Abstract
A synthetic sequence for the preparation of N-(meth)acryloyl-2-amino acids is outlined which involves transformation of a ketone successively into an aminonitrile and a (meth)acrylamidonitrile, followed by selective hydrolysis of the nitrile function. All reactions are performed in aqueous media, in one reaction vessel, and in a stepwise manner without isolation of any intermediate products.
