Oxidative decarboxylation of α-amino acids to nitriles using o-iodoxybenzoic acid in aqueous ammonia
Abstract:
Formation of the nitrile was the outcome of the investigation of biochemically significant oxidative decarboxylation of amino acids using o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) in aqueous ammonia system.
