A second method of activating the acid for esterification (see Section 7.6) is as the mixed anhydride. The mixed-anhydride reaction had been employed decades ago for preparing activated esters. However, it was never adopted because of its unreliability and the modest yields obtained. The method was fine-tuned (Figure 7.12), after reliable information on the properties of mixed anhydrides was acquired (see Section 2.8). Tertiary amine is required for esterification of the mixed anhydride to occur. The method is generally applicable, except for derivatives of asparagine, glutamine, and serine with unprotected side chains. The base also prevents decomposition that occurs when the activated derivative is a Boc-amino acid (see... 

The neutral amino acids (class IV) have hydroxyl groups serine, threonine) or amide groups asparagine, glutamine). Despite their nonionic nature, the amide groups of asparagine and glutamine are markedly polar. 

In addition to the amino acids described above, several other amino acid residues are also reactive toward compounds containing heavy atoms. These are the side chains of arginine, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, tryptophan, and tyrosine. Those that are not reactive are alanine, glycine, isoleucine.

Starting from resin-bound diamines 25, the parallel synthesis of 1,7-disubstituted l,3,5-triazepane-2,4-diones 26 was carried out using phenyl isocyanatoformate (Fig. 7).36 To avoid regioselectivity problems in the cyclization step, amino acids that generate reactive functionalities after reduction (asparagine, glutamine, lysine) were not included in the R1 position. 

Lysine, arginine, proline, tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine, valine, phenylalanine, leucine, glutamic acid, glycine, asparagines, threonine and alanine are found in chilli. Asparagine, glutamine, glutamic acid and tryptophan account for 95% of the free amino acids. A small amount of aspartic acid...
