Hydrogen Bromide → Hydrochloric Acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

The hydrolysis can be performed by refluxing the N-methyl-N-pentyl-β-alanine methyl ester in a diluted mineral acid, but can also be performed by refluxing in water at least until no ester can be detected any further. Formation of the hydrohalogenide such as the hydrobromide or the hydrochloride, preferably of the hydrochloride (X═Cl) can be effected by addition of an aqueous solution of the appropriate mineral acid. The resulting N-methyl-N-pentyl-β-alanine hydrohalogenide, e.g., hydrochloride, can be isolated by distilling of the water and by a crystallization of the residue in a suitable solvent such as toluene/acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, preferably in methyl ethyl ketone.
