Yd. Smirnov et Ap. Tomilov, SINGLE-STAGE ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF DL-ALPHA-PHENYLETHYLAMINE FROM ACETOPHENONE, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 68(11), 1995, pp. 1678-1679
The possibility of obtaining alpha-phenylethylamine by electrolysis of
acetophenone-hydroxylamine mixture in electrolyte solution were demon
strated. The yield of the target product is 85% based on the acetophen
one used in the reaction.
