Abstract
The reaction of formaldehyde with enantiomerically pure α-N-protected amino acid hydrazides is described. The system has been investigated in different solvents, including both aqueous formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde, with the aim of simplifying the final reaction mixture. Aqueous formaldehyde in refluxing THF proved to be the best combination, affording mainly the corresponding monomeric N-methylene and 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine derivatives. The monomeric form was the only one present at high temperature, as evidenced by1H and13C NMR spectroscopy.Key words: amino acid hydrazides, formaldehyde, condensation reactions, monomeric N-methylene derivatives, oligomers.
