methyl (2S)-2-aminopentanoate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To 20 mL of methanol was slowly added 2.6 mL acetyl chloride. Then 2.0 g (17.1 mmole) of L-norvaline was added. The solution was heated to reflux and monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) until complete. The methanol was stripped off by rotary evaporation and the resulting oil was pumped under high vacuum overnight to give the title compound. NMR(300 MHZ, CD3OD): δ 4.03 (t, Nva-α, 1H), 3.81 (s, COOCH3, 3H), 1.87 (m, CH2CH2CH3, 2H), 1.44 (m, CH2CH2CH3, 2H), 0.98 (t, CH2CH2CH3, 3H). The solution was heated to reflux The methanol was stripped off by rotary evaporation was pumped under high vacuum overnight
