Procedure

To the m-phenoxybenzyl ester of N-phenylvaline (0.25 g) in HMPT (1 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (1 ml), at 24°, is added methyl iodide (0.12 ml) followed by potassium carbonate (0.092 g). The reaction mixture is heated at 60° for 4 days. The reaction is worked up by pouring into ice-water (5 ml) and extracting with ether (3×10 ml). The combined ether extracts are washed with water (2×10 ml) and brine (1×5 ml) and dried over calcium sulfate. The product is isolated and purified by preparative TLC to give the m-phenoxybenzyl ester of N-phenyl-N-methylvaline.
