Mixed diesters, omega-amide and omega-thioesters are obtained from both N-Boc ethyl pyroglutamate and pyroaminoadipate under neutral or basic conditions.Under neutral conditions, the reaction is catalyzed by KCN and the use of Ultrasound speeds up the process. In basic conditions, reaction times are even shorter. In both cases, no transesterification of the alpha-ester was observed and the chirality of the alpha-amino acid was preserved.
