Reaction Steps

L-Alanine stearyl ester p-toluenesulfonate was synthesized in the same manner as described in Example 18 for the synthesis of an L-alanine ester p-toluenesulfonate, except that 11.4 g (0.06 mole) of stearyl alcohol was used in place of myristyl alcohol. The resulting L-alanine stearyl ester p-toluenesulfonate was dissolved again in 200 ml of benzene, and this solution was treated three times with 300-ml portions of 0.4N NaOH. Thereafter, the benzene layer was isolated and washed thoroughly with water. After washing with water, the benzene layer was isolated and dried overnight over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After drying, the benzene layer was filtered and the resulting benzene solution was evaporated to remove the solvent. Thus, there was obtained 16.15 g (94.4% yield) of purified free L-alanine stearyl ester in the form of an oily material.
