Oxidative Decarboxylation of α-Amino Acids with in situ Generated Dimethyl Dioxirane

All articles of this category Oxidative decarboxylation of α-amino acids with acetonepotassium peroxymonosulfate (Oxone ® ) is described. The reaction represents the first example of oxidative decarboxylation of an α-amino acid RCH(NH 2 )COOH in which a product other than an aldehyde RCHO or a carboxylic acid RCOOH has been isolated as the major component.
