Application

Glycine benzyl ester is used as an organic reagent in condensing reactions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The benzyl ester group of the amino acid monomers promote kinetically controlled synthesis (KCS) of polypeptides by increasing the substrate affinity and specificity of the enzyme. It is useful in the chemoenzymatic polymerization of glycine monomers.

An O-glycodipeptide was synthesized by lengthening the peptide chain on the C-terminal side of a glycosylamino acid unit. N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-L-threonine o-nitrophenyl ester and pentachlorophenyl ester were condensed with glycine benzyl ester to give both the same glycodipeptide, [N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-L-threonyl]glycine benzyl ester (9).

The synthesis of 2-(4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzamido)acetic acid 2, a metabolite of metoclopramide 1, has been accomplished through the coupling of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid 4 with glycine benzyl ester followed by a catalytic hydrogenation. Such a metabolite could not be detected directly in the

The chemoenzymatic polymerization of amino acid monomers by proteases involves a two-step reaction: the formation of a covalent acyl-intermediate complex between the protease and the carboxyl ester group of the monomer and the subsequent deacylation of the complex by aminolysis
