Nitroxides are broadly used as molecular probes and labels in biophysics, structural biology, and biomedical research. Resistance of a nitroxide group bearing an unpaired electron to chemical reduction with low-molecular-weight antioxidants and enzymatic systems is of critical importance for these

Penicillin G acylase (PGA) from Kluyvera citrophila immobilized on Amberzyml was used for enantioselective hydrolysis of N-phenylacetylated-DL-tert-leucine (N-Phac-DL-Tle) to produce L-tert-leucine (L-Tle). The effects of various organic cosolvents on hydrolysis of N-Phac-DL-Tle have been investigated in aqueous-cosolvent medium. It was
[reaction: see text] A highly diastereoselective acetate aldol reaction that uses a tert-leucine-derived thiazolidinethione auxiliary and dichlorophenylborane has been developed. The reaction proceeds in excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivities (drs range from 9.5:1 to >100:1).

Optically pure D-tert.-leucine was obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of (+/-)-N-acetyl-tert. leucine chloroethyl ester after about 50% conversion, this being catalyzed by a protease from Bacillus licheniformis (Alcalase), and subsequent acidic saponification of the recovered ester. Among the methyl, ethyl

Terminally protected homopeptides of tert-leucine, from the dimer to the hexamer, co-oligopeptides of tert-leucine in combination with alpha-aminoisobutyric acid or glycine residues up to the hexamer level, and simple dipeptides representing known scaffolds for catalysts in asymmetric organic reactions were
