Abstract:
This invention describes a reductive amination process whereby perfluorinated ketones or ketals are combined with α-aminoesters under basic conditions to form metal carboxylates. Diastereoselective reductions of the metal carboxylates enable access to two diastereomers, depending on the reducing conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved synthesis of alitame (3-L-alpha-aspartyl-D-alanylamido-2,2,4,4-tetramethylthietanylamine) in which residual iodine species formed during the deodorization step are eliminated, resulting in an improved yield and a purer, more consistent product.
Abstract:
A process for producing a ferric aminopolycarboxylic acid chelate with improved long term stability is disclosed. The process involves heating a mixture of iron oxide, ammonia and aminopolycarboxylic acid chelant at an elevated temperature for a sufficient time to improve the stability of the formed chelate.
