Reaction Steps

14.3 g of N-formyl-L-aspartic anhydride (0.1 mole) was added to a mixture of 100 ml of methyl ethyl ketone and 24.0 g of acetic acid (0.4 mole). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. A solution of 17.9 g of L-phenylalanine methyl ester (0.1 mole) dissolved in 200 ml of methyl ethyl ketone was added to the above solution and stirred at room temperature for 6 hours to produce N-formyl-α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester.
