Abstract

The oxidative decar☐ ylation of α-amino acids using the system (diacetoxyiodo) benzene or iodosylbenzene and iodine proceeded smoothly at room temperature. The intermediacy of anN-acyliminium cation has been demonstrated through intermolecular and intramolecular trapping with nucleophiles.
