Procedure

Twenty-seven and nine-tenths grams (g) (0.2 mole) of glycine ethyl ester --HCl was combined with about 100 grams of ice in a reaction flask. Solid NaHCO3 (33.6 g) (0.4 mole) was then added to this mixture followed by dropwise addition of 23.0 g (0.2 mole) of chloroacetyl chloride with stirring. The temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained between -10° and -5° C. by ice addition. The solid precipitate that formed was separated from the reaction mixture by filtration, washed with ice water and air dried. The yield was 15 g (41.7%) of a solid having a melting point of 60°-62° C. which was identified as the title compound by infrared (IR) spectroscopy analysis.
