  • Patent number: 6191306
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropylglycine by a 5-step process wherein cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde is reacted with an &agr;-aminoalkylaromatic compound to obtain an imine which is reacted with a cyanide to produce an aminonitrile compound; the aminonitrile compound is hydrolyzed to the corresponding aminocarboxylic acid and finally the arylalkyl residue is removed from the amino group by hydrogenolysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 1999
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2001
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Daniel John Bayston, Jonathan Luke William Griffin, Arne Gruman, Mario Eugenio Cosimino Polywka, Ronald Michael Scott
  • Patent number: 6103929
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropylglycine by a 5-step process wherein cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde is reacted with an .alpha.-aminoalkylaromatic compound to obtain an imine which is reacted with a cyanide to produce an aminonitrile compound; the aminonitrile compound is hydrolyzed to the corresponding aminocarboxylic acid and finally the arylalkyl residue is removed from the amino group by hydrogenolysis.
