Reaction Steps

In a similar operation, 0.45 gram (0.005 mole) of alanine, 0.87 gram (0.01 mole) of lithium bromide, 0.95 gram (0.0055 mole) of benzyl bromide and 4.8 grams of N-methylpyrrolidinone were stirred together for 5.5 hours at 55° C. to obtain the desired benzyl alaninate product. High pressure liquid chromatographic assay showed yield of the product to be 89 percent.
