Abstract

Cobalt oxide-supported gold-nanoparticles-catalyzed transformation of aldehydes and their equivalents to N-acyl-α-amino acids was achieved. The desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields under milder reaction conditions than previous reports employing octacarbonyldicobalt as a catalyst.
