β-Phenylselenoalanine as a dehydroalanine precursor-efficient synthesis of alternariolide (AM-toxin I)
Hashimoto, Kimiko,Sakai, Mitsuru,Okuno, Toshikatsu,Shirahama, Haruhisa
, p. 1139 - 1140 (1996)
Alternariolide (AM-toxin) is synthesized in 44% overall yield from L-2-amino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)pentanoic acid; D-β-phenylselenoalanine is used as the dehydroalanine precursor.
Synthesis of optically pure β-phenylselenoalanine through serine-β-lactone: A useful precursor of dehydroalanine
Sakai, Mitsuru,Hashimoto, Kimiko,Shirahama, Haruhisa
, p. 319 - 324 (2007/10/03)
Optically pure L- and D-β-phenylselenoalanines (PhSeAla), useful precursors of dehydroalanine, were synthesized from L- and D-serine-β-lactone. Elimination reactions of the phenylseleno group to form the dehydroalanine were examined.
