Procedure

Separately, in a single-necked, round bottomed flask, equipped with a magnetic stirrer, 6.56 g (50 mmol) of Isoleucine is dissolved in 200 ml of water. To this is added 55 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide with vigorous stirring, until heat production ceases. At this point the water is removed by evaporation to yield the carboxylate salt, sodium 2-amino-3-methylpentanoate, shown below.
