Procedure

To a stirring mixture of 2-aminoisobutyric acid (165.8 g, 1.61 mol), sodium hydroxide (64.4 g, 1.61 mol), and 800 mL water cooled to 5° C., was added two separate solutions of chloroacetyl chloride (200 g, 1.77 mol) and sodium hydroxide (70.8 g, 1.77 mol) in 143 mL water. The temperature was maintained between 5 to 10° C. during the addition. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and the solution was acidified with 165 mL of concentrated aq. HCl. The precipitated solid was filtered and dried under vacuum. A yield of 180.4 g (62%) was obtained.
