Nitrous acid `(HNO_(2))` converts amino acids into hydroxy acids with retention of configuration. Estimation of nitrogen gas evolved in the reaction is the basis of Van slyke estimation of amino acids.
`R-overset(overset(NH_(2))(|))(CH)-COOH overset(HNO_(2))rarr R- overset(overset(OH)(|))(CH)-COOH + N_(2) uarr +H_(2)O`

only I

B

Only II

C

I & III

D

I,III,IV
