Abstract

Some S-, N-, and S,N-hydroxyalkyl derivatives of cysteine, homocysteine, cystine, and methionine were prepared by the reaction of alkylene oxides or alkylene carbonates with the amino acids under basic conditions. S-Mercaptoalkyl derivatives of cysteine were obtained by a similar reaction with alkylene sulfides.
