Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 2-thionoxazolidone-5 and derivatives thereof is disclosed wherein tertiary alkyl esters of secondary amino carboxylic acid or the N-thiocarbonyl chloride of an Alpha -secondary aminocarboxylic acid is subjected to the action of a proton yielding acid. The compounds produced by the process of this invention are useful as amino acid derivatives in the synthesis of peptides.
Abstract:
A process for preparing aspartyl Alpha -amino acid lower alkyl esters is disclosed, wherein an N-protected aspartic acid anhdyride is reacted with an Alpha -amino acid lower alkyl ester at a temperature of about -10 to +50 *C, and at a pH of 4-12, in an aqueous solvent. After the reaction, the N-protective group is removed to produce the desired aspartyl Alpha -amino acid lower alkyl ester which has a peptide linkage. Many of the products produced by the present invention are useful as sweetening agents, as well as starting materials in the synthesis of polypeptides, e.g. gastrine.
Abstract:
A process for preparing optically active methionine, methionine nitrile, and methionine amide is disclosed. A mixture of L- and D-methionine nitrile is at least partially converted to a salt of optically active Alpha -phenoxypropionic acid, and the resulting salt is subjected to optical separation by crystallization. The resultant optically active methionine nitrile may be converted into methionine or methionine amide. Optically active methionine or methionine amide is useful as a food and feed supplement.
Abstract:
(8) AE 3691 The invention relates to a process for the preparation of .alpha.-amino-.alpha.-methylcarboxylic acid amides and .alpha.-amino-.alpha.-cycloalkyl-carboxylic acid amides of the formula: where R1 represents alkyl, alkaryl, aryl, alkenyl, heteroalkyl or heteroaryl, whether or not substituted, R2 is methyl, or forms, together with R1, a cycloalkyl group, by conversion of the corresponding amino nitriles using hydrogen peroxide under basic conditions and is characterized in that the conversion takes place in the presence of ammonia. By preference 2-6 moles hydrogen peroxide and 3-12 moles ammonia are used per mole amino nitrile.
Abstract:
Novel sweetener compounds having the formula: Formula I wherein M represents hydrogen, ammonium, alkali or alkaline earth, R represents R1 represents methyl, ethyl, propyl, R2 represents -OH, or OCH3, * signifies an L-optical configuration for this atom.
Abstract:
1 2946 Process for the preparation of DL-phenylglycine amide, whereby L-phenylglycine by-product is converted into an ester with an alcohol. The ester is then racemized in the presence of a concentrated strong acid, and the resulting DL-ester is converted into DL-phenylglycine amide.
Abstract:
Process for the resolution of DL-phenyl glycine amide through selective enzymatic hydrolysis with amino peptidase especially leucine amino peptidase.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the separation of a mixture of an optically active .alpha.-phenylglycine amide and the corresponding optically active .alpha.-phenylglyclne acid, through the formation of a novel Schiff base of at least the amide, and achieving the separation with the resulting solubility differences while substantially completely avoiding racemization.
