Reaction Steps

3-Mercapto-2-methylpropanoic acid (2.4 g.) and N-hydroxymethylacetamide (1.8 g.) are dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid and the solution is stored at room temperature for 1 hour. The trifluoroacetic acid is removed in vacuo and the residue is dried in vacuo over potassium hydroxide to yield 3-acetamidomethylthio-2-methylpropanoic acid.
