Synthesis of α-amino dithioesters and endothiodipeptides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/prac.19963380150

The α-amino ester hydrochlorides (1) are converted into N-protected α-amino amides (3), α-amino thioamides (4) and α-amino dithiomethylesters (5). Condensation of 5 with the alkali salts of α-amino acids gives rise to the endothiodipeptide alkali salts (7). Johann Ambrosius Barth 1996.
