Facile synthesis of N-acetylglycine from chitin-derived N-acetylmonoethanolamine

The effective conversion of renewable chitin and its derivatives to organonitrogen chemicals is of significance. N-acetylmonoethanolamine (NMEA) is a compound that can be produced from N-acetylglucosamine (NAG, the monomer of chitin) via successive retro-aldol and hydrogenation reactions. Here we re...
