Abstract

The invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of N-carboxyanhydrides by reaction of the corresponding amino acid or one of its salts with phosgene, diphosgene and/or triphosgene in a solvent medium, characterized in that at least a portion of the reaction is carried out under a pressure of less than 1000 mbar. The N-carboxyanhydrides are thus obtained with better yields and an improved purity.
