Abstract

Conclusion The mechanisms of oxidative decarboxylation of amino acids promoted by NBS have been shown to be significantly influenced by the presence of alkyl groups at the a- carbon. It will be interesting to see if this effect extends to other amino acids and to oxidizing agents other than NBS. It has been shown that the proton inventory tech-nique can provide considerable information about the mechanisms of such oxidative decarboxylation ...
