Treatment of tyrosine with paraformaldehyde and catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonic acid, at reflux in toluene, directly generates benzyl (S)-4-(4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-ylmethyl)-5-oxo-1,3-oxazolane-3-carboxylate, which on treatment with boron trichloride in dichloromethane, affords (S)-4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylphenylalanine.

Abstract

Treatment of tyrosine with paraformaldehyde and catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonic acid, at reflux in toluene, directly generates benzyl (S)-4-(4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-ylmethyl)-5-oxo-1,3-oxazolane-3-carboxylate, which on treatment with boron trichloride in dichloromethane, affords (S)-4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylphenylalanine.
