A process for the preparation of amino carboxylic acids, N-acyl amino carboxylic acids, or derivatives thereof by carboxymethylation of an amide, amide precursor or amide source compound in the presence of a carboxymethylation catalyst precursor and a promoter is provided. A carboxymethylation reaction mixture is formed by introducing a promoter, an amide, amide precursor or amide source compound, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, an aldehyde or aldehyde source compound, and a carboxymethylation catalyst precursor into a carboxymethylation reaction zone. In a preferred embodiment, the promoter is a supported noble metal promoter. In another preferred embodiment, the amide compound and aldehyde are selected to yield an N-acyl amino carboxylic acid which is readily converted to N-phosphonomethyl)glycine, or a salt or ester thereof.
本发明提供了一种通过在存在羧甲基化催化剂前体和促进剂的情况下对酰胺、酰胺前体或酰胺源化合物进行羧甲基化制备氨基羧酸、N-酰基氨基羧酸或其衍生物的方法。通过将促进剂、酰胺、酰胺前体或酰胺源化合物、一氧化碳、氢、醛或醛源化合物和羧甲基化催化剂前体引入羧甲基化反应区域形成羧甲基化反应混合物。在一种优选实施方式中,促进剂是支持的贵金属促进剂。在另一种优选实施方式中,所选择的酰胺化合物和醛可产生易于转化为(N-磷酸甲基)甘氨酸或其盐或酯的N-酰基氨基羧酸。
