摘要 |
The present invention provides certain alpha-amino acids and derivatives thereof, such as, but not limited to, esters, amides and salts. The present invention also provides a novel method for the synthesis of alpha-amino acids and derivatives thereof. The alpha-amino acids and derivatives thereof may comprise such representative side groups as a phenyl, pyridyl, piperidinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, or thienyl group. The present invention provides a method for synthesizing alpha-amino acids and derivatives thereof via a modified Ugi type reaction using an aldehyde, ammonium formate, and a C1-C6 alkyl isocyanide. The compounds provided by this method are useful in the development of new pharmaceuticals for the treatment of human diseases.
