Participants

Reaction Steps

Next, to a solution of 3-benzenesulfonylaminopropionic acid ethyl ester (340 mg, 1.32 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) is added aqueous 1M NaOH (4 mL, 4.0 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture is poured into water and is extracted with ether. The aqueous phase is acidified with aqueous 1M HCl and the solution is lyophilized to give 3-benzenesulfonylaminopropionic acid.
