Abstract

We have realized that N-formylations of free amines of some drug leads can improve PK/PD property of parent molecules without decreasing their biological activities. In order to selectively formylate primary amines of polyfunctional molecules, we have sought a mild and convenient formylation reaction. In our screening of N-formylation of an α-amino acid, l- phenylalanine, none of formylation conditions reported to date yielded the desired HCO-l- ...
