Benzyl chloroformate → 2-{[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (8.65 mL, 61.5 mmol) was added to a refluxing solution of 4-bromo-dl-phenylalanine (15 g, 61.5 mmol) in ethyl acetate (250 mL). After stirring at reflux overnight, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoic acid which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
