Reaction Steps

To a cold solution of isobutylene (50 ml) in dioxane (80 ml), add S-(4-methylbenzyl)-L-cysteine (5.0 g) and concentrated H2SO4 (10 ml). Seal the vessel, allow to warm to room temperature, and stir for 18 hr. Pour into 5% NaOH (500 ml), extract with Et2O (3×400 ml), dry (MgSO4) and concentrate the Et2O in vacuo to give an oil. Treat the oil with HCl in Et2O to give the title compound, white needles (2.76 g) m.p. 218° (dec).
