I'm searching for information on and sources of H2N-CH2-SH.
2-mercaptoethylamine H2N-CH2-CH2-SH is available but one

in a protein to yield a lysine like side-chain except for the S-S.

I'm an italian student of Biotechnology, currently i'm having a
laboratory of biorganic chemistry and i'm preparing a report for this
exam.
I used p-anisaldehyde to develope my TLC sheet and i must write on my

Hey all
I was wondering if some1 can help me by suggesting a method to
synthesize 3-aza Bicyclo(3.3.0)Octane Hcl CAS # 5661-03-0
I think it goes like this

I did a TMSCl protection on a diol at a late stage in my synthesis (7
mg Start Mat. excess TMSCl, Py, DMAP, DCM/DMF = 10/1, r.t. over night)
and I obvously protected both hydroxy groups.
- one on a secundary alcohol which appeats at 0.1 ppm.

Hi, I'm new to this, so I hope I'm not addressing a question that's
posted on weekly...
I am following H.C. Brown's procedure for the preparation of
2-bromo-4,4-dimethyl-2-pentene from the analogous catecholborane alkene
