Amido group

A Acylsarcosinates. Sodium A/-lautoylsarcosinate [7631-98-3] is a good soap-like surfactant. Table 4 gives trade names and properties. The amido group in the hydrophobe chain lessens the interaction with hardness ions. A/-Acylosarcosinates have been used in dentifrices (qv) where they ate claimed to inactivate enzymes that convert glucose to lactic acid in the mouth (57). They ate prepared from a fatty acid chloride and satcosine ... 

As many natural and synthetic /3-lactams bear 3-acylamino substituents, the corresponding free amines or protected forms thereof are versatile synthetic intermediates. They may be prepared in several ways, for example by deacylation of the 7-amido group in naturally occurring penicillins by enzymic or chemical means. Chemical degradation usually involves conversion of the amide to a chloroimidate followed by cleavage with aqueous alcohols (75S547 p. 560, 78T1731 p. 1753). 

During the hardening of PMF-resins no co-condensation occurs in the hardened state two independent interpenetrating networks exist [58]. Indications for a co-condensation via methylene bridges between the phenolic nucleus and the amido group of the melamine had been found by H-NMR only in model reactions between phenolmethylols and melamine. 

In most cases the microspheres were insoluble. The polysaccharides might be partially cross-linked via amido groups formed by the carboxyl groups of the polyanion and the restored free amino group of chitosan. The susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis by lysozyme was poor, mainly because lysozyme, a strongly cationic protein, can be inactivated by anionic polysaccharides [207]. 

The inner-sphere mechanism is restricted to those complexes containing at least one ligand which can bridge between two metal centers. The commonest examples of such ligands are the halides, hydroxy or oxo groups, amido groups, thiocyanate... 

Markovnikov s rule, with the electrophile Ac" " going to the carbon with more hydrogens. In an analogous reaction, an acyl and an amido group can be added, if a nitrile is used in place of the anhydride ... 

V-Acetylneuraminic acid is a common group in glycoproteins, and it contains both the amide and carboxyl chromophores. As shown in formula 11, this nine-carbon sugar derivative has an equatorial amido group on C-5 and both a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group on the anomeric carbon atom. 

Listowsky and coworkers showed that the c.d. of this sugar derivative is due entirely to lactic acid, and confirmed that this chromophore is in the D configuration for muramic acid. N-Acetylmuramic acid, in which the amino group is replaced by an amido group at C-2, has a c.d. spectrum that is roughly a linear combination of the lactic acid in muramic acid and the amide in 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose. This indicates that the amide chromophore and the lactic acid chromophore in N-acetylmuramic acid behave independently. 

Part B of Scheme 4.5 gives some examples of cyclizations induced by selenium electrophiles. Entries 9 to 13 are various selenyletherifications. All exhibit anti stereochemistry. Entries 14 and 15 are selenyllactonizations. Entries 17 and 18 involve amido groups as the internal nucleophile. Entry 17 is an 5-exo cyclization in which the amido oxygen is the more reactive nucleophilic site, leading to an iminolactone. Geometric factors favor N-cyclization in the latter case. 

The 9-phenylfluoren-9-yl (PhFI) group is very useful for protection of the amino group. Pd/C can remove the Pf group and reduce the amido group,... 

Proteases, which can be classified as either peptidases or proteinases. These cleave polypeptide chains eventually into their component amino acids. Peptidases can be further classified as endopeptidases (which act on the main-chain amido groups along the polypeptide molecule) or as exopeptidases (which act only at terminal amino acid residues).
