while phenylalanine might sound like a pricey (~2$/g) precursor to phenylacetic acid it seems in theory that the ease of conversion might make suitable for those interested in creating small amounts of phenylacetic acid.
i was wondering how well oxidative deamination with nitrous acid would work for producing 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-propanoic acid?
the other possibile and unwanted outcome being that the diazonium would decompose by eliminating a proton from the benzyl carbon and givie cinnamic acid before water could nucleophilicly add to the 2 carbon.
if this succeded in giving the 2 hydroxy species, is there any convient and perhaps more mild way to oxidize it besides permanganate?
im not very familiar with the chemistry of alpha-hydroxy acids and google seems to just want to give skin care products or complex biochemistry when anything invlving alpha-hydroxy acids is searched
