    Preliminary Zinc and boscalid sub lethal concentrations Zinc and boscalid sub lethal concentrations were determined by running preliminary 72‐hour LC50 exposures. A range of concentrations, resulting in 100% survival to 100% mortality was run for both chemicals in water only exposures. Filtered seawater was used as a control and to dilute stock concentrations of zinc and boscalid. Six treatments with three replicates were run for both chemicals including a control (seawater only). The zinc chloride (ZnCl2) exposure concentrations were: 62mg/L; 125mg/L; 250mg/L; 500mg/L and 1000mg/L. The commercial fungicide Filan® has 500g/kg active ingredient of boscalid, concentrations of 100mg/L; 250mg/L; 500mg/L; 750mg/L and 1000mg/L. Acid‐ rinsed 600ml glass beakers were randomly placed in a temperature‐controlled incubator at 20oC (+/‐ 1oC) with added aeration and a one ply sheet of ethanol rinsed toilet paper in each beaker as substratum. No food was added; the average pH of the water was 7.5 across treatments. The dissolved oxygen remained between 70‐100%. Zinc chloride LC50 = 125mg/L and boscalid LC50 = 750mg/L.

  • N,N-Diprotected Dehydroamino Acid Derivatives: Versatile Substrates for the Synthesis of Novel Amino Acids
    N,N-DIPROTECTED DEHYDROAMINO ACID DERIVATIVES: VERSATILE SUBSTRATES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL AMINO ACIDS Paula M. T. Ferreira and Luís S. Monteiro Department of Chemistry, University of Minho, Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. Non-proteinogenic amino acids are an important class of organic compounds that can have intrinsic biological activity or can be found in peptides with antiviral, antitumor, anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive activities. This type of compounds is also important in drug development, in the elucidation of biochemical pathways and in conformational studies. Therefore, research towards efficient methods that allow the synthesis of these compounds constitutes an important area of peptide chemistry. In our laboratories we have developed a new and high yielding method for the synthesis of N,N-diprotected dehydroamino acid derivatives using tert-butyl pyrocarbonate and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. These compounds were used as substrates in several types of reactions, allowing the synthesis of a variety of new amino acid derivatives. Some of these new compounds are heterocyclic systems or contain heterocyclic moieties such as pyrazole, indole, or imidazole. Thus, several nitrogen heterocycles were reacted with N,N-diprotected dehydroalanine to give new β-substituted alanines and dehydroalanines. Furanic amino acids were obtained treating the methyl ester of N-(4-toluenesulfonyl), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) dehydroalanine with carbon nucleophiles of the β-dicarbonyl type having at least one methyl group attached to one of the carbonyl groups. Treatment of these furanic amino acids with trifluoracetic acid afforded pyrrole derivatives in good to high yields. A N,N-diprotected 1,4-dihydropyrazine was obtained reacting the methyl ester of N-(4-toluenesulfonyl), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)dehydroalanine with 4-dimethylaminopyridine and an excess of potassium carbonate.

For the structures and properties of the standard proteinogenic amino acids, see Proteinogenic amino acid. Amino acidsarebiologically important organic compoundscontaining amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid(- COOH) functional groups, usually along with a side-chain specific to each aminoacid.[1][2][3] The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, andnitrogen, though other elements are found in the side-chains of certain amino acids. About 500 amino acids are known and can be classified in many ways.[4] They can be classified according to the core structural functional groups' locations as alpha- (α-), beta- (β-), gamma- (γ-) or delta- (δ-) amino acids; other categories relate to polarity, pHlevel, and side-chain group type (aliphatic,acyclic, aromatic, containing hydroxyl orsulfur, etc.).
