Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 192.8 parts of ethyl N-[2(ethoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]-N-(phenylmethyl)-β-alanine and 280 parts of absolute ethanol is stirred in an hydrogenation vessel. Then there are added 45 parts of hydrochloric acid solution. After cooling, 10 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 5% are added and the whole is shaken at room temperature while one equivalent of hydrogen is taken up. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated, yielding ethyl N-[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-β-alanine hydrochloride as an oily residue.
