Methanol → Methyl 2-amino-3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoic acid (2.0 g, 8.2 mmol, Chem-Impex, Cat. No. 06163) in methanol (10 mL) was added thionyl chloride (1.2 mL, 16 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with ether and dried under vacuum to afford the desired compound which was directly used in the next step reaction without further purification. LCMS (M+H)+: m/z=258.2.
