Usage

General Description

(S)-Butyl 2-aminopropanoate, also known as N-Butylalanine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H15NO2. It is an ester of butyl alcohol and 2-aminopropanoic acid. (S)-Butyl 2-aMinopropanoate is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sweet odor, and it is commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is known to have a faint ammonia-like odor and is considered to be slightly soluble in water. (S)-Butyl 2-aminopropanoate is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products.

A mild removal of Fmoc group using sodium azide

A mild method for effectively removing the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group using sodium azide was developed. Without base, sodium azide completely deprotected Nα-Fmoc-amino acids in hours. The solvent-dependent conditions were carefully studied and then optimized by screening different sodium azide amounts and reaction temperatures. A variety of Fmoc-protected amino acids containing residues masked with different protecting groups were efficiently and selectively deprotected by the optimized reaction. Finally, a biologically significant hexapeptide, angiotensin IV, was successfully synthesized by solid phase peptide synthesis using the developed sodium azide method for all Fmoc removals. The base-free condition provides a complement method for Fmoc deprotection in peptide chemistry and modern organic synthesis. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Preparation of 2,3,4-trisubstituted piperidines by a formal hetero-ene reaction of amino acid derivatives

N-Benzyl- or N-tosyl-N-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)amino aldehyde benzylimines, which are obtained from alanine, leucine, or phenylalanine methyl esters in five steps, can be cyclized diastereoselectively in the presence of Lewis acids to give 3-amino-2,4-dialkyl-substituted piperidines. The product distribution and diastereoselectivity depends on the type of Lewis acid and nitrogen-protecting group. Benzyl-protected imines give 2-alkyl-3-(benzylamino)-4-isopropenyl piperidines with FeCl3 and 2-alkyl-3-(benzylideneamino)-4-isopropylpiperidines with TiCl4. Tosyl-protected imines show a decreased level of selectivity. The relative configurations of the piperidines were established by NMR and X-ray crystal structure analyses. Iminium ion cyclization followed by two competitive ionic pathways, i.e. either proton elimination or hydride transfer are discussed for these reactions.
