참여 물질

반응 단계

1.72 g of L-cysteine methylester hydrochloride was neutralized by addition of 0.84 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The resulting ester was dissolved in 2 ml of methanol, and to this solution was added a solution of 0.94 g of benzaldehyde in 3 ml of methanol. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 40 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. Ether was added to the reaction mixture, and then the mixture was extracted with diluted hydrochloric acid. The extract was neutralized by addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate and then extracted with ether. The organic portion was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and placed under reduced pressure for distilling off the solvent. There was obtained 1.51 g of 4-methoxycarbonyl-2-phenylthiazolidine as a colorless oil.
