Reaction Steps

The present invention provides an alternate process for the synthesis of 3-[N-(methylpentyl)amino]propionic acid (III) wherein N-methyl benzyl amine is condensed with 1-bromo pentane in presence of potassium carbonate, using acetone as solvent to give N-methyl N-pentyl benzyl amine. This is debenzylated using palladium on carbon as catalyst and alcohol as solvent. The resulting product N-methyl pentyl amine is condensed with methyl acrylate in toluene to get 3-[N-(methylpentyl)amino]propionate, which is further hydrolysed to obtain Intermediate III.
