Anionic amino alkoxypropionates

Xia et al. [63] developed new acyl AAS having the general structure a-amino-(Ai-acyl)-P-alkoxypropionate. The structure-function relationship of the anionic amino-alkoxypropionates was evaluated, with an emphasis on their antimicrobial properties. The anionic amino-alkoxypropionate was synthesized, starting from propionic acid methyl ester, through alkoxylation with fatty alcohol, bromination, saponification, amidation, acylation with R OCl (acyl chloride), and saponification to obtain the final product. For the detailed procedure, see Xia et al. [63]. 

The antimicrobial efficiency of the anionic amino-alkoxypropionates against the microorganisms was in the following order. S. aureus > A. nigar =...
