However, all of these methods use L-phenylalanine methyl ester as one of the reaction raw materials, and the step of methylating phenylalanine is complicated. In addition, according to the results of studies conducted by the present inventors, this phenylalanine methyl ester is a compound which, in the free form, is condensed into two molecules in a solution to cyclize and is easily converted to 2,5-dibenzyldiketopiperazine. , I knew there was a problem with its stability.

However, the former method has no selectivity in the reaction because the esterification reaction is carried out in a state close to a non-aqueous system, and not only the desired esterification but also the esterification to the β-carboxylic acid group on the aspartic acid side or the diester. A large amount of the chemical reaction also takes place, which results in a low α-APM yield.
In the latter method, the esterification reaction is carried out in the presence of water to enhance the selectivity of α-APM, but the α-APM isolation yield is at most 50-60% (vs. α-L-aspartyl- It is L-phenylalanine) and is not always sufficient in terms of yield.

As another method not using L-phenylalanine methyl ester, N-carboxyanhydride of L-aspartic acid-β-methyl ester is condensed with L-phenylalanine to obtain α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine-β- Recently, a method of producing a methyl ester and subjecting this compound to an intramolecular transesterification reaction in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution containing methanol to produce α-APM has been disclosed (JP-A-59-225152, JP-A-59-225152). -225153). However,
In this method, the esterification reaction for producing β-methyl ester of aspartic acid has poor selectivity and low yield,
In addition, since the N-carboxylic acid anhydride produced by reacting this with phosgene has a property of being easily polymerized by contact with a base or the like, it is a method having a drawback that it is difficult to handle industrially.

When the amount of methanol used exceeds 6 molar ratio, the methanol concentration of the reaction system becomes high, the solubility of the produced α-APM hydrochloride is improved, and α-APM is esterified α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine dimethyl. Undesirably increased ester. Also, if the hydrochloride is too low,
Since ring cleavage of -benzyl-3,6-dioxo-2-piperazineacetic acid methyl ester is less likely to occur, it becomes difficult to obtain α-APM in a high yield. On the other hand, if the concentration of hydrochloric acid is too high, not only is it difficult for α-APM hydrochloride to precipitate, but side reactions are also likely to occur, which is not preferable.

(Effects of the Invention) In the method of the present invention, (1) 5-benzyl-3,6-dioxo-2-piperazineacetic acid methyl ester as a starting material is converted into L-phenylalanine methyl ester having a problem in stability in a solution. (2) 5-benzyl-3,6, which is a raw material which can be directly produced without using L-phenylalanine.
-Dioxo-2-piperazineacetic acid methyl ester from α
This is a method for producing α-APM, which has the advantage that the conversion to -APM proceeds in hydrochloric acid containing methanol under mild conditions, and α-APM can be produced in good yield.
