Abstract

Both enantiomers of a pseudoephedrine glycinamide [(+)- or (-)-1] were synthesized by either of two procedures: (1) a standard two-step coupling of N-Boc-Gly with pseudoephedrine followed by deprotection, or (2) a more economical one-step coupling reaction of Gly-OMe with pseudoephedrine mediated by LiCl and base.
