Stepwise oxidation of Z-threonyl- and Z-seryl-glycine esters and related compounds
Abstract
Z-Thr-Gly-OR and Z-Ser-Gly-OR are oxidized by different oxidizing agents, yielding the corresponding β-carbonyl derivative and/or an α-hydroxy derivative, an oxamide, and a dimeric ester of aminomalonic acid. Interconversions among oxidation products by different reagents have been observed.
