Reaction Steps

In this reaction scheme, methyl 6-bromohexanoate is alkylated with methyl glycine in the presence of sodium hydride to afford the 6-[(carboxymethyl)amino]hexanoic acid. Treatment of 6-[(carboxymethyl)amino]hexanoic acid with sodium hydroxide affords the corresponding 6-[(carboxymethyl)amino]hexanoic acid disodium salt.
