Reaction Steps

A 300 mL autoclave was charged with acetamide (VII) (11.8 g, 0.2 mole), 95% paraformaldehyde (13.6 g, 0.43 mole), water (12.9 g, 0.72 mole), DME (90 mL), and Co2(CO)8 (4.1 g, 0.012 mole) and pressurized to 1500 psi (10,345 kPa) CO:H2 (95:5) at 25° C. for 30 min. HPLC analysis of this stream gave an 89% yield of (XVI), 1% (XIV), and 8% (XVIII).
