A new chiral serine equivalent and its enantiomer have been synthesized from (S)- and (R)-N-Boc-serine methyl esters (Boc: tert-butyloxycarbonyl). The use of these compounds as chiral building blocks has been demonstrated in the synthesis of alpha-alkyl alpha-amino acids by diastereoselective
Seryl-tRNA synthetases (SerRSs) fall into two distinct evolutionary groups of enzymes, bacterial and methanogenic. These two types of SerRSs display only minimal sequence similarity, primarily within the class II conserved motifs, and possess distinct modes of tRNA(Ser) recognition. In order

[reaction: see text] Reaction of N,N-dibenzyl-O-methylsulfonyl serine methyl ester with a variety of heteronucleophiles (sodium azide, sodium phthalimide, amines, thiols) and carbanions (sodium malonate) gave, via an aziridinium intermediate, the corresponding beta-amino or alpha,beta-diamino ester in good to excellent yield.
The reaction of L-serine methyl ester hydrochloride (1) with paraformaldehyde (2) in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine afforded a novel compound: [lS,2S,6S,7S]-1,6-diaza-4,9-dioxa-2,7-dimethoxycarbonylbicyclo[4.4.1]undecane (4) as a 2:3 adduct of 1 with 2. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy were unable to
