Reaction Conditions:

with thionyl chloride in ethanol;dichloromethane;water;N,N-dimethyl-formamide

Steps:

1.A Step A
Step A Synthesis of Iminodiacetic Acid Diethyl Ester A stirred solution of 931.0 grams (7.0 moles) of iminodiacetic acid and 1.0 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide in 5.25 liters of ethanol was cooled to 12° C. During a 1.5 hour period 2,100 grams (17.65 moles) of thionyl chloride was added dropwise to the cold solution. After complete addition the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for three hours, at reflux for two hours, then allowed to stand at room temperature for approximately 16 hours. The mixture was distilled at reduced pressure to remove 4.0 liters of ethanol leaving a liquid residue. The residue was dissolved in 4.0 liters of methylene chloride, then extracted with 3.5 liters of an aqueous 20% sodium carbonate solution. The aqueous extract was back washed with 1.0 liter of methylene chloride. The organic phases were combined, washed with 1.0 liter of water and evaporated under reduced pressure to leave a liquid. The liquid was purified by distillation under reduced pressure to yield 880.0 grams of iminodiacetic acid diethyl ester (b.p. 123° C./4.5 mmHg).
