Reactions of β-Hydroxy-valine and Related Compounds

Abstract

Methyl α-benzoylamino-β, β-dimethylacrylate and 2-phenyl-4-isopropylidene-5-oxazolone were led from β-hydroxyvaline, and methyl α-benzoylamino-β, β-dimethylacrylate was led from β, β-dimethylacrylic acid through α-nitro-β, β-dimethylacrylate. Relationship between these compounds and penicillamine was determined.
