Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-Chlorobenzoic acid (5.0 g, 31.9 mmol), serine methylester hydrochloride (6.1 g, 31.9 mmol) and HOBt (4.31 g, 31.9 mmol) in DMF (100 ml) was added N-methylmorpholine (NMM) (7.0 ml, 63.8 mmol) and EDCI (4.97 g, 31.9 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (300 ml) and then washed with water (3×250 ml) followed by brine. The organic extract was dried over Na2SO4 (anhydrous) and then concentrated in vacuo giving 2-(3-Chloro-benzoylamino)-3-hydroxy-propionic acid methyl ester (7.2 g, 93%) of a pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) d (ppm): 7.78 (s, 1 H), 7.66 (d, 1 H), 7.45, (dd, 1 H), 7.34 (t, 1 H), 7.25 (br, d, 1H), 4.82 (m, 1 H), 4.08 (m, 2 H), 3.79 (s, 3 H), 3.19 (br, t, 1H).
