English abstract:
Reaction of Ti(OEt)4 with lysine results in the formation of Ti(OEt)3(lysinate), as previously reported. Contrary to that, Al(OsBu)3 only catalyzes the formation of 3-aminocaprolactam, and no substitution product was observed. The reaction of Zr(OBu)4 with lysine at room temperature produced both 3-aminocaprolactam and Zr(OBu)3(lysinate); the lysinate complex was not observed when the reaction was performed at elevated temperatures.
