Synthesis of N-aryl and pyridine-substituted derivatives of valine, leucine and isoleucine

Abstract

A preparative method for the synthesis of N-aryl- and pyridine-substituted valine, leucine, isoleucine derivatives by condensation of amino acids sodium salts with benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, vanillin, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, 3-pyridinecarbaldehyde and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride has been developed.
