Procedure

N-(t-Butoxycarbonyl)glycine (8.75 g, 0.05 mole) and benzyl bromide (9.4 g, 0.055 mole) were slurried in 20 ml of dimethylformamide and treated with 6.0 g (0.06 mole) of potassium bicarbonate under argon. After stirring for 38 hours, water was added to give a mass of chunky white solid which was filtered and washed with water. The solid was taken up in ethyl acetate, dried (sodium sulfate), evaporated to a solid, and recrystallized from 600 ml of hot hexane. Cooling to -5° C. for two hours and filtering gave 11.6 g of crystalline flakes, melting point 72°-73° C., in two crops.
