Synthesis of lipophilic N-phosphorylmethylated amino acids and their membrane-transport properties towards some organic acids

Abstract

© 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.One-pot procedureswere developed for the synthesis of lipophilic N-(dialkylphosphorylmethyl) derivatives of natural amino acids with high yields from dioctyloxide, formaldehyde, and an amino acid in the presence of amino acid hydrochloride.Membrane transport properties of the new phosphorylated amino acids towards polyfunctional carboxylic acidswere studied. Itwas found that N,N-bis[(dioctylphosphoryl)methyl]- β-alanine is a selective extractant for glutaric acid.
