Reaktionsschritte

Methyl chloroformate (0.071 mL, 0.91 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 3-aminobutanoate (0.10 g, 0.76 mmol) (Aldrich, Cat. #E10556) and triethylamine (0.16 mL, 1.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.0 mL) at r.t. After stirring at r.t. for 30 min, the mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methanol (3.0 mL) and water (1.0 mL). To the solution was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.049 g, 1.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight. The mixture was adjusted to pH=2 with aqueous HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford the desired product.
