Process for synthesis of glumatic acid from acrylate, amide and synthesis gas.

摘要

A process for the synthesis of glutamic acid intermediate from an acrylate, amide and carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting them in the presence of a catalyst comprising a cobalt-containing compound, a bis-phosphine ligand and a solvent at a pressure of at least 500 psi and a temerpature of at least 25 DEG C and thereafter extracting the glutamic acid.
