Abstract

The preparation of d, l-phenylalanine via amidocarbonylation of benzyl chloride with acetamide and CO/H2 is described. The rate of the reaction is dependent upon the CO pressure below 250 bar, but independent of the hydrogen pressure. A reaction temperature of 100° C gives optimum yields. A relatively large amount of the catalyst, Co2 (CO) 8, is needed for complete conversion because of inhibition caused by hydrogen chloride which ...
