HYDROLYTIC PATHWAYS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF Α-AMINO ACIDS FROM Α-AMINONITRILES

Abstract
Background: Amino acids are essential biomolecules, and the synthesis of α-amino acids from α-aminonitriles has attracted significant interest in medicinal chemistry, biotechnology, and green chemistry. This work focuses on hydrolytic pathways including classical acidic, alkaline, and catalytic methods.
Keywords
