Abstract
The oxidative decarboxylation of cr-amino acids using the system (diacetoxy iodo)benzene or iodosylbenzene and iodine proceeded smoothly at room temper ature. The intermediacy of an N-acyliminium cation has been demonstrated th rough intermolecular and intramolecular trapping with nucleophiles. (C) 199 9 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
