Their physical properties are similar to those of the extracel- lular matrix (ECM), which is key to their applications in the cell culture of specialized cells, tissue engineering, skin regeneration, and wound healing. The structure of these hydrogels usually consists of a di- or tripeptide capped on the N-terminus with a hydrophobic aromatic group, such as Fmoc or naphthalene. Although these peptide conjugates can offer advantages over other types of gelators such as cross-linked polymers, they usually possess the limitation of being particularly sensitive to proteolysis by endogenous proteases. One of the strategies reported that can overcome this barrier is to use a peptidomimetic strategy, in which natural amino acids are switched for non-proteinogenic analogues, such as D-amino acids, β-amino acids, or dehydroamino acids. Such peptides usually possess much greater resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis. Peptides containing dehydroamino acids, Citation: Jervis, P.J.; Amorim, C.; i.e., dehydropeptides, are particularly interesting, as the presence of the double bond also intro- Pereira, T.; Martins, J.A.; Ferreira, duces a conformational restraint to the peptide backbone, resulting in (often predictable) changes P.M.T.

    Turk J Chem 34 (2010) , 181 – 186. c TUB¨ ITAK˙ doi:10.3906/kim-0904-14 Highly stereoselective and efficient synthesis of the dopa analogue in pepticinnamin E via enantioselective hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids Dequn SUN Marine College, Shandong University at Weihai, Weihai 264209, P. R. CHINA e-mail: [email protected] Received 13.04.2009 An efficient and new method was developed to prepare the dopa analogue 11 in natural pepticinnamin via catalytic hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids (DDAA) with a good yield and ee. Product 11 is a key intermediate towards the total synthesis of pepticinnamin E and its analogues. Key Words: Synthesis; dopa analogue; enantioselective hydrogenation; dehydroamino acid. Introduction Pepticinnamin E1 (Figure) is a major product of the pepticinnamins, which are isolated from the culture of Streptomyces sp. OH-4652. It was identified as a depsipeptide having an O − Z -pentenylcinnamin acid and a novel dopa analogue, whose configuration has been determined as S by the Waldmann group using the Sch¨ollkopf method. 2 Pepticinnamin E shows rather potent inhibitory activity against farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) with an IC 50 of 0.3 μM and is the first competitive inhibitor derived from a natural product. Our interest in the exploitation of a new methodology to synthesise naturally bioactive peptides containing non-ribosomal amino acids led us to initiate the synthesis of pepticinnamin E (1). Emphasis was placed on preparing both dopa analogue 2 and O − Z -pentenylcinnamin acid. 3 This study reports the enantioselective synthesis of the precursor of the dopa analogue 2, which would be suitable for the total synthesis of pepticinnamin E and its analogues.

Monteiro* and Ana S. Suárez Chemistry Centre, University of Minho, Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal Author’s address: L. S. Monteiro, Chemistry Centre, University of Minho, Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal, Fax: +351 253604382, e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract. Recently we reported the use of a sequence of alkylation and dehydration methodologies to obtain N-ethyl-- dehydroamino acid derivatives. The application of this N-alkylation procedure to several methyl esters of -dibromo and - bromo, -substituted dehydroamino acids protected with standard amine protecting groups was subsequently reported. The corresponding N-ethyl, -bromo dehydroamino acid derivatives were obtained in fair to high yields and some were used as substrates in Suzuki cross coupling reactions to give N-ethyl, -disubstituted dehydroalanine derivatives. Herein, we further explore N-ethylation of -halo dehydroamino acid derivatives using triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate as alkylating agent but substituting N,N-diisopropylethylamine for potassium tert-butoxide as auxiliary base. In these conditions, for all -halo dehydroamino acid derivatives, reactions were complete and the N-ethylated derivative could be isolated in high yield. This method was also applied for N-ethylation of non-halogenated dehydroamino acids. Again, with all compounds the reactions were complete and the N-ethyl dehydroamino acid derivatives could be isolated in high yields. Some of these N-ethyl dehydroamino acid methyl ester derivatives were converted in high yields to their corresponding acids and coupled to an amino acid methyl ester to give N-ethyl dehydrodipeptide derivatives in good yields.

  • N,N-Diprotected Dehydroamino Acid Derivatives: Versatile Substrates for the Synthesis of Novel Amino Acids
    N,N-DIPROTECTED DEHYDROAMINO ACID DERIVATIVES: VERSATILE SUBSTRATES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL AMINO ACIDS Paula M. T. Ferreira and Luís S. Monteiro Department of Chemistry, University of Minho, Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. Non-proteinogenic amino acids are an important class of organic compounds that can have intrinsic biological activity or can be found in peptides with antiviral, antitumor, anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive activities. This type of compounds is also important in drug development, in the elucidation of biochemical pathways and in conformational studies. Therefore, research towards efficient methods that allow the synthesis of these compounds constitutes an important area of peptide chemistry. In our laboratories we have developed a new and high yielding method for the synthesis of N,N-diprotected dehydroamino acid derivatives using tert-butyl pyrocarbonate and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. These compounds were used as substrates in several types of reactions, allowing the synthesis of a variety of new amino acid derivatives. Some of these new compounds are heterocyclic systems or contain heterocyclic moieties such as pyrazole, indole, or imidazole. Thus, several nitrogen heterocycles were reacted with N,N-diprotected dehydroalanine to give new β-substituted alanines and dehydroalanines. Furanic amino acids were obtained treating the methyl ester of N-(4-toluenesulfonyl), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) dehydroalanine with carbon nucleophiles of the β-dicarbonyl type having at least one methyl group attached to one of the carbonyl groups. Treatment of these furanic amino acids with trifluoracetic acid afforded pyrrole derivatives in good to high yields. A N,N-diprotected 1,4-dihydropyrazine was obtained reacting the methyl ester of N-(4-toluenesulfonyl), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)dehydroalanine with 4-dimethylaminopyridine and an excess of potassium carbonate.

  • 1 the Historical Development of Asymmetric Hydrogenation
    1 1 The Historical Development of Asymmetric Hydrogenation John M. Brown Chemistry Research Laboratory, University of Oxford, 12 Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TA, UK 1.1 Introduction How did chemists gain the current levels of knowledge and expertise for control- ling molecular chirality through hydrogenation or otherwise? The desirability of asymmetric synthesis was recognized in the 1880s by Emil Fischer and others, but practical solutions only arose more than 80 years later. The key reasons are explored here. This brief review has five main Sections 1.2–1.6, covering first the development of ideas underpinning our understanding of asymmetry, then the initial applications to asymmetric synthesis, and also the development of asymmetric heterogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes. The final sections on asymmetric homogeneous hydro- genation of alkenes are limited to work published in or before the early 1980s, in advance of extensive developments, and thus excluding the important inputs of irid- ium catalysts and more recently early transition metals. 1.2 Early Work on the Recognition of Molecular Asymmetry Chemistry was an emerging science by the beginning of the nineteenth century with many opportunities for fundamental discovery. At that time scientists crossed dis- ciplines easily; optics and mineralogy played important roles because of the ready accessibility and verifiable purity of solid substances. Malus had invented the first polarimeter in 1808, enabling measurement of both the sense and magnitude of rota- tion of plane-polarized light [4]. Following this, work by Arago and others on the interaction of polarized light with minerals intensified in the following decade [5]. Haüy had earlier concluded that each type of crystal has a fundamental primitive, nucleus or “integrant molecule” of a particular shape, that could not be broken fur- ther without destroying both the physical and chemical nature of the crystal.

The only way to study structure-function relationships of a protein at the atomic level without any perturbation is by using non-invasive isotope sensitive techniques with site-directed stable isotope incorporation at a predetermined amino acid residue in the protein chain. The method can be extended to study the protein chain tagged with stable isotope enriched amino acid residues at any position or combinations of positions in the system. In order to access these studies synthetic methods to prepare any possible isotopologue and isotopomer of the 22 genetically encoded amino acids have to be available. In this paper the synthetic schemes and the stable isotope enriched building blocks that are available via commercially available stable isotope enriched starting materials are described.

  • Benzophenone Schiff Bases of Glycine Derivatives: Versatile Starting Materials for the Synthesis of Amino Acids and Their Derivatives
    ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ODonnell Benzophenone Schiff Bases MS Ghosez Revd 031419.doc Benzophenone Schiff Bases of Glycine Derivatives: Versatile Starting Materials for the Synthesis of Amino Acids and Their Derivatives Martin J. O’Donnell Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN 46250 USA Abstract This review focuses on the introduction and early development, in solution, of phase-transfer catalyzed (PTC) reactions to afford racemic or enantioenriched natural and unnatural amino acids. To form monosubstituted amino acids alkylation reactions are performed on the benzophenone Schiff base of glycine. For α,α-disubstituted amino acids the activated intermediate is an aldimine derivative of the monosubstituted amino acid. Enantioenriched products are produced by organocatalysis using derivatives of Cinchona alkaloids as the phase- transfer catalyst. Selectivity for monoalkylatation and lack of product racemization depend on the acidities of the glycine imines, and dialkylated products are formed from aldimine esters of monoalkyl amino acids. The racemic and catalytic enantioselective reactions of a cationic glycine equivalent with organoboranes, organometallics and malonate anion are discussed as are other reactions of these versatile Schiff bases derivatives.
