Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons from pyrolysis of phenylalanine and phenylalanine-tryptophan and phenylalanine-pyrrole mixtures
Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky USA
Phenylalanine was pyrolyzed over the range 450° to 950° and equimolar mixtures of phenylalanine-tryptophan and phenylalanine-pyrrole were pyrolyzed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 850° was the optimum temperature for the formation of polynuclear aromatic...
