1988

N-Phenylacetyl-(PhAc-)-aminosauren werden mit Aminosauremethyl-, -benzyl-, -allyl- und -tert-butylestern mit Hilfe des modifizierten Carbodiimidverfahrens oder unter Verwendung von EEDQ in guten Ausbeuten zu vollgeschutzten Dipeptiden verknupft. Der PhAc-Rest ist bei den Abspaltungen der C-terminalen Schutzgruppen stabil, kann jedoch aus den Peptiden unter nahezu neutralen Bedingungen selektiv mit Penicillin-Acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) abgelost werden. Das Enzym hydrolysiert den PhAc-Rest auch aus der 2-Position von acetylgeschutzter Glucose, der 3-Position von Di-O-isopropylidenglucose und der primaren OH-Gruppe von Di-O-isopropyliden-L-sorbose. Bei den enzymatischen Abspaltungsreaktionen bleibe…

Protecting Groups

1991

There is hardly any area of preparative organic chemistry in which the proper use of protecting groups is not a prerequisite for the successful achievement of the goals aimed at. For this reason such blocking functions have been developed for nearly 100 years by numerous researchers from all disciplines of organic chemistry, and consequently solutions to the existing problems have been devised, making use of various synthetic transformations. It was Fischer who, among his many important contributions to chemistry, first realized that the application of protecting functions is often a necessity for a successful synthesis. Thus, he introduced the isopropylidene ketal in carbohydrate chemistry…

Naturstoffsynthese am polymeren Träger – Synthese und biologische Evaluierung einer Indolactam-Bibliothek

ChemInform Abstract: SYNTHESIS OF THE GLYCOPEPTIDE PARTIAL SEQUENCE A80-A84 OF HUMAN FIBROBLAST INTERFERON

1985

The glycopentapeptide H-(GlcNAcβ1-)Asn-Glu-Thr-Ile-Val-OH (10) representing the partial sequence A80–A84 of human fibroblast interferon was synthesized using the newly developed allyl-ester protection of carboxy functions. The allyl esters, which are stable to acids and to bases, can be cleaved under very mild, neutral conditions using tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride or tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) as a catalyst. This synthetic method opens up a preparative route to glycopeptide model structures of glycoproteins of high biological interest.

Prolin-benzylester als chirale Hilfsgruppen in asymmetrischen 1,3-dipolaren Cycloadditionen mit Nitriloxiden

1990

Proline Benzyl Esters as Chiral Auxiliaries in Asymmetric 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions N-Acryloylproline benzyl ester (1b) reacts with nitrile oxides at temperatures from −78 to 0°C to give isoxazolines 4/5 with diastereomeric ratios of ca. 3:1 and with the (5S) isomer as the predominating. The corresponding N-methacryloylproline benzyl ester (1c) gives inferior results. The diastereoselectivity is not influenced by the temperature and the substituents of the nitrile oxides. To prove the absolute configuration of the predominating stereoisomer, a reaction sequence is developed which makes use of an enantioselective hydrolysis with pig liver esterase as the key step to generate an optically ac…

Aminosäureester als chirale Hilfsgruppen in Lewis-Säure-katalysierten Diels-Alder-Reaktionen

1990

Amino Acid Esters as Chiral Auxiliaries in Lewis Acid Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reactions Cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene and alkyl-substituted butadienes react with N-acryloyl-, N-crotonoyl- and N-(4-nitro-cinnamoyl)-(S)-proline benzyl and allyl ester in the presence of Lewis acids to give the cycloadducts in high yields and with stereoselectivities of up to 97:3 for the endo isomers. The sense of the asymmetric induction in these reactions can be directed by the use of differently coordinating catalysts (e.g. TiCl4: (2R):(2S) = 96:4; EtAlCl2: (2R):(2S) = 10:90 at 0°C). In the TiCl4-catalyzed reactions with the fumaric acid derivatives the ratio of the diastereomers reaches values of up to 112…

The Allyl Ester as Carboxy-Protecting Group in the Stereoselective Construction of Neuraminic-Acid Glycosides

1988

The application of the allyl-ester moiety as protecting principle for the carboxy group of N-acetylneuraminic acid is described. Peracetylated allyl neuraminate 2 is synthesized by reacting the caesium salt of the acid 1 with allyl bromide. Treatment of 2 with HCl in AcCl or with HF/pyridine gives the corresponding 2-chloro or 2-fluoro derivatives 3 and 4, respectively (Scheme 1). In the presence of Ag2CO3, the 2-chloro carbohydrate 3 reacts with di-O-isopropylidene-protected galactose 5 to give the 2–6 linked disaccharide with the α-D-anomer 6a predominating (α-D/β-D = 6:1; Scheme 2). Upon activation of the 2-fluoro derivative 4 with BF3 · Et2O, the β-D-anomer 6b is formed preferentially (…

Allylester als selektiv abspaltbare Carboxyschutzgruppen in der Peptid- undN-Glycopeptidsynthese

1983

Allylester eignen sich als Schutz der Carboxyfunktion bei Peptid- und N-Glycopeptidsynthesen und konnen von Aminosauren einfach hergestellt werden. Unter den Bedingungen der Boc- und Z-Gruppenabspaltung im Sauren sind die Allylester bestandig. Durch Behandlung mit katalytischen Mengen von Tris(triphenylphosphan)rhodium(I)-chlorid in Ethanol/wasser (9:1) werden sie im neutralen bis schwach basischen Milieu schonend gespalten. Der N-terminale Schutz und die N-glycosidische Bindung bleiben dabei unverandert erhalten. Die dadurch mogliche selektive Deblockierung der α-Carboxyfunktion geschutzter N-glycosylierter Asparagin-Derivate 15 wird zur gezielten C-terminalen Kettenverlangerung zu N-Glyco…

Asymmetric synthesis of bicyclic amino acid derivatives by Aza-Diels-Alder reactions in aqueous solution

1991

Derivatives 7–10 and 13–16 of methyl and ethyl 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-3-carboxylates are synthesized by Aza-Diels-Alder reactions of chiral iminium ions, formed in situ from glyoxylic acid and chiral amines, with cyclopentadiene. Whereas the heterodienophiles derived from phenylglycinol and esters of sterically more demanding amino acids fail to undergo asymmetric cycloadditions, with alanine methyl ester and (R)-1-phenylethylamine hydrochoride the cycloadducts are formed in yields of 15 and 52%, respectively, reaching de values of up to 90:10 for the exo isomers.

Aminosäureester als chirale Hilfsgruppen bei Barbier-Reaktionen in wäßriger Lösung

1991

Amino Acid Esters as Chiral Auxiliaries in Barbier-Type Reactions in Aqueous Solution Valine and proline benzyl ester are converted into the aliphatic and aromatic α-oxo amides 5 by activation of the respective α-oxo acid by means of N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide. The α-oxo amides 5 undergo Barbier-type reactions with differently substituted allyl halides in the presence of zinc and pyridinium toluenesulfonate in water/THF (2:1, v/v) at 4°C. Thereby, the α-hydroxy amides 8/9 are formed in high yields and, in the case of the proline ester amides, with diastereomer ratios of 4–6:1. In the absence of any allyl halide, or if the addition of the allyl moiety to the carbonyl groups is only slow, t…

Solid-Phase Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a Teleocidin Library—Discovery of a Selective PKC Down Regulator

2000

Protein kinaseC (PKC) is linked to the signal-induced modulation of a wide variety of cellular processes, such as growth, differentiation, secretion, apoptosis, and tumor development. The design and synthesis of small molecules that regulate these different cellular signaling systems is at the forefront of modern drug design. Herein we report a) an efficient method for the synthesis of indolactamV (6), a PKC activator, and its N13-des(methyl) analogues (19) using a regioselective organometallic transformation, a convenient aminomalonate derivative (10) to introduce the appropriate functionality and an enantiospecific enzymic hydrolysis as key steps; b) the use of this method in the first so…

Chemoenzymatische „Chiral-Pool”-Synthese von (+)-exo-Brevicomin aus Kohlenhydraten mit Fructose-1,6-diphosphat-Aldolase

1990

Chemoenzymatic “Chiral-Pool” Synthesis of (+)-exo-Brevicomin from Carbohydrates Using Fructose 1,6-Diphosphate Aldolase Fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) catalyzes the stereospecific aldol reaction between 1,3-dihydroxyacetone phosphate (4) and 5-oxohexanal (3) or its 5-dithiane-protected analog 8. The products of the aldol reactions are dephosphorylated with acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). Whereas the aldol adduct of 3 cyclizes spontaneously to give the bicyclic brevicomin precursor 3, the adduct of 8 first has to be deprotected with sulfuryl chloride and wet silica gel. The resulting bicyclic α-hydroxy ketone 3 is reduced with LiAlH4 to form the 1,2-diol 14 which is then deox…
