چکیده
Starting with 35 grams of ethyl aminoacetate we recovered practically one-half of the aminoacid ester in the form of its hydrochloride, and obtained 19 grams of the isothiocyanacetate. This reaction isbeing investigated further and will be applied for the preparation of other new types of polyketide mustard oils. If this method of synthesis finds as wide an application as we anticipate, it will enable us to obtain several isothiocyanates of new types, which should be of great biochemical interest.

Future studies should address the relationship among decision space, capacities, and health system performance.
