title: Synthesis of norbiotinamine and its derivatives.
abstract: Synthesis of norbiotinamine (II) and its reactive derivatives, isothiocyanates (III and IV), iodoacetamide (V), and maleimide (VI), are described. In addition, N-norbiotinyl-gamma-L-glutamylamide (VII) was prepared as a potential alternative to the fixable polar tracer biocytin (biotinoyllysine).
