Greetings,

        I am currently interested in preparing (+/-)
N-Boc-alpha-bromoglycine methyl ester from the protected amino acid by
reaction with N-bromosuccinimide. The reaction is typically performed
in CCl4, which is no longer readily available. Can anybody suggest
another solvent for this reaction, or similar brominations? An answer
to this question will also prove useful to me in designing undergraduate
laboratory experiments.

                        Thanks in advance for your insight,

                                        Pete Hanson
