A simple synthetic approach to racemic methyl 2-benzamido-2-(N-benzyl N-ethylamino) acetate in high yield is reported. This synthesis involves the N-alkylation reaction between methyl α-bromo glycinate or methyl α-azido glycinate N-benzoylated and N-benzyl-N-ethylamine in different solvents in the presence of various bases. The structure of this product was established on the basis of NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C), and MS data.

Keywords: Amine; N-alkylation; α-Amino acids; Methyl α-azido glycinate, methyl α-bromo glycinate.
