tert-butyl 2-amino-2-oxoacetate

CAS: 35454-04-7

Tert-butyl 2-amino-2-oxoacetate is a chiral molecule that can be used to produce enantiomerically pure amines by enzymatic reduction of ketones. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and proceeds with high enantioselectivities. Tert-butyl 2-amino-2-oxoacetate has also been shown to be a good substrate for enzymes that reduce other carbonyl compounds, such as esters, oximes, and nitriles. The kinetic studies showed that the enzymatic reduction of tert-butyl 2-amino-2-oxoacetate was first order in both the substrate and the enzyme and had an apparent second order rate constant for the formation of tert-butanol.
