Acylation of a variety of amines with succinimidyl N-trityl-beta -alanyl-ga
mma -aminobutyrate and N-trityl-gamma -aminobutyryl-beta -alaninate, readil
y obtained through coupling of succinimidyl N-trityl-beta -alaninate with t
rimethylsilyl gamma -aminobutyrate and of N-trityl-gamma -aminobutyric acid
with methyl beta -alaninate, respectively, followed by LiAlH4 reduction, p
roduced N-monoalkylated spermidine fragments and analogues of the spermine
alkaloid kukoamine A. The applicability of this methodology on the solid ph
ase was also demonstrated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
