Synthesis of gamma-methyl-L-leucine (neopentylglycine, Neo) and derivatives suitable for peptide synthesis.

J L Fauchère et al.

International journal of peptide and protein research, 18(3), 249-255 (1981-09-01)

The modified Strecker synthesis of Patel & Worsley was combined with an enzymatic deamidation in the final step, to produce the title compound. The amino acid is a member of the family of the "fat" amino-acids with high lipophilicity and

The specificity and kinetic mechanism of branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase from Escherichia coli studied with a new improved coupled assay procedure and the enzyme's potential for biocatalysis.
