Abstract
N-Carbamoylamino acids were obtained through the alkylation of monosubstituted parabanic acids followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate products. This new methodology furnishes structurally and functionally diverse N-carbamoylamino acids in high preparative yields and excellent purity.
Key words
monosubstituted parabanic acids - N-carbamoylamino acids - ureas - hydrolysis - alkylation

General Procedure
Monosubstituted
parabanic acid 1a-g (2
mmol) and alkylating agent 2a-g (2 mmol) were placed in a 15 mL tube and
dissolved in 3-4 mL of DMF (or dioxane in the case of 4a,p). Diisopropylethylamine
(0.35 mL, 2 mmol) was added to the solution. The tube was thoroughly
sealed and allowed to stand at 20 ˚C in ultrasonic bath
(BRANSON 2510E-MT) for 16 h. After that, the reaction mixture was
diluted by 8-10 mL of 10% aq solution of NaOH
and sonicated at 60 ˚C for 8 h. After the neutralization
by HCl, the precipitate formed was filtered and washed with i-PrOH (2 mL). Targeted N-carbamoylamino
acids 4c-m were
obtained as a white powders. In the case of water-soluble compounds 4a,b,n-q the
extraction by CH2Cl2 was used.
Compounds 4a,b,f,g,i were obtained in hundred-gram scale by the general procedure.
