Acrylic acids and alanines substituted with heteroaryl groups at the β-position were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized (UV, HRMS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy). The heteroaryl groups were furanyl, thiophenyl, benzofuranyl, and benzothiophenyl and contained the alanyl side chains either at the 2- or 3-positions. While the former are good substrates for phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), the latter compounds are inhibitors. Exceptions are thiophen-3-yl-alanine, a moderate substrate and furan-3-yl-alanine, which is inert. Possible reasons for these exceptions are discussed. Starting from racemic het eroaryl-2-alanines their D-enantiomers were prepared by using a stereodestructive procedure. From the heteroaryl-2- acrylates, the L-enantiomers of the heteroaryl-2-alanines were prepared at high ammonia concentration. These results can be best explained by a Friedel - Crafts-type electrophilic attack at the aromatic part of the substrates as the initial step of the PAL reaction.

Process for the biotechnological preparation of L-thienylalanines in enantiomerically pure form from 2-hydroxy-3-thienylacrylic acids, and their use. L-Thienylalanines are prepared via the hydantoin or the azlactone route. The starting substances used for the biotransformation are 2-hydroxy-3-thienylacrylic acids. The innovative step consists in the transamination of the enol form of the 2-hydroxy-3-thienylacrylic acids to give L-thienylalanines with the aid of biotransformation. The transaminiation is carried out in the presence of L-aspartic acid or L-glutamic acid as amino donor.

L-Thienylalanines were prepared via the hydantoin and azlactone routes with the key step consisting of the microbial transamination of 2-hydroxy-3-thienylacrylic with L-aspartic acid as amino donor.The transamination reaction was performed by a genetically engineered E. coli strain on scales up to 100 g of L-3-(2-thienyl)alanine 1a and is also applicable to the preparation of the isomeric amino acid 1b and some ring-substituted derivatives.
