Lecture 32 : Amino Acids

For example:

Scheme 11

The amino group can also be introduced by Gabriel procedure to give better yield compared to that of the above described reaction with ammonia as an aminating agent (Scheme 12).

Scheme 12

The amino group can also readily be introduced via nitrosation followed by reduction and hydrolysis processes (Scheme 13).
