Abstract

A new method was proposed for synthesis of D,L-5-oxoproline from N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid in weakly acid medium in the presence of water, and hydrolysis of an acetyl and cyclization and total racemization of the acid simultaneously take place. The advantage of the method is the possibility of obtaining two individual amino acids with high yields in one chemical process using L-glutamic acid.
