Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 69256238, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 22 L flask was equipped with an overhead stirrer. Deionized water (2000 mL) and 4-[(4-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzoyl)amino]butanoic acid (380.0 g, 1.47 mol) were added and stirring was started. A solution of sodium hydroxide (59.0 g, 1.48 mol) in water (500 mL) was added to the reactor. Water (1500 mL) was added to the reactor, and the resulting slurry was heated until a complete solution was obtained. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The resulting solids were scraped from the flask and vacuum dried at 50° C. to give 401.2 g of sodium 4-[(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]butanoate as an off-white solid. The yield was 96.9%.
