“…Past experimental and theoretical studies of Strecker synthesis have detailed the effects of physiochemical conditions on its reaction mechanism and kinetics (Ogata and Kawasaki, 1971;Van Trump, 1975;Miller and Van Trump, 1981;Moutou et al, 1995;Atherton et al, 2004;Yamabe et al, 2014;Magrino et al, 2021). These studies show that Strecker synthesis occurs in the aqueous phase, at basic or acidic pH, and has a water-dependent hydrolysis step (Van Trump, 1975;Moutou et al, 1995).…”
