Nickel peroxide as a glycine-selective chemical model of peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase
Abstract
In a process, which is analogous to that catalysed by peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase, nickel peroxide cleaves N-benzoylamino acid methyl esters to give benzamide, with a selectivity for reaction of the glycine derivative.
