Abstract:
Convenient syntheses were developed to obtain on a multigram scale the novel taste enhancer N-(1-carboxyethyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridinium-3-ol 1, called alapyridaine, as a racemic mixture and as pure (+)-(S) and (-)-(R) enantiomers, respectively. 5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde was used as key intermediate and was reacted with l-alanine under alkaline conditions to obtain racemic 1. Alternatively, reductive amination of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde with Raney-Ni/hydrogen and l- or d-alanine...     »
