2-Oxoglutaric Acid → HCID 86734016, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.617 g. of vincamine (0.005 mole) is dissolved in 15 ml. of chloroform, and 0.8 g. (0.055 mole) of 2-ketoglutaric acid previously dissolved in 5 ml. of methanol is added. After concentration of the resulting solution in a rotary evaporator until a volume of 5 ml. is obtained, 1.75 g. of vincamine 2-ketoglutarate is obtained. By subsequent successive concentrations, an additional amount of 0.5 g. of salt is obtained. A total of 2.25 g. is thus obtained (yield 90%).
