Studies on Optically Active Amino Acids. XI. Studies on α-Alkyl-α-amino Acids. VI. Chemical Correlation of Absolute configuration of α-Methylphenylalanine to α-Methylaspartic Acid

抄録

The absolute configuration of (+)-α-methylphenylalanine hydrochloride has been elucidated to be either R- or d-configuration by the chemical correlation with (-)-α-methylaspartic acid, whose absolute configuration had been cofirmed to be R-configuration. The resolution of N-acetyl-DL-α-methylphenylalanine through its menthyl esters was also reported.
