METHOD OF 4-BORONOPHENYLALANINE PRODUCTION
-
Paragraph 0039, (2019/09/12)
The present invention relates to a method of production of 4-boronophenylalanine (BPA) from 4-iodophenylalanine, in which all the functional groups of the amino acid are protected by benzyl protection method, and which uses isopropyl magnesium halogenide stabilized by a complexation base, and subsequent condensation of the resulting Grignard reagent with a boric acid ester. The final reaction step, catalytic hydrogenolysis or transfer hydrogenolysis of protecting groups on the amino acid, occurs after hydrolysis of the boronate ester groups.
