A simple and mild method for the N-formylation of α-amino esters is described via an intermediate oxaziridine. This procedure avoids the necessity of specific formylating agents and yields the N-formyl species in high yield and without racemization.

An important class of organoselenium compounds-α-isoselenocyanato esters 4 hasbeen prepared by a reaction of α-isocyano esters with elemental selenium powder. The reaction issimple, rapid and all the isoselenocyanates havebeen isolated as stable ones after chromatographic purification. These hitherto unreported classes of molecules would be useful building blocks for the preparation of variety of selenium containing peptidomimetics. In this study, the utility of the title molecules in the preparation of selenoureidopeptidomimetics 6, unsymmetrical selenoureas 8 and selenohydantoins 10 isdemonstrated.
