To an ice-cold soln of lysine-Cu(II) complex 5 (5.2 g, 14.9 mmol see Section 2.1.2.2.1.1) in 1 M NaOH (60 mL) and MeOH (60 mL) was added ethyl formate (24 mL, 298 mmol), and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 2 h with ice-cooling. The pH was maintained between 8 and 9 by addition of 5 M NaOH. The organic solvent was removed, and the precipitated copper complex was filtered off and washed with several portions of H2O. The complex was suspended in H2O, H2S was passed through the solution and the copper sulfide was removed by filtration with the aid of Norite and Filter-cel. The filtrate was concentrated to a small volume, and EtOH was added to bring about crystallization. The crystals were collected, dissolved in a small volume of HjO and recrystallized by addition of EtOH yield 1.72 g (33%) mp 214-215 °C (dec) -Hl.l (c 0.91, H2O) -1-15.5 (c 1.4, sat. aq NaHCOs). 

Transfer the concentrate from Section 6.1.1 into a 200-niL separatory funnel with a small amount of water and add 10 mL of saturated sodium chloride solution. Extract three times with 50 mL of n-hexane (a free form of fluthiacet-methyl is present in the aqueous layer see Section 8). Dry the n-hexane extract through 80 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate on a glass funnel and transfer the dried extract into a 300-mL separatory funnel. Extract twice with 70 mL of acetonitrile, collect the extract in a 300-mL round-bottom flask, and evaporate the solvent under reduced pressure. Dissolve the residue in 10 mL of n-hexane-ethyl acetate (4 1, v/v), transfer the solution to a Bond Elut LRC SI column and discard the first eluate. Connect a Sep-Pak Plus NH2 cartridge to the outlet of a Bond Elut LRC SI cartridge and elute fluthiacet-methyl with 15 mL of n-hexane-ethyl acetate (2 3, v/v). Collect the eluate in a 50-mL pear-shaped flask, evaporate the solvent under reduced pressure and dissolve the residue in an appropriate volume of acetone for analysis.
