D. Marcovicimizrahi et al., ON THE STABILIZATION OF THE SYN-ROTAMER OF AMINO-ACID CARBAMATE DERIVATIVES BY HYDROGEN-BONDING, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(24), 1996, pp. 8402-8406
The syn-rotamers of carbamate derivatives of alpha-amino acids are sho
wn to be stabilized by the formation of H-bond complexes with carboxyl
ic acid moieties in solution. This effect is, as expected, concentrati
on and temperature dependent. Thermodynamic parameters (both Delta G d
egrees and Delta G double dagger) for N-Boc-alanine were determined by
NMR in the +/-60 degrees C range.
