Formylglycine

White solid

N-formylglycine is an N-acylglycine resulting from the formal condensation of the amino group of glycine with formic acid. It is a N-formyl amino acid and a N-acylglycine.

General procedure: Formic acid (140mL, 3.71mol) and acetic anhydride (47mL, 0.50mol) were stirred at 45°C for 1h. After the addition of the appropriate amino acid (0.05mol), the mixture was left stirring at room temperature for 24h, and evaporated until dryness.Glycine (5.20 g, 69.23 mmol) was dissolved in formic acid (25 mL), was added acetic anhydride (3.0 eq, 21.3 mL), was stirred for 24 hours at room temperature the reaction. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, recrystallized by adding methanol and ethyl acetate, the corresponding formamide (1a) was obtained (4.81 g, 46.66 mmol, 67percent).Compound 1a (0.95 g, 9.18 mmol) and, DMF (20 mL) inAt, benzyl bromide (1.5 eq, 1.64 mL) and potassium carbonate (3.2 eq, 3.99 g) and, at room temperatureIt was stirred for 48 hours. After completion of the reaction, water is added to inactivate the reaction mixture, with ethyl acetateExtracted. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressureIt was carried out. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane: ethyl acetate = 1: 1 → 1: 9) To give the corresponding benzyl ester (1b) (400 mg, was obtained 2.02 mmol, 22percent).Compound 1b (514.8 mg, 2.66 mmol) was added in DCM (10 mL), the mixture obtained (PhO) 2POCl (1.5 eq, 582 μL) and pyridine (5.0 eq, 1.88 mL) was added, and 2.5 hours with stirring to line the reactionWas Tsu. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer, hydrochloric acid, carbonSodium acid hydrogen, water, and successively washed with saturated brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, After filtration, it was concentrated under reduced pressure.General procedure: To model the chemical environment on the outer side of thetubular structures, NH2CHO (200 μL) was mixed with thesodium silicate solution (2.0 mL) in the presence of preformedMSH [ZnCl2, FeCl2·4H2O, CuCl2·2H2O, Fe2(SO4)3·9H2O, and MgSO4] (2.0percent w/w) at 80 °C for 24 h. In two selectedcases [FeCl2 and Fe2(SO4)3·9H2O], NH2CHO (200 μL) wasmixed with the sodium silicate solution (2.0 mL) in the presence of selected growing MSH (starting from 2.0percent w/w ofthe corresponding salt’s pellet) at 80 °C for 24 h. For the innerenvironment, NH2CHO (200 μL) was mixed with distilledwater (2.0 mL) in the presence of selected MSH (2.0percent w/w) at80 °C for 24 h. The reaction of NH2CHO (10percent v/v) with thesodium silicate solution (pH 12) without MSH membranes wasalso analyzed under similar experimental conditions. Theproducts were analyzed by gas chromatography associatedwith mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after treatment with N, Nbis-trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetamide in pyridine (620 μL) at 60°C for 4 h in the presence of betulinol (CAS Registry Number473-98-3) as the internal standard (0.2 mg). Mass spectrometrywas performed by the following program: injection temperature280 °C, detector temperature 280 °C, gradient 100 °C for 2min, and 10 °C/min for 60 min. To identify the structure of theproducts, two strategies were followed. First, the spectra werecompared with commercially available electron mass spectrumlibraries such as NIST (Fison, Manchester, U.K.). Second, GCMSanalysis was repeated with standard compounds. Allproducts have been recognized with a similarity index (SI)greater than 98percent compared to that of the reference standards.The analysis was limited to products of ≥1 ng/mL, and theyield was calculated as micrograms of product per startingformamide.
