Electrosynthesis of Amino Acids from a Molybdenum Nitride via Nitrogen-Carbon and Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation Reactions involving Imides and Nitrogen Ylides: X-Ray Structure of trans-*CH2Cl2

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39920001762

Sequential nitrogen-carbon and carbon-carbon bond formation, and an electrochemical Mo-N bond cleavage step, define a pathway to methyl esters of the amino acids glycine and alanine from the molybdenum nitride trans-, a key intermediate being the metallo-nitrogen ylide trans-, the structure of which has been determined crystallographically.
