Participants

Reaction Steps

According to a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned salt can be prepared by reacting creatine with an equimolar amount of D,L-pyroglutamic acid in ethyl acetate (or in a mixture of equal parts ethyl acetate and ethanol) until complete formation of the salt. The solution can be optionally concentrated and, upon cooling, the crystallized salts are filtered and washed with ethyl acetate (or a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol). Alternatively, the procedure can be carried on by reacting excess D,L-pyroglutamic acid with creatine in ethyl acetate (or a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol).
