18. L-Valine was a superior acyloxy group to other amino acids in the present substrate. The use of L-phenylalanine gave a 10:1 mixture of (5S)- and (5R)-α-amino nitrile in 60% yield.
19. An intermediary cyclic imine was isolated in a small amount, presumably, because of elimination of HCN from the products.
