Step a: Preparation of A^ (benzyloxy carbonyl1-L-glutamine
A solution of sodium hydroxide (27.4 g) in water (300 mL) was added at 25°C to 30°C to a mixture of L-glutamine (100 g) and toluene (300 mL) to obtain a reaction mixture. Benzyl chloroformate (50% solution in toluene; 420 g) was added to the reaction mixture slowly over a period of 60 minutes to 90 minutes while maintaining the pH to 11.0 to 12.0 with simultaneous addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (120 mL; 31.5 g sodium hydroxide dissolved in 120 mL of de-ionized water). Water was added to the reaction mixture and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was washed with toluene (300 mL). The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 1.0 to 1.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid (100 mL) to obtain a slurry. The slurry was cooled to 0°C to 5°C and then stirred for one hour. The product so obtained was filtered, washed with water (2x200 mL) to obtain a wet solid. The wet solid was dried in an air oven at 50°C to 55°C to obtain the title compound.
Yield: 170 g (88.5%)
