Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of 3N ammonium hydroxide (7.2 ml., 0.0216 mole) is slowly added to a suspension of N-[3-(mercaptoacetylamino)benzoyl]glycine (5 g., 0.0186 mole) in 40 ml. of tetrahydrofuran with 5 mg. of disodium edetate. The resulting solution is diluted with 300 ml. of tetrahydrofuran and after cooling in a dry ice-ethanol bath to promote crystallization is stirred overnight. The precipitated solid is collected, washed with tetrahydrofuran and air dried to afford 4.6 g., (79.3% yield) of N-[3-(mercaptoacetylamino)benzoyl]glycine ammonium salt susquihydrate, m.p. 56°-119° C. (dec.).
