Tetra- and pentapeptides of α-methylalanine give with PCl5, SOCl2 etc. intermediates which, with or without loss of amino adds, lead to bi- and tricyclic products containing imidazole and piperazine rings through different routes.
This paper describes the synthesis of deuterium-labeledhydroxybupropion. Mass spectrometry analysis of the compound revealed over 98% deuterium enrichment.

The assembly of dually reactive, well-defined diblock copolymers incorporating the chemoselective/functional monomer, 4,4-dimethyl-2-vinylazlactone (VDMA) and the surface-reactive monomer glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is examined to understand how competition between surface attachment and microphase segregation influences interfacial structure. Reaction of the PGMA block with surface hydroxyl groups not only anchors the copolymer to the surface, but limits chain mobility, creating brush-like structures comprising PVDMA blocks, which contain reactive azlactone groups. The block copolymers are spin coated at various solution concentrations and annealed at elevated temperature to optimize film deposition to achieve a molecularly uniform layer. The thickness and structure of the polymer thin films are investigated by ellipsometry, infrared spectroscopy, and neutron reflectometry. The results show that deposition of PGMA-b-PVDMA provides a useful route to control film thickness while preserving azlactone groups that can be further modified with biotin-poly(ethylene glycol)amine to generate designer surfaces. The method described herein offers guidance for creating highly functional surfaces, films, or coatings through the use of dually reactive block copolymers and postpolymerization modification.

We present the use of H-2 magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR on methyl-deuterated a-amino isobutyric acid (Aib) as a new method to obtain fast and accurate structural constraints on peptailbols in membrane-bound environments. Using nonoriented vesicle-reconstituted samples we avoid the delicate preparation of oriented samples, and the use of MAS ensures high sensitivity and thereby very fast acquisition of experimental spectra. Furthermore, given the high content (similar to 40%) of Aib in peptaibols and the fact that the amino acid Aib may be synthesized from cheap starting materials, even in the case of H-2, C-13, or N-15 labeling, this method is ideally suited for studies of the membrane-bound conformation of peptailbols.
