Reaktionsschritte

An intimate mixture of of 3-amino-3-methyl butanoic acid (27.4 g, 0.234 mol) and phthalic anhydride (38.1 g, 0.257 mol) is heated at 180° C. for 1.5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is dissolved in 40 ml of ethanol and kept in a refrigerator for 54 hours. The colorless crystalline precipitate thus obtained is collected by suction and dried at 50° C. for 3 hours in a vacuum oven to give 19.2 g of β,β-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-2-isoindolinepropionic acid (58%).
