Method for producing aspartame derivative, method for purifying the same, crystals thereof and uses of the same

摘要

N-[N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester is prepared by a process comprising: subjecting Aspartame and 3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionaldehyde or derivatives thereof to reductive alkylation in a solvent to produce N-[N-[3-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-alpha-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester; and crystallizing said compound.
