Abstract

The absolute stereochemistry of the epoxide moiety in Sch 37137 has been established as 2R, 3R by its synthesis from L-tartaric acid. .

    Citation Excerpt :

    Elucidation of the molecular structure of non-ionized β-alanine is important for two reasons. First, β-alanine is the only naturally occurring β-amino acid with a significant biological [1–4] and pharmacological [5–7] importance related to its being a part of natural or synthesized peptides. Inclusion of a β-amino acid in a peptide results in appearance of an additional rotational degree of freedom (one more single CC bond) which increases the flexibility of the peptide backbone.

    2012, Journal of Molecular Structure
    Citation Excerpt :

    β-Alanine is present in some naturally occurring peptides with important pharmacological properties [4–6]. Peptides, in which an α-amino-acid residue was replaced by a β-amino acid residue in the peptide sequence, have shown increased stability against certain peptidases [7–11]. As other amino acids, β-alanine in solid state or in aqueous solutions exists in the bipolar (zwitterion) form [12], but in the gas phase it is present in the neutral form.
