Aminoacid-derived mercaptoimidazoles

Org Biomol Chem. 2009 Jan 7;7(1):128-34. doi: 10.1039/b810678a. Epub 2008 Oct 31.

Abstract

Starting from suitably protected amino acids, mercaptoimidazoles were synthesized either from the acid or including the amine nitrogen itself. A preliminary optimisation study led to efficient conditions for the obtention of the imidazole ring. These conditions are compatible with the presence of amino acid or dipeptide scaffolds.
