摘要:
A simple methodology to a unique macrocyclic alpha-amino acid (AAA) derivative involving three step synthetic sequence has been reported. In addition, various ruthenium based catalysts were studied to enhance the selectivity of the desired macrocyclic AAA derivative 6. The fluorescence behavior of these AAA derivatives 5 and 6 indicate their potential applications in biological sciences as biomarkers, ion sensors and peptidomimetics. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
