Abstract
It became questionable that Dechamps, et al.8) obtained carnitine-carnitate (IV) in their hands as the hydrolysis product of carnitine-nitrile chloride (II), since in our hands the latter, when heated with conc. hydrochloric acid at 130°, yielded mainly apocarnitine hydrochloride (V) containing a certain amount of carnitine hydrochloride (III). By carrying out the hydrolysis of (II) at boiling water-bath temperature the formation of (V) was practically suppressed to give (III) in a satisfactory yield, the formation of (IV) was altogether not observed.
