Best Answer

Use anhydrous Lactic acid near boiling point

Pass anhydrous Hydrogen chloride gas through it until no further increase in mass is found. This converts lactic acid into 2chloropropanoic acid.

Substitute NH2 group, either by reaction with sodamide OR by actrion of ammonia gas. First method preferred as second method produces the amide at the same time and this has to be hydrolyzed to free the desired product.
