Procedure

35.8 g (0.2 mol) of 4-aminobutyraldehyde-diethylacetal (90%) are dissolved in 600 ml of dichloromethane, 300 ml of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution are added, and the mixture is cooled to 0° C. 17 ml (0.24 mol) of acetyl chloride are added dropwise at 0°-5° C., and the mixture is stirred for a further 6 hours at 0°-5° C. The organic phase is separated off and the aqueous phase is extracted twice more with dichloromethane. The organic phases are combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated by evaporation in a rotary evaporator. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate. 4-(N-acetylamino)butyraldehyde-diethylacetal is obtained in the form of a yellowish oil.
