S. Kubik et al., SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA,ALPHA-DIALKYLATED AMINO-ACIDS WITH ADENINE OR THYMINE RESIDUES - A NEW MILD AND FACILE HYDROLYSIS OF HYDANTOINS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(36), 1994, pp. 6635-6638
The synthesis of alpha,alpha-dialkylated amino acids which contain two
adenine or thymine residues in their side chains is presented. In thi
s context, a mild method for the cleavage of hydantoins is introduced.
