Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.8 g. (0.047 mole) of β-carbomethoxypropionamidine hydrochloride in 217 ml. of 12N hydrochloric acid is heated at steam bath temperatures for one hour. The solution is cooled, evaporated in vacuo to dryness, and the residual product triturated several times with ethylene dichloride and filtered, 7.1 g. (99% yield), m.p. 138°-140° C. (McElvain, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 71, 40 (1949) reports a melting point for crude product of 131°-137° C.).
