Participants

Reaction Steps

Crude (±)-N-diphenylmethylene-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-alanine ethyl ester (280 mg) was treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (100 mg) in acetonitrile (35 ml) and water (3.5 ml) at ambient temperature for 3.5 hours. After concentration the residue is extracted with ether and 1N sodium hydroxide, washed with brine, dried, and concentrated to give crude 3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-alanine ethyl ester.
