Abstract

A series of 3-alkyl-4-aminobutanoic acids were prepared via the Michael addition of nitromethane to 2-alkenoic esters, followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the resultant 3-(nitromethyl)alkanoic esters using 10% palladium on carbon in acetic acid, and acid hydrolysis of the reduction products.
