ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of N-acyl derivatives of 5-aminolevulinic acid of general formula R-CO-NH-CH.sub.2 -CO-CH.sub.2 -CH.sub.2 -COOH, in which R stands for methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, phenyl, benzyl, furyl or furfuryl, as well as the hydrochloride of the free acid by acid hydrolysis, characterized in that the 5-hydroxymethyl furfural is condensed with a nitrile in acid solution and the N-acyl-aminomethyl furfural compound obtained is converted by photooxidation into a N-acyl-5-aminomethyl-5-hydroxydihydro-2,5-furan-2-one and the latter is reduced with zinc in acetic acid under ultrasonic treatment to N-acyl-5-aminolevulinic acid and by acid hydrolysis the 5-aminolevulinic hydrochloride is obtained.
