L-Alanine → HCID 10286675, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

As shown in Scheme II, alanine (2.15 g, 24.19 mmol) in 25 mL of distilled water was added to tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (1.00 g, 8.06 mmol) in water (15 mL) at 25° C. The reaction was stirred under dry nitrogen for one hour. The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a solid. The residue was washed in methanol (3×15 mL) and dried in vacuo to yield the analytically pure compound (THPAL) in 95% yield (2.58 g) as a white solid; ESI/MS calcd for C12H24N3O6P [M+H]+ 337.31, found 338.20; Anal. (calcd) for C12H24N3O6P: C, 42.73, H, 7.17. N 12.46. Found: C, 43.21, H, 7.54, N, 11.76; 1H NMR (D2O, 300 MHz): δ1.37 (d, 9H, —CH(CH3), 3.47 (d, 6H, P—(CH2)), 3.65 (q, 3H, —CH(CH3); 13C NMR (D2O, 75 MHz): δ14.84 (s, —CH(CH3), 42.65 (d, P—CH2, 1JP-C=12.83 Hz), 59.36 (d, CH(CH3), 3JP-C=5.30 Hz), 174.09 (s, —COOH); 31P{1H} NMR (D2O, 121.5 MHz): −39.50 (s).
