Synthesis of amino acid derivatives of ethanolamine

Summary

N-Phthaloylglycylaminocthanol may be prepared in 24% yield by a modification of the Shechan carbodiimide synthesis of peptides of hydroxy amino acids (6). The amino alcohol is characterized as to melting point, solubility in various solvents, the ability to form a derivative with acetic anhydride, percentage of nitrogen, and infrared spectra. In acid solution this compound appears to undergo the aminoacyl shift characteristic of compounds containing an amide linkage and a free hydroxyl group. Attempts to isolated N-glycylaminoethanol by hydrolysis of the phthaloyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate have been unsuccessful. Impure N-phthaloylalanylaminoethanol and N-phthaloylglycylglycylaminoethanol were also synthesized by means of this procedure. Several other methods for synthesizing N-glycylaminoethanol are discussed.
