Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

52 g of sodium 5-acetylamino-3-oxapentanoate were dissolved in 200 ml of water. 11.4 g of NaOH were added at 20° C., and the reaction mixture was then heated at 100° C. for 8 h until precursor was no longer detectable. Then 200 ml of EtOH were added and the pH was adjusted to about 6, resulting in pure crystals of sodium 5-amino-3-oxapentanoate. The crude product resulting after removal of the solvent by distillation as a mixture with sodium acetate weighing 63.3 g (corresponding to 100% of theory) could be employed without prior precipitation for the subsequent reaction.
