Procedure

A mixture of 140.14 g Z-Gln-OH (0.5 mole) and 274.4 g 4-methyltriphenylcarbinol (1 mole) in 1.5 l acetic acid and 93.4 ml acetic anhydride (1 mole) is stirred at room temperature for 7 minutes. Upon addition of 2.5 ml concentrated sulfuric acid the temperature is raised to 50° C.; a clear, yellow solution results after 15 minutes. After 21/2 hrs the solution is allowed to cool and poured into 5 l ice-cold water. The precipitate formed is filtered off, washed thoroughly with water and dissolved in 1 l ethylacetate. The resulting solution is washed with saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to an oil (400 ml) which crystallized on addition of diisopropylether.
