摘要:
The invention relates to novel branched amino acids and novel methods for their production. The amino acids are useful in the preparation of non-natural peptides and peptidomimetics, by efficient synthesis methodology allowing good enantiomeric specificity at the alpha carbon. Typically the stereochemistry at the alpha carbon is at least 85 %, preferably at least 95 %, such as in excess of 99 % enantiomerically pure. L-stereochemistry at this location is convenient as most biological interactions will favour this configuration, but the invention also extends to enantiomerically enriched and preferably at least 85 %, preferably at least 95 % such as at least 99 % enantiomerically pure D stereoconfiguration. Compounds of the invention will find utility in the preparation of non-natural peptides and peptidomimetics, such as those used in the exploration of receptor specificity and activity or in peptidomimetic inhibitors of enzyme function. The compounds of the invention are built into such peptides/peptidomimetics using standard peptide chemistry.

Disclosed is a process for preparing substantially enantiomerically pure 3-amino-3-cyclopropylpropanoate esters, i.e., esters of 3-amino-3-cyclopropylpropanoic acid (3-cyclopropylalanine esters or 3-CPA esters) by a 5-step process wherein cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde (CPCA) is reacted with malonic acid and a source of ammonia to obtain 3-cyclopropylalanine (3-CPA); esterifying the 3-CPA; contacting the 3-CPA ester with a substantially enantiomerically pure acid selected from tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid and mandelic acid to obtain a diastereomeric salt of the 3-CPA ester and the acid; recrystallization of the salt to substantial diastereomeric purity; and neutralizing the salt to afford the substantially enantiomerically pure 3-CPA ester.

摘要:
The present invention addresses the need to provide a process for purifying valine having a high purity in high yield by a simple method and using an inexpensive precipitant. A valine-containing aqueous solution is reacted with p-isopropylbenzenesulfonic acid or its water-soluble salt to form a valine p-isopropylbenzenesulfonate crystal. Valine p-isopropylbenzenesulfonate is separated and then dissociated to purify and obtain valine. The p-Isopropylbenzenesulfonic acid used may be in the form of a free acid, or a salt eg an alkali metal salt or an ammonium salt. The procedure of forming an adduct comprising 1 mol of valine and 1 mol of p-isopropylbenzenesulfonic acid and purifying valine has the effects that since the solubility of valine p-isopropylbenzenesulfonate is low, valine may be obtained at high efficiency, and that valine may be separated at a high rate from leucine and isoleucine, which are in general hard to separate from valine, because of the specificity of the adduct. p-Isopropylbenzenesulfonic acid can be easily produced by sulfonating inexpensive isopropylbenzene.
