Hydrochloric Acid → (2R)-2-Amino-3-hydroxy-N-(phenylmethyl)propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 500 mL four-neck round bottom flask, 34.0 g (R)-N-benzyl-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-hydroxypropionamide and 350 mL dichloromethane were added, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a clear solution. At 20-25° C., 40.0 g concentrated hydrochloric acid (having a mass concentration of 36.0%) was added, and the reaction was continued. TLC tracking was performed, till the raw materials were completely converted. After the reaction was completed, the temperature was decreased to 20° C. The mixture was suction-filtered, to obtain a white needle-like crystal. The obtained white crystalline solid was dissolved in 50 g water. At 20-25° C., 30% sodium hydroxide solution was added to adjust the pH value of the system to 8-9. After the addition, the solution was stirred continuously, and a white flaky crystal was precipitated. The mixture was suction-filtered, and the filter was washed and dried, to obtain a target product of 16.5 g (0.085 mol). The molar yield was 73.52%.
