Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 22 different amino acids and they can combine in a myriad ways to form a vast array of proteins. All amino acids except glycine are chiral ...

Strecker synthesis is one of several means of producing α-amino acids. α-amino acids are molecules, which contain an amine and carboxylic group that are separated by a single carbon (the α-carbon).

The asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrins and α-aminonitriles occupies a central position in modern organic chemistry owing to the wide utility of these motifs as chiral building blocks for ...
