Phenylacetic Acid → Ornithine phenylacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The phenyl acetate salt may optionally be prepared in solution using phenyl acetic acid and an appropriate base. This solution may be intermixed with L-ornithine benzoate to obtain L-ornithine phenyl acetate as described above. As an example, phenyl acetic acid may be intermixed with sodium hydroxide in isopropanol to obtain a solution of sodium phenyl acetate. The solution of sodium phenyl acetate can then be intermixed with a solution of L-ornithine benzoate. Alternatively, the phenyl acetate salt may optionally be isolated as a solid before intermixing with L-ornithine benzoate.
