(2S)-Methionine methylsulfonium iodide (9.4 g, 32.3 mmol) was dissolved in water (30 mL) in a three-necked round-bottom flask and heated to reflux. Sodium bicarbonate (2.71 g, 32.3 mmol) was dissolved in water (40 mL), placed in a dropping funnel and added dropwise to the reaction mixture until the pH of the solution rose to 5.0 (monitored using a VWR symphony SB20 pH meter). The reaction was allowed to proceed until the pH dropped to 2.0 (~ 15 min), whereupon base was added as previously described (addition over 6 h). The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir with heating at reflux for 12 h before being cooled, transferred to a 50 mL round-bottom flask and concentrated to give a clear oil. The oil was dissolved in water (5 mL) and ethanol (10 mL), and treated with acetone (150 mL) to produce a white precipitate that was collected by filtration. The precipitate was dissolved in water (20 mL) and freeze-dried, giving (S)-2-amino-4-hydroxybutyric acid (2S)-9 as a white solid (3.55 g, 92%).
