    Abstract: A two phase sprayer and process are disclosed in which the sprayer has a liquid supply tube surrounded by a coaxial gas or gas mixture supply tube which extends beyond the length of the liquid supply tube where the gas flow surrounds and atomizes the expelled liquid. The sprayer has a unique structure in part characterized by a narrowed taper gas supply tube which converges towards the outlet at an angle of 70.degree.-90.degree. with respect to the sprayer axis. The internally-positioned, coaxial liquid supply tube is chamfered also at a similar 70.degree.-90.degree. angle, the gas and liquid tubes at their outlet being essentially parallel.The joint of the narrowing part of the gas tube and the outflow channel is rounded.These sprayers efficiently spray relatively large amounts of liquid at low gas velocities and are particularly adapted for spraying a mixture of urea and ammonia into a bed of reactive, fluidized particles to form melamine without destroying desirable features of the fluidized bed into which the urea/ammonia mixture is sprayed.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the racemization of optically active phenyl glycine amide with or without a substituted phenyl group by heating the opticaly active phenyl glycine amide in a solvent in the presence of a ketone and of an acid having a dissociation constant below 1.8 .times. 10.sup.-4.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe resolution of a mixture of D- and L-phenyl glycine amide by means of an optically active acid is described in my co-pending U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 623,928, filed Oct. 20, 1975, and now U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,852 and Ser. No. 733,851, filed Oct. 19, 1976. An improved process for the resolution of a mixture of D- and L-phenyl glycine amide by means of an optically active acid is described in my co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 748,399 filed concurrently herewith. The entire specification and claims of each of these three patent applications is incorporated by reference in the present specification.The invention relates to a process of racemizing an optically active phenyl glycine amide with or without a substituted phenyl group. The phenyl group may be substituted by a substituent such as a hydroxy, halogen, nitro, or amino group. These substituted optically active phenyl glycine amides can be prepared from the corresponding amino acid by esterification followed by aminolysis of the ester with ammonia as described in the Journal of the American Chemical Soc. vol. 71 (1949) page 78, 79.If desired, the racemized amide can be hydrolyzed to yield the corresponding amino acid again. Phenyl glycine amide can be hydrolyzed in a simple manner to form phenyl glycine, for example, by treatment with sulfuric acid, as described in the Journal of the Chemical Society, pages 393-397 (1966).In the preparation of an optically active phenyl glycine amide from a mixture of D- and L-phenyl glycine amide, both antipodes of the racemate are produced. If unequal amounts of the antipodes are desired, the undesired antipode can be racemized and the resulting racemate subjected to further resolution. As used in the present specification, "a mixture of L- and D-phenyl glycine amide" means either a racemate of phenyl glycine amide, or mixtures of the racemate with either L-phenyl glycine amide or D-phenyl glycine amide.The optically active phenyl glycines which can be easily obtained from the resolved optically active phenyl glycine amides are valuable compounds. For example, D-phenyl glycine is employed as a starting material for the preparation of .alpha.-amino benzyl penicillin. L-phenyl glycine provides a starting material for the sweetening agent L-asparagin-L-phenyl glycine alkyl ester.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccording to the invention, a process has been discovered comprising racemizing an optically active phenyl glycine amide, the phenyl group of which may be substituted, in an accelerated manner. It has been found that the racemization of a optically active phenyl glycine amide can be desirably conducted by heating the optically active phenyl glycine amide to be racemized in a solvent in the presence of a ketone and of an acid having a dissociation constant below 1.8 .times. 10.sup.-4. As used in the present application, it is to be understood that "an optically active phenyl glycine amide" includes both unsubstituted optically active phenyl glycine amide and optically active phenyl glycine amide in which the phenyl group is substituted with, for example, a hydroxy, halogen, nitro or amino group.It is therefore an object of the present invention to racemize an optically active phenyl glycine amide in an accelerated manner.Surprising, it has been found that the object of the present invention can be realized by racemizing an optically active phenyl glycine amide in the presence of a ketone and of an acid having a dissociation constant below 1.8 .times. 10.sup.-4.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe invention is directed to a process of racemizing an optically active phenyl glycine amide, the phenyl group of which may be substituted, in a solvent in the presence of a ketone and of an acid having a dissociation constant below 1.8 .times. 10.sup.-4.Suitable acids are, for example, formic acid and acetic acid. In addition, use may be made of optically active acids e.g. optically active pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid and optically active N-acetyl phenyl glycine. These optically active acids are also suitable for the optical resolution of mixtures of D- and L-phenyl glycine amide, as described in my co-pending applications incorporated herein by reference.In the process of the present invention, preferably a quantity of acid is used which is equivalent to the quantity of phenyl glycine amide. An amount less than an equivalent amount, e.g. half the equivalent amount, of acid can also be used, but in that case undesirable side reactions may occur. A quantity of acid which is in excess of the equivalent of the phenyl glycine amide present may also be used, although there is no particular advantage in using excess acid.The racemizing process of the present invention is preferably effected at a temperature between about 35.degree. and about 150.degree. C. It is preferred to effect the racemizing process of the present invention at a temperature between about 50.degree. and about 100.degree. C.The ketone used in the racemizing process of the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, pentanone, cyclohexanone, and mixtures thereof. It is believed that other ketones will also be operative in the process of the present invention.The amount of ketone used in the process of the present invention may be varied within wide limits. It has been found that a small quantity of ketone, for example 0.1 mole of ketone per mole of phenyl glycine amide is effective in the process of the present invention. Of course, larger amounts of ketone may also be used. If the amount of ketone used is sufficiently large, the ketone can also serve as a solvent for the racemizing mixture. However, it is also contemplated in the process of the present invention that other solvents may be used. For example, water, an alcohol, benzene, toluene, chloroform, and ethyl acetate may also be used as solvents.The process of the present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, which are intended to be illustrative only and are meant to include all techniques equivalent thereto.EXAMPLESEXAMPLE IIn a flask equipped with a stirrer and a reflux cooler a solution of 1.5 g (0.01 gmole) L-phenyl glycine amide and 0.6 ml (0.01 gmole) acetic acid in 20 ml water and 80 ml acetone is boiled for 24 hours (58.degree.

C.After cooling to 20.degree. C the rotation of the resulting solution is measured. It is[.alpha.].sub.D.sup. 20 = 5.05.degree.the rotation of the original solution is[.alpha.].sub.D.sup. 20 = 8.90.degree.comparison of the rotation values shows 44% of the L-phenyl glycine amide to have been racemized.EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISONExample III is repeated, this time without addition of methyl ethyl ketone.After 6 hours' boiling, the rotation of the solution is[.alpha.].sub.D.sup. 20 = 8.40.degree..comparison of the rotation values shows only 6% of the L-phenyl glycine amide to have been racemized.EXAMPLE IVIn a flask equipped with a stirrer and a reflux cooler 4.5 g L-phenyl glycine amide and 3.9 g D-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid in 200 ml methanol and 10 ml acetone is heated at boiling temperature for 25 hours whilst being stirred.After cooling to 20.degree. C, 3 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid (35%-wt.) is added. Next, the reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo (12 mm Hg) at 30.degree. C to a volume of 40 ml. The DL-phenyl glycine amide.HCl formed in this way is recovered on a filter and washed on this filter with 5 ml[.alpha.].sub.D.sup. 20 = +0.4.degree. (c = 0.8; water)In Beilstein 14, III, p. 1189. the specific rotation of L-phenyl glycine amide. HC1 is given as[.alpha.].sub.D.sup. 20 = +100.8.degree. (c = 0.8; water).Comparison of the rotation values shows 99,5% of the L-phenylglycine amide to have been racemized.Thus it is apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the invention, a process for the racemization of optically active phenyl glycine amide that fully satisfies the objects, aims, and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is apparent that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be evident to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the following claims. methanol.
