An Expedient Route to the Tetrazole Analogues of α-Amino Acids
摘要:
[GRAPHIC]Convenient conditions are described for the transformation of alpha-aminonitriles to the tetrazole analogues of alpha-amino acids. Refluxing the starting material in water/2-propanol at 80 degreesC with sodium azide and catalytic zinc bromide affords the tetrazole product in yields generally exceeding 90%.
A new compound exhibiting particularly advantageous antibacterial properties, and having the structural formula:
L-pyroglutamyl-L-1-aminoethyltetrazole (or N-(1-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide). Also, the use of this compound in microbiological culture methods and media intended for the detection, identification, enrichment, counting and/or isolation of target microorganisms that may be encountered in samples taken for clinical diagnosis or microbiological health control purposes.
