Abstract
Oxidative degradations of β and γ-amino acids by contact glow discharge electrolysis (CGDE) were carried out. It was found that stepwise oxidative reactions proceeded during the reactions. Applying the unusual and powerful oxidation method, several hydroxyamino acids and amino alcohols were oxidized and the time courses of the amino acid formation reactions were studied. Aliphatic amines were also oxidized to the corresponding amino acids.
