Catalytic activity of some bifunctional compounds on the hydrolysis of a nitrile group; a new effective method for hydrolysis of α-aminophenylacetonitrile to phenylglycinamide
Abstract
Various bifunctional compounds, 2-mercaptoethanol, glutathione, cysteine, and ethane-1,2-dithiol showed catalytic activity on the hydrolysis of the nitrile group of α-aminophenylacetonitrile.
