Methanol → HCID 178501457, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled suspension of 1.0 gram of N2 -(2-naphthalenesulfonyl)-L-arginine in 15 ml of methanol was added dropwise 0.5 ml of thionyl chloride with vigorous stirring. After being allowed to stand for 2 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, and was evaporated to dryness (syrup). Treatment of the residual syrup with cold ethyl ether gave crude crystals. After recrystallization from methanol-ethyl ether, colorless N2 -(2-naphthalenesulfonyl)-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride was obtained in 90% yield; mp. 183° - 186° C.
