Anodic α-Methoxylation of N-Carbomethoxylated or N-Acylated α-Amino Acid Esters and α-Amino β-Lactams

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00156a060

A new practical method of introducing a methoxyl group to the α-position of α-amino acid derivatives and α-amino β-lactams has been exploited by utilizing indirect electrochemical oxidation as a key reaction.
