Abstract
Esterification of the carboxyl group of amino acids plays an important role in the synthesis of peptides, especially due to the
increased solubility in non-aquous organic solvents (Bodanszky, 1993). The synthesis of methyl esters is straightforward
and can be performed by the reaction of HCl gas with a suspension of the amino acid in methanol. In this reaction the
hydrochloride of the amino acid methyl ester is obtained, which is the subject of the present study.
