- General Synthesis of Amino Acid Salts from Amino Alcohols and Basic Water Liberating H2
-
An atom-economical and environmentally friendly method to transform amino alcohols to amino acid salts using just basic water, without the need of pre-protection or added oxidant, catalyzed by a ruthenium pincer complex, is developed. Water is the solvent, the source of the oxygen atom of the carboxylic acid group, and the actual oxidant, with liberation of dihydrogen. Many important and useful natural and unnatural amino acid salts can be produced in excellent yields by applying this new method.

- HIGHLY CONCENTRATED AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF N,N-DIALKYLGLYCINES AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF
-
An aqueous high-concentration solution of N,N-dialkylglycine, economical, easy to handle, and useful for subsequent organic chemical reactions, is provided. Also is provided a process for production thereof. The aqueous high-concentration solution of N,N-dialkylglycine which contains the N,N-dialkylglycine at a concentration of 30-80 % by mass, and a metal-mineral acid salt at a content of 0.3-3 % by mass can be produced industrially from an aqueous N,N-dialkylglycine alkali metal salt as the source material by the steps of(i) neutralizing an aqueous solution of an N,N-dialkylglycine alkali metal salt with a mineral acid,(ii) condensing the obtained aqueous solution by removal of water, and(iii) separating by solid-liquid separation the deposited alkali metal-mineral acid salt from the resulting slurry of the aqueous N,N-dialkylglycine solution and the alkali metal-mineral acid salt.
