Reaction Steps

Hydrogen chloride gas is bubbled through a solution of (L)-homophenylalanine (5.13 g, 28.7 mmol) in 100 mL of ethanol for 5 minutes. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo to yield L-homophenylalanine ethyl ester hydrochloride as a white solid.
