M. Groarke et al., Synthesis of ketomethylene amino pseudopeptide analogues via reductive amination of glyoxals derived from alpha-amino acids, BIOORG MED, 10(2), 2000, pp. 153-155
The reductive amination of an amino acid derived glyoxal, with the free ami
no group of a protected amino acid or oligopeptide fragment, has been devel
oped as a simple and efficient method for the preparation of ketomethylene
amino pseudo-oligopeptide isosteres Aa psi(COCH2NH)Aa. Trichlorosilane-DMF
is the reagent of choice for the reduction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
