Aminoacetonitrile is readily obtained as an aqueous solution by reacting an aqueous solution of glycolonitrile with liquid ammonia. The solution is stabilized by lowering the pH with small amounts of sulfuric acid. Aminoacetonitrile can also be isolated as the hydrochloride or sulfate. Aminoacetonitrile is usually further hydrolyzed by sodium hydroxide to the sodium salt of glycine, which in turn is neutralized to glycine.

Reaction Conditions:

at 255; for 1 h;Temperature;

Steps:

A Nitrile Product Preparation Example A
General procedure: Following the amide intermediate Preparation Example A. The reaction vessel is closed (when the amide intermediate has a boiling point at normal pressure equal to or lower than the reaction temperature TB described below) or the reaction vessel is kept open (when the amide intermediate has a boiling point higher than the normal pressure When the reaction temperature is TB), stirring is continued (600 r/min), the reaction temperature is changed to TB, and after the reaction temperature TB is maintained for TD hours, the reaction is substantially completed. Then, the reaction vessel was sealed and connected to a vacuum pump so that the degree of vacuum in the reaction vessel reached 20-50 mbar (according to the type of nitrile product) and the distillate was used as the nitrile product. The yield of the nitrile product was calculated and sampled for nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis to characterize the nitrile product obtained. Specific reaction conditions and characterization results are shown in Tables A-7, A-8, A-9, A-10, A-11 and A-12 below. These characterization results show that the nitrile product obtained has an extremely high purity (above 99%).In these nitrile product preparation examples, 10 g of phosphorus pentaoxide is preferably added to the reaction vessel as a catalyst at one stage, optionally at the beginning of the reaction.
