Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Selective bromination of 4-oxopentanoic acid in methanol in the presence of urea afforded the 4-oxo-5-bromopentanoic acid methyl ester, a key product for obtaining 4-oxo-5-aminopentanoic acid hydrochloride.

  2. 2.

    Alternatively, 4-oxo-5-aminopentanoic acid hydrochloride was synthesized from 1-phthalimido-3-bromoacetone and Meldrum's acid.
