Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated employing 2-amino-2-methyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid rather than 2-hydrazino-2 -methyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid. The butyl (±)-2-amino-2-methyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionate was obtained in a yield of 82%. The product was recrystallized from acetonitrile (77% yield) to give pure ester: mp 121.5 ° C. to 122.0° C.; HPLC analysis (C-18 column, 280 nm, tR =14.5 min) showed >99% purity.
