5 USEFUL <strong>METHODS</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>AMINO</strong> <strong>ACIDS</strong><br />

www.assignments4u.com


METHOD#1<br />

Amination of alphabromocarboxylic<br />

acids<br />

provides a straight forward<br />

method for preparing<br />

alpha- amino carboxylic<br />

acids. The bromoacid are<br />

conveniently prepared from<br />

carboxylic acids by reaction<br />

with Br2 + PCl3.


METHOD#2<br />

• By modifying the nitrogen as<br />

a phthalimide salt the<br />

propensity of amines to<br />

undergo multiple substitutions<br />

is removed, and a single clean<br />

substitution<br />

reaction of 1º- and many 2ºalkylhalides<br />

takes place.


METHOD#3<br />

An elegant procedure known<br />

as the Strecker synthesis,<br />

assembles an alpha-amino<br />

acid fromammonia (the amine<br />

precursor), cyanide (the<br />

carboxyl precursor) and an<br />

aldehyde. Thisreaction is<br />

essentially an imino analog of<br />

cyanohydrin formation. The<br />

alpha-amino nitrileformed in<br />

this way can then be<br />

hydrolyzed to an amino acid by<br />

either acid or base catalysis.


METHOD# 4<br />

Resolution The three synthetic<br />

procedures described above<br />

and many others thatcan be<br />

conceived, give racemic amino<br />

acid products. If pure L or D<br />

enantiomers aredesired, it is<br />

necessary to resolve these<br />

racemic mixtures.<br />

A common method of resolving<br />

racemates is by diastereomeric<br />

salt formation with apure chiral<br />

acid or base.


METHOD # 5<br />

Resolution The three synthetic<br />

procedures described above<br />

and many others thatcan be<br />

conceived, give racemic amino<br />

acid products. If pure L or D<br />

enantiomers aredesired, it is<br />

necessary to resolve these<br />

racemic mixtures.<br />
