A General Route to Synthesis of 1-Substituted Taurines

Several 2-aminoalkanesulfonic acids have been found in many mammalian tissues till now and are involved in various and important physiological processes. Recently attention has been paid to their syntheses for studies of these physiological processes, the structural modification of natural peptides to overcome the limitations associated with their development as therapeutically useful agents, and information on the nature and mechanism of the peptide-receptor interactions.
