API Intermediate Description: (R)-2-Amino-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide is a key, immediate precursor used in the synthesis of the anticonvulsant drug Lacosamide. It is acetylated, typically using acetic anhydride in the presence of a base (like triethylamine) and solvent (dichloromethane), to convert the amino group into the acetamido group, yielding (R)-Lacosamide with high chiral purity.
