Description

2-Oxoazepan-3-amine is an amide with a viscosity of 1.01 cP. It is a nucleophile that reacts with the electron-rich carbon atoms in aromatic hydrocarbons. This reaction is catalysed by racemase and it can be used to determine the enantiomeric purity of l-lysine, which is a model system for amino acids. The mechanism of this reaction was studied using deuterium isotope effect and nmr spectra. The deuterium isotope effect provides evidence for transfer reactions and the nmr spectra show that the amide group exists as an equatorial plane with hydrogen bonding to the carbonyl group.
