Crystal structure of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)phenylalanyldehydroalanine isopropyl ester (Boc–Phe–ΔAla–OiPr)
2014
In the crystal structure of the dehydrodipeptide (Boc-Phe-ΔAla-OiPr), the molecule has a trans configuration of the N-methylamide group. Its geometry is different from saturated peptides but is in excellent agreement with other dehydroalanine compounds. In the crystal, an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond links the molecules in a herringbone packing arrangement.
Synthesis of Tetrapeptides Containing Dehydroalanine, Dehydrophenylalanine and Oxazole as Building Blocks for Construction of Foldamers and Bioinspir…
2022
The incorporation of dehydroamino acid or fragments of oxazole into peptide chain is accompanied by a distorted three-dimensional structure and additionally enables the introduction of non-typical side-chain substituents. Thus, such compounds could be building blocks for obtaining novel foldamers and/or artificial enzymes (artzymes). In this paper, effective synthetic procedures leading to such building blocks—tetrapeptides containing glycyldehydroalanine, glycyldehydrophenylalanine, and glycyloxazole subunits—are described. Peptides containing serine were used as substrates for their conversion into peptides containing dehydroalanine and aminomethyloxazole-4-carboxylic acid while consideri…
Conformational investigation of α,β-dehydropeptides VII*. Conformation of Ac-Pro-ΔAla-NHCH3 and Ac-Pro-(E)-ΔAbu-NHCH3: comparison with (Z)-substitute…
2009
The crystal structure and solution conformation of Ac-Pro-deltaAla-NHCH3 and the solution conformation of Ac-Pro-(E)-deltaAbu-NHCH3 were investigated by X-ray diffraction method and NMR, FTIR and CD spectroscopies. Ac-Pro-deltaAla-NHCH3 adopts an extended-coil conformation in the crystalline state, with all-trans peptide bonds and the deltaAla residue being in a C5 form, phi(1)=-71.4(4), psi(1)=-16.8(4), phi(2)= -178.4(3) and psi(2)= 172.4(3) degrees. In inert solvents the peptide also assumes the C5 conformation, but a gamma-turn on the Pro residue cannot be ruled out. In these solvents Ac-Pro-(E)-deltaAbu-NHCH3 accommodates a beta(II)-turn, but a minor conformer with a nearly planar dispo…

Condensation of amides of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)- and N-(trifluoroacetyl)amino acid with pyruvic and phenylpyruvic acid yields, in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst, N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)- and N-(trifluoroacetyl)dehydro dipeptides with C-terminal Δ Ala and ΔPhe, respectively (Table 2 and 3).

Synthesis of peptides with α,β‐dehydroamino acids, V. coupling experiments with C‐terminal dehydrophenylalanine and dehydroalanine residues
1986
N-Protected model dipeptides of C-terminal (Z)-ΔPhe and ΔAla couple with glycine esters after activation with either diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA), N-cyclohexyl-N′-[2-(N-methylmorpholinio)ethyl]carbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate (WSC), N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide + 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (DCC + HOBt), or the mixed anhydride (MA) with isobutyl chlorocarbonate to give in good or mostly moderate yields the (Z)-ΔPhe-containing tripeptides 1 – 9 and ΔAla-containing tripeptides 11 – 19, respectively. In the MA and DPPA methods, further acylation products 20a – d are formed to a great extent, expecially during the ΔAla peptide syntheses. (E)-TFA-Gly-ΔPhe and Gly-OtBu, irrespective of the activati…
Association of model peptides and dehydropeptides: N-acetyl-l-alanine- and dehydroalanine N′,N′-dimethylamides
2005
Abstract The comparative studies on the association of Ac-ΔAla-NMe 2 and Ac- l -Ala-NMe 2 in carbon tetrachloride were performed by the analysis of their average molecular weight, dipole moments and FTIR spectra. To aid spectroscopic interpretation and gain some deeper insight into the nature of associates, the geometries of the minimum energy of the dimers of Ac-ΔAla-NMe 2 and Ac- l -Ala-NMe 2 were calculated by the B3LYP/6-31+G** method. The average molecular weight in the studied concentration range, for the ΔAla and l -Ala peptide, as determined by the osmometric method, did not exceed 1.5 and 1.2 of the monomeric mass, respectively. Accordingly, the percentage of the monomeric form (α)…
Conformational studies of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in positions 2 and 5 in peptide chain
2008
Conformational preferences of a group of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in Positions 2 and 5 in peptide chain were investigated by means of spectroscopic methods (NMR and CD) and theoretical calculations. In the case of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution, only peptide with free N-termini adopted rigid 310-helical conformation, for the rest of examined peptides extended and “zig-zag” conformers were predominant. CD measurements showed that only in chloroform solution the conformational freedom of investigated peptides was restricted. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 89: 691–699, 2008.

Conformational properties of N-acetyl-N-methyl-alpha,beta-dehydroalanine N'-methylamide.
2006
The conformational properties of Ac-Delta(Me)Ala-NHMe (N-acetyl-N-methyl-alpha,beta-dehydroalanine N'-methylamide), as the simplest model of N-methyl-alpha,beta-dehydroamino acids, was examined with theoretical methods and in comparison with Ac-DeltaAla-NHMe and Ac-DeltaAla-NMe(2). The N-terminal amide of the Delta(Me)Ala residue easily adopts the configuration cis and the torsion angles phi, psi are highly flexible. The Delta(Me)Ala residue is a conformational flexibilizer as compared to the parent DeltaAla, which is a conformational stiffener. This seems to be the reason why Delta(Me)Ala is found in small natural cyclic peptides, where it ensures the conformational flexibility necessary f…
