Hydrochloric Acid → N~2~-Propan-2-ylglycinamide--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-carbamoylmethyl-N-isopropyl-carbamic acid t-butyl ester (2.67 g, 12.3 mmol) (obtained as described in Reference Example 49(1)) in 1,4-dioxane (30 ml) was added a solution of 4N hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane (30 ml) in an ice bath, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After checking the completion of the reaction, diethyl ether was added thereto and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the residue was washed with diethyl ether and then dried under reduced pressure to give 2-isopropylaminoacetamide hydrochloride (1.82 g, yield 97%) as white crystals.
