-
, (2008/06/13)
Certain α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl)-α-aminoacetonitriles are prepared by treating the appropriate α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl) ketimine magnesium halide with hydrogen cyanide or with an alkali metal cyanide or ammonium cyanide and a proton source. The products are useful as intermediates for making α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl)-α-amino acids having pharmacological activity.
