Reaction Steps

The oxazolidinone from Cbz-glycine (221 mg, 1.0 mmole) was dissolved in 10 ml of CHCl3 and triethylsilane (193 ∥l=174 mg, 1.5 mmoles) and trifluoroacetic acid (770 μl, 10 mmoles) were added. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. and concentrated in vacuo. CHCl3 was added and the solution was reconcentrated to a colorless oil. Silica gel chromatography gave 107 mg (48%) of Cbz-sarcosine, identified by NMR (N-Me, 2.98 ppm) and amino acid analysis.
