25. This ionization suggests 2a is better considered as an intermediate in an ionic oxidative addition, rather than a formal oxidative addition product.

27. The use of phenoxyamides 1 also obviates the need for a second step of addition of alcohols to the in situ generated münchnone (ref 9a), making this an operationally more straightforward amino acid synthesis.
