Abstract

A novel reaction involving in situ redox conversion of glyoxylate esters to glycine is described. Simple starting materials and mild conditions for the synthesis of glycine derivatives probably indicate a pathway towards prebiotic chemistry. This proceeds analogous to Cannizzaro reaction involving ammonia therefore it can be termed as intramolecular Aza-Cannizzaro type reaction. This reaction is examined in detail with an aid of computational analysis to corroborate the proposed mechanism.
