The natural dipeptide antibiotic TAN 1057 A,B represents a promising new antibiotic entity. In this communication we report a novel approach for the synthesis of TAN 1057 A,B analogs bearing variations in the β-arginine side chain. This approach invo...

In this paper we describe the synthesis of a γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde from a bicyclic Diels-Alder adduct, to be used in future electrocyclic reaction studies. A number of reactions produced undesired materials resulting from the interaction between f...

A convenient four-step method for the preparation of the lipophilic vicinal diamine 1,2-diamino-1-phenylheptane is described. Condensation involving octan-2-one, benzaldehyde and ammonia is reported. Regioselective Schmidt rearrangement of 2,6-diphen...

Reaction of 1,2-dihydro-2-thioxopteridin-4(3H)-one, 6,7-dimethyl-1,2-dihydro-2-thioxopteridin-4(3H)-one and 6,7-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-2-thioxopteridin-4(3H)-one with hydrazonoyl halides affords the title compounds in good yields.

The unique aromatic peptide 4-(p-aminobenzoylamino)-2-aminobenzoic acid, carotamine, together with 2,4-diaminobenzoic acid, isolated for the first time from a plant source, were identified from the aqueous alcoholic extract of the aerial parts of Dau...
