27. 1H NMR analysis is complicated by the presence of amide rotamers. The involatility of 1 made capillary GC analysis impractical, and conditions for the separation of the diastereomeric alkylation products by HPLC have not been found.

29. In order to properly identify the minor enantiomer for HPLC analysis, D-azatyrosine was prepared by alkylation of the enantiomeric pseudoephedrine glycinamide ((S,S)-(+)-2) with iodide 6 followed by alkaline hydrolysis. D-Azatyrosine showed equivalent spectroscopic properties as L-azatyrosine, but opposite optical rotation.
30. In contrast to other alkyl halides we have studied, small amounts of N-alkylation products are observed (<5%) during the alkylation with the highly reactive electrophile 6 whenever the reactions are conducted above -78 °C. These N-alkylation products are readily separated from the desired product by chromatography.
