Proline organocatalysis is the use of proline as an organocatalyst in organic chemistry. This theme is often considered the starting point for the area of organocatalysis, even though early discoveries went unappreciated. [1] Modifications, such as MacMillan’s catalyst and Jorgensen's catalysts, proceed with excellent stereocontrol. [2]: 5574 [3]
Hyperprolinemia type II results in proline levels in the blood between 10 and 15 times higher than normal, and high levels of a related compound called pyrroline-5-carboxylate. This rare form of the disorder may appear benign at times, [ 2 ] but often involves seizures, convulsions, and intellectual disability.
Proline and its derivatives are often used as asymmetric catalysts in proline organocatalysis reactions. The CBS reduction and proline catalysed aldol condensation are prominent examples. In brewing, proteins rich in proline combine with polyphenols to produce haze (turbidity).
The Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert and Barbas-List [1] reactions in organic chemistry are a family of proline-catalysed asymmetric aldol reactions.. In the 1970s, two research groups discovered (and published) almost simultaneously their discoveries of two related intramolecular reactions: Zoltan Hajos and David Parrish at Hoffmann-La Roche [2] [3] and Rudolf Wiechert et al at ...
In this reaction, naturally occurring chiral proline is the chiral catalyst in an aldol reaction. The starting material is an achiral triketone and it requires just 3% of proline to obtain the reaction product, a ketol in 93% enantiomeric excess. This is the first example of an amino acid-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction. [16] [17]
Jessie Owen was traveling with her family twelve years ago when, while going through a mountain pass, a tree fell on their car. “In that moment, my parents passed away, my siblings were severely ...
Arginine and proline metabolism is one of the central pathways for the biosynthesis of the amino acids arginine and proline from glutamate. The pathways linking arginine, glutamate, and proline are bidirectional. Thus, the net utilization or production of these amino acids is highly dependent on cell type and developmental stage.
