Asymmetric Synthesis of Alanine by Catalytic Hydrogenation of Chiral Nα-Acetyldehydroalaninamides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.57.1427

Asymmetric hydrogenation of chiral N^α-acetyldehydroalaninamides was studied.The asymmetric yield of the resulting alanine was in the range 0-24percent.The effects of reaction temperature, solvent polarity and asymmetric moieties on the asymmetric yields were examined.
