General description

Conjugated addition of secondary amines, imidazole and pyrazole to methyl 2 methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate in the presence of a catalyst results in the formation of β-Dialkylamino-α-alanine and β-(N-heteroaryl)-α-alanine derivatives. Methyl-2-acetamidoacrylate (M2AA) is an anti-inflammatory agent. The catalytic reaction of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate with Grignard′s reagents affords α-amino esters. M2AA can form thermosensitive copolymers with methyl acrylate.
Methyl ester of 2-acetamidoacrylate . methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (Me-2-AA) is a di-unsaturated α-amino acid derivative. methyl-2-acetamidoacrylate exihibits anti -inflammatory properties, it is very effective against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced nitric oxide production by RAW 264.

Application

Methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate can undergo [2+2] cycloaddition (Michael–Dieckmann-type reaction) with ketene diethyl acetal to yield the cyclobutane core. It may be used in rhodium-catalyzed 2-alkenylpyrrole formation.

The tandem Friedel-Crafts conjugate addition/asymmetric protonation reaction between 2-substituted indoles and methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by (R)-3,3'-dibromo-BINOL in the presence of stoichiometric SnCl(4), and is the first example of a tandem conjugate addition/asymmetric protonation reaction using
