The preparation of enantiomerically pure N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl,N-methylamino acids by N-methylation of the parent amino acid derivatives using sodium hydride and methyl iodide in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature is described for neutral amino acids including O-benzyl-protected threonine and tyrosine. Methylation of the O-benzylserine derivative under these conditions gives the N-methyldehydroalanine derivative. The β-elimination is completely suppressed, giving the corresponding N-methylserine derivative when the reaction is carried out at 5 °C. Other related data on N-methylation and N-methylamino acid derivatives are presented.

The enantiomeric purity of N-methylamino acids and their derivatives obtained by various procedures has been examined by analysis with an amino-acid analyzer of the diastereomeric lysyl dipeptides formed by coupling them with a lysyl derivative. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl, and N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl,N-methylamino acids obtained by methylation of the parent derivative using sodium hydride and methyl iodide, and N-methylamino acids obtained by methylation of the p-toluenesulfonylamino acid followed by treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia, are optically pure. Compounds obtained by other procedures which include reductive alkylations or the use of silver oxide – methyl iodide are generally not optically pure.

The preparation of dimedone derivatives of amino acids has been effected by saponification of the corresponding alkyl esters, and also by catalytic hydrogenation of the respective benzyl esters. The amino acid derivatives have been used to synthesize peptides in excellent yields, employing dicyclohexyl carbodiimide as the condensing agent.

A simple, mild, green and efficient method for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzamides was highly desired in organic synthesis. Herein, we developed an efficient, one-pot strategy for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzamides with high yields irradiated by UV light. 32 examples proceeded successfully by this photo-induced protocol. The yield reached up to 92%. The gram scale was also achieved easily. This building block could be applied in the preparation of quinazolinones derivatives. Amino acid derivatives could be employed smoothly at room temperature. Finally, a plausible mechanism was proposed.

A new highly enantioselective route to α-alkenyl α-amino acid derivatives using a N–H insertion reaction of vinyldiazoacetates and tert-butyl carbamate cooperatively catalyzed by achiral dirhodium(ii) carboxylates and chiral spiro phosphoric acids was developed.
