Description

Beta-tert-butyl-L-alanine is a cyclic peptide that has opioid receptor agonist activity. It is used as a prophylactic agent for the treatment of inflammation, and is effective against amides, which are synthetic peptides. Beta-tert-butyl-L-alanine has been shown to be synthesized from the reaction of α,β-unsaturated amide with trifluoroacetic acid. The amide is synthesized by reacting an amine with propylene oxide in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction produces a beta amino ester of a carboxylic acid (e.g., acetic acid) and an alcohol (e.g., ethanol).
