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 (10.8 g, 0.60 mole), acetic acid (16.8 g, 0.28 mole, 0.19 g/mL of DME), 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. This mixture was heated to 125° C. for 30 min. HPLC analysis of this stream indicated a 91% yield of (XVI), 1% (XIV), and 3% (XVIII).
