Analogs of glutamic acid were synthesized through the asymmetric Michael reaction using chiral acyclic -enaminoesters and various Michael acceptors. The influence of the alkoxy group of the enaminoesters and also the nature of the olefins in the presence or not of zinc chloride on yield and enantioselectivity are explored.
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.
