Strecker degradation of amino acids promoted by a camphor-derived sulfonamide
نویسندگان
چکیده
A camphor-derived sulfonimine with a conjugated carbonyl group, oxoimine 1 (O2SNC10H13O), reacts with amino acids (glycine, L-alanine, L-phenylalanine, L-leucine) to form a compound O2SNC10H13NC10H14NSO2 (2) which was characterized by spectroscopic means (MS and NMR) and supported by DFT calculations. The product, a single diastereoisomer, contains two oxoimine units connected by a -N= bridge, and thus has a structural analogy to the colored product Ruhemann´s purple obtained by the ninhydrin reaction with amino acids. A plausible reaction mechanism that involves zwitterions, a Strecker degradation of an intermediate imine and water-catalyzed tautomerizations was developed by means of DFT calculations on potential transition states.

Antagonism between lipid-derived reactive carbonyls and phenolic compounds in the Strecker degradation of amino acids.
The Strecker-type degradation of phenylalanine in the presence of 2-pentanal and phenolic compounds was studied to investigate possible interactions that either promote or inhibit the formation of Strecker aldehydes in food products. Phenylacetaldehyde formation was promoted by 2-pentenal and also by o- and p-diphenols, but not by m-diphenols. This is consequence of the ability of phenolic comp...

Platinum(II) catalyzes the isomerization of camphor sulfonamide diynes in a cascade reaction involving annulation of a five-membered ring to the camphor skeleton, ring-enlargement by C-C bond cleavage, reduction of sulfur(VI) to sulfur(IV), and oxidation of a hydroxy group to a ketone. The reactions of the diynes with other transition metal compounds were also studied. Copper, gold and rhenium ...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Chemistry of Strecker Degradation and Amadori Rearrange- ment: Implications to Aroma and Color Formation
The importance of Strecker degradation lies in its ability to produce Strecker aldehydes and 2-aminocarbonyl compounds, both are critical intermediates in the generation of aromas during Maillard reaction, however, they can also be formed independently of the pathways established for Strecker degradation. Strecker aldehyde can be formed directly either from free amino acids or from Amadori prod...
