Triethylamine → HCID 45082394, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.31 g of D-aspartic acid (0.1 mole) are dissolved in 135 ml of absolute ethanol containing 8.7 g of dry hydrogen chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred for about 2 hr. The solution is diluted by addition of 250 ml of absolute ethanol. Triethylamine is then added dropwise until the solution becomes alkaline. After standing for 16 hr at +4° C., the obtained crystals are filtered, washed successively with cold absolute ethanol and ether, then dried. The reaction yields 11.5 g of D-aspartic acid β-ethyl ester (71%).
