The coupling reactions of 3-phenylpropanoic acid and N-carboxybenzyl α-amino acids with unprotected α-amino acids containing hydrophilic side chains such as aliphatic alcohol, aromatic alcohol, thiol, carboxylic acid, and amide afforded the corresponding amides in 66–96% yield without racemization via the corresponding mixed carbonic carboxylic anhydrides under basic conditions through an ecological green synthetic method.
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.
