Abstract

A number of new β-(N-alkylamino) alanines have been synthesized from acetyldehydroalanine. Using keratin as a cystine-containing protein, it has been shown that, on treatment with a series of amines, β-(N alkylamino) alanine residues are formed in varying amounts in the protein, depending on the structure of amines applied.
