Methacrylonitrile → gamma-Methyl-DL-ornithine

Participants

Reaction Steps

γ-Methyl-DL-thiocitrulline (where R is H, R' is CH2 and R" is C(H)(CH3) and x is zero and Q is =S). This compound may be prepared by using y-methyl-DL-ornithine in place of L-ornithine in Example I. γ-Methyl-DL-ornithine is prepared as described above for β-methyl-DL-ornithine except methacrylonitrile is substituted for crotononitrile.
