With triethylamine In dichloromethane at 0 - 20℃; for 48 h; Inert atmosphere
To a suspension of sarcosine (35.64 g, 0.40 mol) in 350 mL MeOH was added thionyl chloride (29.02 mL, 0.40 mol) dropwise at 0 °C. After complete addition the cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at r.t. and refluxed for further 6 h. The resulting solution was concentrated in vacuum and the residue was dried in high vacuum over night at r.t. to afford sarcosine methyl ester.HCl as a white powder which was used in the next step without further purification; yield: 56.14 g (quant.); mp. 102 °C. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 9.76 (s, 2 H, NH2), 3.88 (t, J = 5.6 Hz, 2 H, H-2), 3.82 (s, 3 H, H-4)), 2.83 (t, J = 5.2 Hz, 3 H, H-3). 13C-NMR(75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 166.7 (C-1), 53.3 (C-2), 48.9 (C-3), 33.4 (C-4).1 To a suspension of sarcosine methylester.HCl (59.80 g, 0.43 mol) and (Boc)2O (138.01 mL, 0.65 mol) in 1.0 L CH2Cl2 TEA (119.09 mL, 0.86 mol) was added dropwise at 0 °C. After complete addition the cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred for two days at r.t. Aq. HCl (1 M) was added until the aqueous layer showed pH = 6. The resulting two layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with dist. H2O, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated in vacuum and volatile impurities were removed in high vacuum over night at r.t. to afford a clear oil; yield: 78.65 g (90 percent)
Boc-N-sarcosine methyl ester (18) was prepared by treating a solution of Boc-Sar- OH (1.0 g, 5.3 mmol) in 1 : 1 DCM/MeOH (25 mL) cooled to 0° C portionwise with diazomethane (2M solution, excess) until the reaction mixture turned slight yellow. The reaction was kept at 0° C for 30 min and then HOAc (2 drops) was added. The organic solvents were removed to afford 1.0 g (90percent) of 18.
Stage #1: With sodium hydrogencarbonate In tetrahydrofuran; water for 18 h; Stage #2: With sodium hydride In N,N-dimethyl-formamide at 0℃; for 0.5 h; Stage #3: at 20℃; for 48 h;
Glycine methyl ester hydrochloride (50.0 g, 0.398 mol, 1 eq.) was added to a 1 L flask containing water (300 mL) and THF (200 mL). Sodium bicarbonate (37.8 g, 0.438 mol) was added portionwise, followed by di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (83.4 g, 0.382 mol). The reaction was stirred for 18 h, and then the separated organic phase was concentrated. The mixture was redissolved in EtOAC, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated to give an oily product (72 g, 95percent). The oily product was dissolved in DMF (500 mL) and cooled to 0° C. To the mixture was added NaH (60percent, 18.3 g, 0.457 mol) portionwise. The mixture was then stirred for 30 min and MeI (81.1 g, 0.571 mol) was added at such a rate as to maintain a reaction temperature below 20° C. The mixture was stirred at RT for 48 h. The mixture was poured into ice water (1.5 L), extracted with MTBE (300 mL×2). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. Silica gel chromatography (PE:EtOAc 7:1) gave N-Boc-N-methyl glycine methyl ester (21 g, 27percent).
