Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

100 mmol (9 g) glycine hydroxamic acid were cooled to −25° C. in 200 ml water and methanol each, 100 mmol (15.4 ml 40% solution) methylglyoxal were added dropwise and subsequently the pH was adjusted to approximately pH 11 with 10 ml 30% NaOH. Heating up to 5° C. was carried out in 2 h and concentrated under vacuum to half of the solvent volume. A pH 3 was adjusted with 20% HCl, precipitated solid was filtered off and dried. 7.28 g (52% yield) of the title compound were obtained.
