A New Efficient Synthesis of Nicotianamine and 2'-Deoxymugineic Acid

Abstract

Nicotianamine and 2'-deoxymugineic acid, phytosiderophores, have been efficiently synthesized, which will be suitahle for large scale production of these plant physiologically important compounds.The synthetic method for 2.3"dideoxy-3"-oxomugineic acid was also investigated.Both nicotianamine (1) and 2'-deoxymugineic acid (2) are important phytosiderophores by which uptake
