Study on synthesis of N-(L-Isopropionyloxy)maleamic acid

N-(L-Isopropionyloxy)maleamic acid was synthesized from maleic anhydride and L-α-alanine. With acetic acid as solvent. In this paper, material ration, reaction time and temperature have been studied in relate to their influences to yield. The product was characterized by PERKIN-ELMER FTIR-1710, PE-2400 element analytical instrument and polarimeter.
