The reaction of [I,I-bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene with -(benzyloxycarbonyl)-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxamide

The treatment of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxamide with [I,I-bis(trifluoroacetyl)iodo]benzene caused cleavage of the cyclopropane ring with the formation of a β-alaninamide derivative.
