Acetamide → Benzyl Alcohol

温度

250 °C

0.10 mol of 2-(benzylthio)acetaldehyde and 0.20 mol of acetamide are heated together at 100° C. with stirring, and the product solid is heated in a sublimator at 250° C. and 1 mm Hg until formation of the enamide 1-acetamido-2-benzylthioethene is complete. A 70 mL stainless steel high pressure reactor fitted with a Pyrex glass liner and magnetic stir bar is charged with THF (5 mL), D-menthol (0.5 mmol), (PPh3)2PdCl2 (36 mg, 0.05 mmol), and 1-acetamido-2-benzylthioethene (0.5 mmol). The reactor is sealed, pressurized to 1000 psig with CO, and stirred for 24 hours at 100° C. The product mixture, isolated after removal of gas from the reactor vessel, contains a mixture of two diastereomeric cysteine derivatives, N-acetyl-L-benzylcysteine D-menthyl ester and N-acetyl-D-benzylcysteine D-menthyl ester. These diastereomers are separated by column chromatography on silica gel with benzene-ethyl acetate eluent and are separately hydrolyzed by heating to 100° C. in 1N HCl for 2 hours to give pure L- and D-cysteine, benzyl alcohol, acetic acid, and D-menthol, which is thereafter recycled to a repeat of the foregoing hydrocarboxylation reaction.
