3-(dibutylamino)propanoic acid

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: After completion of the reaction, acrylic acid and di-n-butylamine were assayed by gas chromatography. As a result, formation of 152.5 g (yield 98%) of N,N-di-n-butyl-β-alanine was confirmed, with the rates of conversion of acrylic acid and di-n-butylamine being 98% and 98%, respectively.
