Abstract
A novel β-amino acid having (thymin-1-yl)methyl functionality at the α-position, a useful component of α-substituted β-homoalanyl peptide nucleic acids (β 2 -PNAs), was synthesized as a protected form from 2-(N 3 -benzoylthymin-1-yl)methyl-1,3-propanediol via enzymatic desymmetrization catalyzed by lipase PS.
