Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (±)3-Amino-3-(3-iodo-phenyl)-propionic acid (3.1 g, 10.6 mmol) in methanol was added thionyl chloride (0.95 mL, 12.7 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. Concentration followed by trituration with ether gives a white solid. The solid is filtered, washed with ether and dried to afford the desired product (3.5 g, 10 mmol, 95%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.79 (br, 2H), 8.01 (s, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (dd, J=8.1, 7.8 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (br, 1H), 3.54 (s, 3H), 3.23-3.17 (m, 1H), 3.04-2.98 (m, 1H).
