Participants

Reaction Steps

5.25 g (50.0 mmol) of L-serine was dissolved in 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. 50 ml of 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and a solution of 5 ml (40.6 mmol) of pivaloyl chloride in 12 ml of diethyl ether were simultaneously added dropwise to the obtained solution in ice bath. After stirring for 2.5 hours, 70 ml of 1 N hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture to make it acidic. After extracting with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound.
