Procedure
Cysteine (24.2 g, 0.2 mole) and 3-pyridine carboxaldehyde (21.4 g, 0.2 mmole) were suspended in 60% aqueous ethanol (400 mL) and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled and most of the solvent was removed in vacuo. The resulting slurry was washed with ethanol and filtered. This material was dried overnight in vacuo at 50° C. to afford the thiazolidine acid (34 g, 81%).
