Hydrochloric Acid → N-Carbobenzoxysarcosine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)(methyl)amino)acetate (2.66 mg, 10.6 mmol, prepared the previous step) in MeOH (24 mL) and THF (5 mL) and treated with a solution of LiOH (12 mL, 54 mmol, 4.52 M in water). After stirring at room temperature for 3 hours, the pH was adjusted to ˜5 by the addition of aqueous HCl. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to yield the product.
