Procedure

There was dissolved 1.40 g (6.0 mmol) of the phenylalanine methyl ester (31) in 50 ml of a 1N HCl solution and then the resulting solution was stirred at 105° C. for 12 hours. After cooling, the resulting mixture was concentrated and then ion-exchanged using Dowex-50w-X8 to thus give 1.10 mg (5.97 mmol, 99%) of the title compound: phenylalanine (1).
