Synthesis of S-trifluoromethyl-containing α-amino acids from sodiumtrifluoromethanesulfinate and dithio-amino acids
摘要:
N-Protonated or N-acetylated dimethyl cystinates and homocystinates react with sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate and t-butyl hydroperoxide to yield the corresponding derivatives of methyl S-trifluoromethyl cysteinate and homocysteinate in a stereospecific manner. Methyl S-trifluoromethyl-N-acetyl cysteinate and homocysteinate are readily saponified, without racemization, by sodium hydrogen carbonate in a water/methanol mixture.
