Reaction Steps

3-Phenylmethylamino-2-methyl-propanoic acid methyl ester (79 g, 0.38 mole) from Example and ethyl acrylate (54.2 ml, 50.06 g, 0.5 mole) were dissolved in 200 ml of methanol and then heated to reflux overnight. After being cooled, the solution was concentrated under vacuum to remove the excess of solvent and ethyl acrylate to yield the crude N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]-N-[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]phenylmethylamine (110 g, 95%).
