Condensation
« on: June 18, 2006, 08:18:37 AM »
I'm trying condensation reaction between two esters, i.e. alanine-t-butyl/benzyl ester & an alpha-bromoester as under :



                                                                                                            COOC2H5
                                                                                                             l
PhCH2CH2CHCOOC2H5  +   CH3CHCOOR          to          PhCH2CH2CHNHCHCOOR
                  l                                   l                                                                l
                 Br                                 NH2                                                         CH3

where, R=Benzyl/t-butyl. 

i.e. eliminating HBr in this reaction.

I have just one refernce route for this using acetonitrile as solvent & adding TEA & both of the reactants, all in eq.molar prop. & reflux for over 2 days.....But still not getting good conversion..

Can I get any other route for this condensation ?
