Abstract
DL-p-Trimethylsilylphenylalanine has been prepared in good yield by condensation of 4-trimethylsilylbenzyl bromide with diethyl formamidomalonate, followed by mild hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the resulting disodium α-(4-trimethylsilylbenzyl)formamidomalonate. Its N-carboxyanhydride was obtained on reaction of the amino-acid with carbonyl chloride, and it has been polymerised in pyridine.
