Procedure

2.00 g (13.0 mmol) of 4-(methylamino)butanoic acid hydrochloride was dissolved in 40 mL of ethanol and 69 μL (1.30 mmol) of concentrated sulfuric acid was added thereto, followed by stirring of the mixture at 90° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, followed by azeotropy with toluene. 3.02 g of the obtained residue was used for the subsequent reaction as such.
