Propylamine → 2-methyl-N-propylalaninamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 26.3 parts of methyl 2-amino-2-methylpropionate in methanol is added 70 parts of n-propylamine. The mixture is placed in a bomb and left at a temperature of 100° C. for one week. The solvents are then stripped off under reduced pressure. Distillation of the residual oil affords N1 -propyl-2-amino-2-methylpropionamide, boiling at 58° C. at 0.1 mm pressure.
