Abstract

The amidation of benzyl alcohol was carried out in supercritical water at 400 ºC and at pressure 22 MPa for 1 hour. The replacement of the hydroxyl group with the amino group was found to proceed in benzyl alcohol using ammonium acetate in supercritical water without the addition of any catalyst. The final product N-benzalacetamide was identified by GC-MS spectroscopy.
