Abstract
In alkaline and acidic media, N-acetylaminocinnamic acid is found to r educe on metals with a high hydrogen overvoltage, yielding N-acetylphe nylalanine. The effects of the cathode material, current density, and temperature on the reduction are studied. The conditions are found und er which the yield and current efficiency of N-acetylphenylalanine are 89 and 65%, respectively. The procedure developed is applicable for t he preparative-scale purposes.
