Abstract
Abstract 2-Amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid was prepared via a typical malonic ester synthesis and shown to be an effective phenylalanine antagonist for Leuconostoc dextranicum but not for Escherichia coli . However, it does competitively prevent the toxicity due to thienylalanine by inhibiting the incorporation of thienylalanine in E. coli .
