Solid phase reduction of oxazolones using BER-Ni2B-A simple synthesis of N-benzoylphenylalanines

Borohydride exchange resin (BER)-Ni2B is successfully used as a reagent for the solid phase reduction of the C-4 exocyclic double bond of oxazolones to give the N-benzoylphenylalanines and hence the corresponding amino acids.

Photochemical alkylation of glycine leading to phenylalanines

UV photolysis of protected glycines in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide, benzophenone and substituted toluenes is shown to lead to selective alkylation at the α-position. Phenylalanines are isolated in yields of generally > 50% (based on recovered s
