α-Amino-γ-bromobutyric acid and its derivatives were utilized in the preparation of some non-coded (non-proteinogenic) amino acids and their derivatives. The bromine atom was replaced by hydrogen, hydroxyl, iodine and nitro, amino, and thiocyanato groups. Homolanthionine was prepared by two methods. Homoserine has been shown to exist in three crystalline modifications whose differences in the IR spectra indicate conformational changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
