Procedure

0.3 g. of palladium/barium sulfate catalyst are added to a solution of 6 g. of DL-α-azido-3-thiopheneacetic acid in 40 ml. of ethanol and 40 ml. of 0.5N hydrochloric acid. Hydrogenation takes place at about 60 psig. after 2 hours. After filtration, the volume is concentrated to about 30 ml. When the pH is brought to 6.5 with ammonia, the amino acid separates as a white powder. After washing with ethanol/water and drying, 3.5 g. of the product, DL-α-amino-3-thiopheneacetic acid, are obtained; m.p. 283°-285°.
