The resulting solution is diluted with 300 ml. of tetrahydrofuran and after cooling in a dry ice-ethanol bath to promote crystallization is stirred overnight. The precipitated solid is collected, washed with tetrahydrofuran and air dried to afford 4.6 g., (79.3% yield) of N-[3-(mercaptoacetylamino)benzoyl]glycine ammonium salt susquihydrate, m.p. 56°-119° C. (dec.).
