Title: 4-cyano-3-hydroxybutanoyl hydrazines, derivatives and process for the preparation thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:873220

Novel 4-cyano-3-hydroxybutanoyl hydrazides (10), particularly R-chiral intermediates are described. The intermediates are useful in preparing (R)-3-hydroxy-4-trimethylaminobutyric acid (L-carnitine) and R-4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid (GABOB) and chiral chemical intermediates which are medically useful.
