Abstract

Abstract Anchimerically assisted rearrangement, observed in the fluorination of some α- amino acids with 70: 30 (w/w) hydrogen fluoride/pyridine (by weight) in the presence of NaNO 2, is substantially or fully suppressed by using the less acidic reagent 48: 52 (w/w) hydrogen fluoride/pyridine.
