General description

Ethyl 2-nitropropionate is a nitro ester.

Application

Ethyl 2-nitropropionate was used in the preparation of:
  • (−)-trans-2,5-dimethylprolineethyl ester via enantioselective Michael reaction methyl vinyl ketone using modified dihydroquinine as catalyst
  • novel nitrogen-15-labeled nitrone spin trap, 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide ([15N]EMPO) for detecting superoxide anion
  • 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2-nitropentanal

We describe the synthesis and biological applications of a novel nitrogen-15-labeled nitrone spin trap, 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide ([(15)N]EMPO) for detecting superoxide anion. Superoxide anion generated in xanthine/xanthine oxidase (100 nM min(-1)) and NADPH/calcium-calmodulin/nitric oxide synthase systems was readily detected using EMPO

The proposed structures of jenamidines A, B, and C (1-3) were revised to jenamidines A1/A2, B1/B2, and C (8-10). Jenamidines A1/A2 (8) were synthesized from activated proline derivative 43 by conversion to 26 in two steps and 50% overall yield.
