Reaction Steps

A mixed solution containing 46 g of 3-(p-amino-benzoyl)propionic acid hydrochloride, 25 g of 2-methyl-2-nitro-1-propanol, 1 g of benzyl triethyl ammonium chloride, 17 g of sodium hydroxide and 40 ml of water was heated under reflux for 6 hours. Then, 12 g of 2-methyl-2-nitro-1-propanol was added, and the mixture was further heated under reflux for 18 hours. Then 20% HCl was added. The solution was acidified (pH 2). The crystals which precipitated were collected by filtration. The crystals were washed with water and recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran to give 51.6 g of 3-[4-(2-methyl-2-nitropropylamino)benzoyl]propionic acid.
