Strecker Amino Acid Synthesis

Amino acids, nature makes them, and humans have been making them as well since 1850. The first lab synthesis of amino acids was reported by Adolph Strecker, so it's called the Strecker amino acid synthesis, and despite being so ancient it still has great utility today. Although plenty of modifications have been made, so let's check those out as well!

    Dude. I have a job interview for a CTA spot in a peptide synthesis lab tomorrow, and I was looking for a relatively simple explanation on the Strecker synth. Great video!

    Hey Dave nice video! I was wondering, at 4:06, you mention the formation of a chiral salt, however the compound illustrated has no charges shown ? I get that the final compound will be ionised in biological pH but not the chiral salt you mention. Thanks in advance !

    If you look at the mechanism discussed earlier, with the ammonia, you can see that not the imine, but the protonated imine is nucleophilically attacked by the cyanide. In this example the imine is prepared beforehand, thus during the reaction it is first protonated and forms the chiral imminium phosphate adduct (salt) with the catalyst which directs the stereo selectivity. Though I haven't checked the original publication, the authors may propose a different mechanism.

    The haircut looks great. By the way, how did they prepare the pure enantiomer of the acid catalyst?

    Many more than 20, actually. There are 20 proteinogenic amino acids (amino acids that compose proteins), but far many more non-proteinogenic amino acids.
