L-Thienylalanines were prepared via the hydantoin and azlactone routes with the key step consisting of the microbial transamination of 2-hydroxy-3-thienylacrylic with L-aspartic acid as amino donor. The transamination reaction was performed by a genetically engineered E. coli strain on scales up to 100 g of L-3-(2-thienyl)alanine 1a and is also applicable to the preparation of the isomeric amino acid 1b and some ring-substituted derivatives.

campaigns, we decided to perform a systematic study on their promiscuity. An amount of 163 rhodanines, hydantoins, thiohydantoins, and thiazolidinediones were synthesized and tested against several targets. The compounds were also characterized with respect to aggregation and electrophilic reactivity, and the binding modes of rhodanines and relatedcompounds in published X-ray cocrystal structures were analyzed
