Reaction Steps

In another step of the method, 3-isobutylglutaric acid anhydride is reacted with ammonia to form (±)-3-(carbamoylmethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid. In this step, the cyclic anhydride is opened and one of the carbonyl groups is converted to an amide. (±)-3-(carbamoyl methyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid can be recrystallized from a number of solvents including ethyl acetate, water, chloroform and 2-butanone.
