Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 13491570, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of DL-tert-leucine (2 g, 15.3 mol) in aqueous sodium hydroxide (2 M, 25 ml) was added dropwise phenylacetyl chloride (646 mg, 20.8 mmol), simultaneously with sodium hydroxide (2 M, 25 ml), at 0° C. over a period of 5 min. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for an additional 60 min until complete dissolution occurred. The reaction was then cooled to 0° C., acidified to pH 4 with conc. HCl, and stirred for 30 min. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, dried, and recrystallised from ethanol/water (1:1 v/v) to yield the product as a white solid (2.06 g, 54%).
