Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-trifluoromethylcrotonic acid (10 g) and liquid ammonia (23 ml) in ammonium hydroxide (27 ml sd=0.88) was heated in a closed steel vessel at 148°-152° C. for 16 hours evaporation of the cooled solution gave 3-amino-3-trifluoromethylbutyric acid (10.2 g), as a viscous colourless oil. ##STR6##
