Asymmetric Synthesis of Alanine by Catalytic Hydrogenation of Chiral Nα-Acetyldehydroalaninamides
Asymmetric hydrogenation of chiral Nα-acetyldehydroalaninamides was studied.The asymmetric yield of the resulting alanine was in the range 0-24percent.The effects of reaction temperature, solvent polarity and asymmetric moieties on the asymmetric yields were examined.
