Abstract
The reaction of N-benzylidene-(2-bromomethyl)-DL-alanine ethyl ester with tributyltin hydride under free radical initiation conditions leads to N-benzylidene-2-methyl-β-alanine ethyl ester and N-benzylidene-2-methyl-DL-alanine ethyl ester. 1,2-Migration of the benzaldimino group through radical intermediates may be a chemical model for the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent lysine 2,3-aminomutase and β-lysine 5,6 aminomutase reactions
