Colorimetric determination of amino acids using genipin from Gardenia jasminoides

Genipin, a hydrolysate of geniposide from gardenia fruits, produces blue pigments on reaction with amino acids. The colorimetric detection of amino acids using this genipin reaction was evaluated and compared with the well-known ninhydrin reaction. The molar absorptivities of the blue pigments, the reaction products of genipin with various amino acids, were greater than those of the respective ninhydrin reaction products. When asparagine was reacted with genipin, the molar absorptivity was about 14 times higher than with ninhydrin. The absorbance of the genipin–amino acids increased linearly with increase of amino acid concentration, indicating that genipin could be a useful reagent for quantitation of amino acids. Thin layer chromatographic analysis showed that the genipin reaction produces clear and stable colored spots. The blue ninhydrin reaction spots were usually bleached in 24 h at room temperature, while the genipin reaction spots remained unchanged for several months. The addition of 0.1 mM Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ decreased the absorbance of Gly–ninhydrin pigment by 50% and 98%, respectively, but those metal ions did not affect the absorbance of the Gly–genipin pigment.     

Amino acid end-group in commercial heparin. II. Reaction kinetics of the amino end groups with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid

Three different commercial heparins were trinitophenylated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) under aqueous conditions. The reaction kinetics of amino groups in heparin with TNBS showed that the reactivities of amino groups were significantly different for free amino groups on heparin, compared to reactivities in peptides and amino acid residues attached to heparin molecules. With TNBS, unreactive amino groups were always present during the reaction.     

Study on Production of Amino Acids from Bean Dregs by Hydrolysis in Sub-critical Water

This study investigated the production of value‐added amino acids from bean dregs by hydrolysis in subcritical water. It was investigated that the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time and CO₂ on amino acid concentration in the hydrolysates of bean dregs. The product of amino acid was determined by Amino Acid Analyzer. The results show that a variety of amino acids are produced. The concentrations of arginine, lysine and alanine were relatively high in the hydrolysate. Temperature and time have a great influence on the hydrolysis reaction. The effects of reaction temperature and time on concentration of different amino acids vary. The addition of carbon dioxide led to an increase in amino acid yield due to the acceleration of acid hydrolyzed catalysis steps. The highest yield of total amino acids is 22% (0.22 g/g of dry bean dregs) at 330°C and 30 min. This method may provide a practical and economical solution for the disposal of bean dregs wastes.     

Highly enantioselective aryl transfer to aldehydes: a remarkable effect of sulfur substitution in amino thioacetate ligands

Chiral amino thioacetate ligands were prepared from the corresponding amino alcohols and used as catalysts for enantioselective aryl transfer reaction. The amino thioacetates were remarkably superior to the corresponding amino alcohols. Low catalyst loadings of only 1-2.5 mol % were sufficient to achieve excellent enantioselectivity as well as high conversion in short reaction time. The results reveal that the thioacetoxy moiety of the amino thioacetates has a surprisingly beneficial effect in enhancing the asymmetric induction.     

Enantioselective decarboxylation of beta-keto esters with Pd/amino alcohol systems: successive metal catalysis and organocatalysis

The kinetics and mechanisms of one-pot cascade reactions of racemic beta-keto esters to give chiral ketones in the presence of Pd/C-chiral amino alcohol catalyst systems were studied. Transformation of 2-methyl-1-tetralone-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (1) into 2-methyl-1-tetralone (4) in the presence of Pd/C and cinchona alkaloids or ephedrine was chosen as a model reaction. After the first reaction step, the Pd-catalysed debenzylation of 1 to afford the corresponding beta-keto acid (2), there are two possible reaction routes that may be catalysed by the chiral amino alcohol in solution or by Pd(0) sites on the metal surface in cooperation with the adsorbed amino alcohol. The reaction intermediate 2 was synthesized, and the kinetics of decarboxylation were followed by NMR, UV and IR spectroscopy. The studies revealed that the role of Pd is to trigger the reaction series by deprotection of 1. The subsequent dominant reaction route from the racemic beta-keto acid 2 to the chiral ketone 4 is catalysed by the chiral amino alcohol in the liquid phase. It is shown that kinetic resolution of the diastereomeric salt of rac-2 and the chiral amino alcohol plays a key role in the enantioselection. High enantioselectivity necessitates an amino alcohol/rac-2 ratio of at least 2. A high ratio favours the formation of 1:1 amino alcohol/acid diastereomeric complexes, and the second amino alcohol molecule may be responsible for the enantioselective protonation of 2 in the diastereomeric complex.     

Chelated Enolates of Amino Acid Esters—Efficient Nucleophiles in Palladium-Catalyzed Allylic Substitutions

Complementary to the Claisen rearrangement , the title reaction—which when carried out with chelated enolates of amino acid esters as nucleophiles gives rise to unsaturated amino acids—preferentially provides anti instead of syn products. This palladium-catalyzed reaction proceeds under very mild conditions and is suitable for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure amino acids (see reaction scheme). Tfa=trifluoroacetyl.

Chiral recognition in gas-phase cyclodextrin: Amino acid complexes—Is the three point interaction still valid in the gas phase?

The validity of the "three-point interaction" model is examined in the guest exchange reaction involving complexes of cyclodextrins and amino acids. The amino acid guest is exchanged in the gas phase in the presence of a gaseous alkyl amine. The net reaction is proton transfer between the protonated amino acid and the alkyl amine. The amino acid is lost as a neutral species. This reaction is sensitive to the chirality of the amino acid. Several amino acids are examined as well as the respective methyl esters to determine the role of the three interacting groups (ammonium, carboxylic acid, and side chain) in enantioselectivity. We find that the three-point interaction model is indeed valid in the gas phase. Enantioselectivity is optimal when two points of attraction and one repulsion is present in the gas-phase complex. The results are supported by molecular modeling calculations. A mechanism for the exchange is proposed.     

Chain extension of amino acid skeletons: preparation of ketomethylene isosteres

Ketomethylene isosteric replacements for peptide bonds were generated through a zinc carbenoid-mediated chain extension reaction in which a variety of amino acid-derived β-keto esters are converted to γ-keto esters in a single step. The reaction tolerates a variety of protecting groups and amino acid side chains with no epimerization of the amino acid stereocenter.     

"Click chemistry" inspired synthesis of pseudo-oligosaccharides and amino acid glycoconjugates

[reaction: see text] Various pseudo-oligosacchardies and amino acid glycoconjugates were synthesized via an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click") reaction using easily accessible carbohydrate and amino acid derived azides and alkynes as building blocks. It is pertinent to mention that the conjugation reaction is highly regioselective and high yielding and can be carried out under mild reaction conditions.     

Determination of accessible amino groups on surfaces by chemical derivatization with 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isothiocyanate and XPS/NEXAFS analysis

The determination of amino groups on surfaces capable of binding biomolecules is important for the understanding and optimization of technologically relevant coupling processes. In this study, three different types of amino-functionalized model surfaces, amino thiolate on Au, amino siloxane on Si, and polyethylene (PE) foils and films reacted with 1,2-diaminoethane (DAE) were derivatized with 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isothiocyanate. Subsequently, these samples were analyzed by chemical derivatization X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (CD-XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS). The determination of amino groups by this analytical approach allows gaining insight into the availability of groups on surfaces that can actually serve as attachment sites for biomolecules in technical applications. In the case of the amino thiolate on Au, almost 90% of the expected amino groups were detected by CD-XPS. Investigation of the amino siloxane films revealed lower yields for the derivatization reaction in the order of 30%. The lowered reaction yields are thought to be due to interactions between the amino siloxane’s amino and silanol groups or the underlying substrate, making them inaccessible to the derivatization agent. The aminated PE samples are characterized by a complex surface chemistry and structure, and reaction yields of the derivatization reaction cannot be unequivocally derived. However, 1–3% of the total carbon atoms in the surface layer were found to be bound to amino groups accessible to the derivatization agent. It can be concluded that, depending on the detailed character of the investigated amino-terminated surface, the amount of amino groups accessible to CD-XPS can be substantially lower than the total amount of amino groups present at the surface.     

Efficient, stereoselective synthesis of trans-2,5-disubstituted morpholines

[reaction: see text] Enantio- and diastereoselective syntheses of trans-2,5-disubstituted morpholine derivatives are described. The routes are initiated by the reaction of enantiopure epoxides (2) with amino alcohols (3) and address the problem of regioselective hydroxyl activation-ring closure of the resulting amino diol adducts for (amino alcohol-derived) alkyl substituents of different steric demands.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of Unsaturated and Functionalized l-NHBoc Amino Acids, Using Wittig Reaction under Mild Phase-Transfer Conditions

The stereoselective synthesis of a new amino acid phosphonium salt was described by quaternization of melting triphenylphosphine with the γ-iodo NHBoc-amino ester, derived from l-aspartic acid. The deprotection of the carboxylic acid function to afford the phosphonium salt with a free carboxylic acid group was achieved by a palladium-catalyzed desallylation reaction. This phosphonium salt was used in the Wittig reaction with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and trifluoroacetophenone, under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions in chlorobenzene and in the presence of K(3)PO(4) as weak base, to afford the corresponding unsaturated amino acids without racemization. Thus, the reaction with substituted aldehydes allows to graft various functionalized groups on the lateral chain of the amino acid, such as trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, ferrocenyl, boronato, or azido. In addition, the reaction of the amino acid Wittig reagent with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes leads to amino acids bearing a diene on the lateral chain. Finally, this amino acid phosphonium salt appears to be a new powerful tool for the preparation of unsaturated and non-proteinogenic α-amino acids, directly usable for the synthesis of customized peptides.     

Thermodynamical characteristics of the reaction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate with L-amino acids in aqueous buffer solution

The reaction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate with L-isomers of alanine, lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and glycine in phosphate buffer solution was studied by absorption spectroscopy and the calorimetry of dissolution at physiological acidity of the medium (pH 7.35). The formation constants of Schiff bases during reactions and changes in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy were determined. It was shown that the formation constant of the Schiff base and its spectral properties depend on the nature of the bound amino acid. The progress of the reaction with a majority of amino acids is governed by the entropy factor due to the predominant role of the dehydration effect of the reaction center of amino acids during chemical reactions. The intramolecular electrostatic interaction of an ionized phosphate group with the positively charged amino group on the end of the chain of amino acid residue stabilizes the Schiff bases formed by lysine and arginine. The extinction coefficient of the base, equilibrium constant, and the exothermic effect of the reaction then increase. The excess negative charge on the end of the chain of amino acid residues of aspartic and glutamic acids destabilizes the molecule of the Schiff base. In this case, the equilibrium constant decreases and the endothermic effect of the reaction increases.     

Microwave-enhanced copper-catalyzed N-arylation of free and protected amino acids in water

A microwave-enhanced copper-catalyzed protocol for N-arylation using water as the solvent is reported. This fast transformation allows the reaction between various amino acids or amino acid esters and a diverse set of substituted aryl bromides in less than 40 min, affording good yields of non-protected N-arylated amino acids with only minor racemization (6% or less). In addition, online ESI-MS and MS/MS analysis were used to "fish-out" an anionic Cu-containing amino acid complex directly from an ongoing N-arylation reaction.     

Expedient synthesis of chiral 1,2- and 1,4-diamines: protecting group dependent regioselectivity in direct organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reactions

[reaction: see text] Organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of protected amino ketones with imines in the presence of an L-proline-derived tetrazole catalyst afforded diamines with excellent yields and enantioselectivities of up to 99%. The amino ketone protecting group controlled the regioselectivity of the reaction providing access to chiral 1,2-diamines from azido ketones and 1,4-diamines from phthalimido ketones.

Hydrotropic Enhancement of Rate of Ninhydrin‐α‐Amino Acid Reaction: A Kinetic Study

The kinetics of ninhydrin‐α‐amino acid (alanine, phenylalanine, and valine) reaction have been studied in the absence and in the presence of a common hydrotrope, sodiumbenzoate. A strong enhancement in the rate of reaction has been observed in the presence of the hydrotrope above its minimal hydrotrope concentration (MHC). The order of reaction in ninhydrin was always found to be unity while that in amino acid decreases from unity to zero at higher [Aminoacid]. A mechanism consistent with kinetic data and involving the formation of a mixed aggregation assemblies between amino acid and hydrotrope has been proposed.
