V. Bertini et al., C-ALKYLATION OF NITRILES - A USEFUL ROUTE TO 2-ETHOXYALKYL DERIVATIVES OF CADAVERINE PLANNED FOR ENZYME STUDY, Tetrahedron, 49(37), 1993, pp. 8423-8432
The cadaverine derivatives 14 containing ethoxyalkyl groups of variabl
e length in position 2, planned as model molecules for the diamine oxi
dase active site study, were prepared and characterized exploiting as
key precursors both 5-(N,N-dimethylamino)pentanonitrile or ethyl 2-cya
no-5-(N,N-dimethylamino)pentanoate.
