Reaction Steps

0.415 g (1.55 mmol) of 2-amino-6-hydroxy-4-phosphonomethyl-hex-3-enoic acid ethyl ester is heated under reflux in 3 ml of water for 24 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated by evaporation, purified by chromatography on 10 g of silica gel with ethanol/water (1:1) as eluant, and crystallised from ethanol. 2-amino-6-hydroxy-4-phosphonomethyl-hex-3-enoic acid having a melting point >300° is obtained.
