Reaktionsschritte

To a suspension of DL-penicillamine (50 g, 335 mmol) in 1:1 aqueous ethanol (500 mL) was added 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (36 g, 335 mmol). The resulting clear-yellow solution was stirred for 17 hours at ambient temperature during which time a white precipitate formed. The white solid was filtered off and rinsed with 3:1 H2O, ethanol and ether to give 2-(3-pyridinyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid (51 g, 64%).
