Synthesis of n-(n-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-l-alpha-aspartyl)-l-phenylalanine 1-methylester by reductive alkylation and crystallization/isolation in aqueous methanol

摘要

N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester is produced by reductive alkylation and crystallization/isolation in methanol and water. The production method is efficient and low cost, as compared with conventional N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester synthesis and results in high purity N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester.
