Abstract
L-2-Hydroxysuccinamic acid prepared from L-asparagine was dehydrated with acetic anhydride in pyridine, affording the respective ω-cyano acid, which, on catalytic hydrogenation, gave the title compound. Similarly, the amide groups of some other β- and γ-amic acids were dehydrated to give the respective cyano acids in good yields.
