Photofragmentation of C,N-protected α-amino acids: comparing tert-leucine with sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine†
Abstract
The photochemical fingerprint for the N-acetyl methyl ester of the aliphatic amino acid tert-leucine 1 was investigated. This reaction path was compared with the electron transfer active amino acids methionine (N-acetyl methyl ester derivative 2a as well as the methyl ester derivative 2b) and the
