Aldehyde Amide N-acyl aminoacid
5. Synthetic applications of N-Ac
amino acids
• Surface active agents
• Speciality chemicals in the use of
sarcosinates
• Intermediates for sweetners like
aspartame®
• Food additives, e.g. glutamic acid
• Chelating agents
6. Conventional routes in amino
acid synthesis
• Fermentation
- Corynbacterium, Bacillus etc.
• Enzymatic separation
- racemic resolved using acylases
• Extraction
- swine bristles, horn chips, blood meal etc.
• Synthetic methods like Strecker reaction
7. Advantages of
amidocarbonylation reaction
• Synthesis of natural and non-natural amino
acids
• Avoids use of toxic HCN and ammonia
• Environmentally safe and benign route
• Atom economy is 100 %
8. Historical development in
amidocarbonylation reaction
• Stern et al. (1981)- carried out amidocarbonylation
of olefins first time
• Ojima and co-workers (1985)- allylic alcohols,
oxiranes and TFP amidocarbonylation using
bimetallic catalysts
• Lin and Knifton (1991)- Use of ligands in
amidocarbonylation of olefins and aldehydes
• de Vries et al.(1996)- amidocarbonylation of
Benzyl chloride
• Beller group (1997)- highly active Pd catalyst
system
10. Aldehyde amidocarbonylation
reaction- An overview
• Co catalyzed amidocarbonylation
- Ligands effect studies
- Strong acids (pKa< 3) like p-TSA, TFSA
- Two stage process developed by Hoechst AG
• Pd catalyzed amidocarbonylation
- Milder reaction conditions
- strong acids and halide co-catalyst
- TON of 60000 for N-Ac leucin
- Use of heterogenised catalyst
17. Conventional methods in
arylamines synthesis
• Ullmann condensation reaction
• Nucleophilic substitution of aryl halides
• Nitration of aryls and reduction route

19. Advantages of reductive
amination of phenol
• Avoids use of corrosive and toxic halides
• Stoichiometric amount of base is avoided
• Environmentally safer reaction and only
water formed as by-product
23. Summary of the work-done
• Reproduced amidocarbonylation reaction with
different aldehydes
• Isolated products and confirmed by GC-MS etc.
• Isolated yield was found to be more than 90% for
propionaldehyde reaction in few repeated
reactions
• 5% Pd/C is highly active and selective catalyst for
reductive amination
• Other catalysts show low conversion and high
selectivity to by-products
24. Plan of work for next year
• To study the effect of parameters on
amidocarbonylation reaction of
propionaldehyde and acetamide
• Detail kinetic investigation for
amidocarbonylation reaction
• Screening of catalysts in reductive
amination
