An improved synthesis of the antithyroid factor DL-goitrin

article
DL-1-Amino-3-buten-2-ol HH2CCH-CH(OH)-CH2NH2 has been synthesized in a satisfactory overall yield by reduction of the protected cyanohydrin H2CCH-CH(OR)-CN [R = -CH(CH3)OC2H5] with aluminum hydride, followed by removal of the protecting group with aqueous hydrochloric acid and treatment with potassium hydroxide. The amino alcohol is a key intermediate in a synthesis of the antithyroid factor goitrin reported previously.
