Eleven kinds of 5-alkylamides of L-and DL-glutamic acid were synthesized and assessed for anticonvulsant effects. Against lethal convulsion induced by caffeine, maximum efficacy was observed with alkylamides possessing C7 to C8 alkyl radicals in the position 5 of glutamic acid, and the compounds having C5 to C7 alkyl groups were shown to have the highest toxity. Differences in the response between L-compound and DL-compound are not significant. Synthesized ω-alkylamides of L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and DL-2-aminoadipic acid did neither increase nor decrease the oxygen consumption by the rat brain cortex slices.

Provided are a novel N-transfer reagent and a method for preparing the same and its application. The N-transfer reagent is represented by the following Formula (I):
The various novel N-transfer reagents of the present invention can be quickly prepared by employing different nitrobenzene precursors. The N-transfer reagents can directly convert a variety of amino compounds into diazo compounds under mild conditions. Particularly, the N-transfer reagents can facilitate the synthesis of the diazo compounds. The application of synthesizing diazo compounds of the present invention can greatly decrease the difficulty in operation, increase the safety during experiments, reduce the cost of production and the environmental pollution, and enhance the industrial value of diazo compounds.
A simple and convenient, high yield synthesis of Ï-esters of aspartic as well as glutamic acid has been developed, using tetrafluoroboric acid as catalyst. 13C-NMR data of the products are given.
