[CH:1]1([NH:4][CH2:5][C:6]([O:8]CC)=[O:7])[CH2:3][CH2:2]1.[ClH:11]>O>[ClH:11].[CH:1]1([NH:4][CH2:5][C:6]([OH:8])=[O:7])[CH2:3][CH2:2]1Ethyl cyclopropylaminoacetate was stirred in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and water until the reaction had subsided. The mixture was then heated to reflux for 2 hours. The resulting solution was evaporated to give a white solid which was triturated with acetone and recrystallised from methanol/ethyl acetate to give cyclopropylaminoacetic acid hydrochloride of melting point 189°-191° C. (decomposition).
