A process of making Ν,Ν'-diacetyl-L-Cystine disodium salt, the process comprising: (i) Mixing hydroxy alkane (between 0.5-100L, preferably between 0.5-10L, more preferably between 1-3L, most preferably 1 L per mol of cystine) with a sodium base (4.0 molar equivalents per mole of cystine) to form a cold solution at a temperature of from 5 to 10°C; (ii) Adding cystine (1 molar equivalent) to said cold solution and stirring, for a sufficient time, to form a basic cystine solution; (iii) Optionally, Cooling the cystine solution to 5°C; (iv) Adding acetyl chloride (2 molar equivalents per mole of cystine) portionwise, while maintaining the temperature between 3 and 50 °C, preferably between 5 and 35 °C, more preferably below 10°C, most preferably 5°C, thereby resulting in a white suspension; (v) Stirring said white suspension and allowing said suspension to warm up to a room temperature of 15°C to 50°C, preferably 20°C to 35°C, more preferably 20°C, thereby resulting in Ν,Ν'-diacetyl-L-Cystine disodium salt product dissolved in solution and sodium chloride by-product precipitated solid in said suspension. The present description discloses an exemplary process on a small laboratory scale (500 mg cystine educt; 688 mg product; 90% yield) (page 16; example 1).
