Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl chloroformate (0.25 ml.) at -5° C. was added to a solution of 350 mg. of t-butoxycarbonylaminoacetic acid and 0.4 ml. of triethylamine in 10 ml. of methylene chloride at -5° C. After stirring 5 minutes at -5° C. there was added a solution of 610 mg. of 2-imino-3-methylthiazolidine hydrogen iodide and 1.0 ml. of triethylamine in 10 ml. of methylene chloride also at -5° C. Stirring was continued at -5° C. for 15 minutes and one hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with 40 ml. of 20% (w/v) citric acid solution, sodium bicarbonate solution, and water, dried and concentrated to dryness. The residue was triturated with ether, petroleum ether and ether and finally collected to give pure N-(3-methylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)-t-butoxycarbonylaminoacetamide.
