General description

N-Boc-2-aminoacetaldehyde is an organic building block. It reacts with Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagent to afford γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-derived α-keto amide/ester units.

Application

α-Methylenation of this amino aldehyde proceeds in a quick and efficient manner using a recently reported protocol involving formaldehyde and catalysis by either pyrrolidine proprionic acid or the dipeptide L-Pro-β-Ala.
Also used in a three-component synthesis of pyrrolidines involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.
N-Boc-2-aminoacetaldehyde may be employed in the following:
  • As a starting reagent in the total synthesis of (+)-negamycin.
  • Synthesis of (E)-ethyl 4-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)but-2-enoate.
  • Synthesis of 2,2′-bipyridine.
A building block in the synthesis of a protected pyrroloproline.
