A Polar18F-Labeled Amino Acid Derivative for Click Labeling of Biomolecules
2014
This work describes the synthesis and 18F-labeling of an amino acid based prosthetic group that is able to participate in copper(I)-catalyzed cycloadditions. The prosthetic group can be used for 18F labeling of biomolecules under mild conditions. The synthesis started with L-serine methyl ester, which was derivatized by introducing an alkyne moiety and a leaving group for 18F labeling. Subsequently, 18F labeling as well as deprotection conditions were screened, which resulted in an overall radiochemical yield (RCY) of around 28 %. Furthermore, the 18F-labeled prosthetic group was treated with an azido cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) peptide as a model system in very high RCY of 98 %.
Synthesis of β-d-mannosides from β-d-glucosides via an intramolecular Sn2 reaction at C-2
1992
Abstract The selective synthesis of β- d -mannosides was achieved by first synthesizing β- d -glucosides that carry a N -phenylcarbamoyl protecting group at O-3. These derivatives were transformed into the corresponding β- d -mannosides by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration at C-2, the O -triflyl group being the leaving group. Subsequent intramolecular attack of the neighboring carbamoyl group resulted in the formation of the 2,3-carbonate of the desired β d -mannoside.
Exploring new activating groups for reactive cysteine NCAs
2016
Abstract Due to its ability to reversibly crosslink proteins, cysteine has a unique role as an amino acid in nature. For controlled, asymmetric formation of disulfides from two thiols, one thiol needs to be activated. While few activating groups for cysteine have been proposed, they are usually not stable against amines making them unsuitable for solid phase peptide synthesis or amine initiated polymerization of α-amino acid-N-carboxy-anhydrides (NCAs). In this Letter we describe a series of new thiol activated cysteines, as well as their NCAs and explore the link between electron deficiency of the leaving group and control over NCA polymerization.
Alkylation of lithium dienediolates of butenoic acids. Regioselectivity effects of structure and leaving group of the alkylating agent
1998
Abstract Regioselectivity of alkylation of but-2-enoic acids 1 and 2 by alkyl halides strongly depends on the reactivity of the electrophile. High α selectivity results for saturated alkyl halides, whereas poor α-selectivity is obtained for highly reactive allyl and benzyl halides. For reactive alkylating halides selectivity is partly governed by the ion pairing aggregates of the dienediolates. Lithium bromide and the carboxylate generated in the ongoing reaction cause opposite effects on regioselectivity.
An alternative route to 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]thiete and its cycloaddition products
1998
2-(1H-Benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-1-naphthalenol (1) can be transformed in high yields to the corresponding thiol 4. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 4 leads to 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]thiete (5). The benzotriazolyl group proved to be a good leaving group; however, a subsequent nitrogen extrusion takes place under flash vacuum pyrolysis conditions and cyclopentadienecarbonitriles 6a,b are formed by a ring contraction (Scheme 1). Cycloaddition reactions of 5 and dienophiles or heterodienophiles yield the naphtho-condensed sulfur heterocycles 8, 10, 12 and 14 (Scheme 2).
Leaving Group and Regioselectivity Switches in the Aminoalkylation Reaction of Indoles and Related Heterocycles with α-Amido Sulfones
2013
The regioselective aminoalkylation of indoles and related heterocycles with α-amido sulfones under basic conditions has been studied. The reaction that employed the MeMgBr/MgBr2 system provided high yields of 3-(1-carbamoylalkyl)indoles. On the other hand, the reaction that used Cs2CO3 afforded 1-(1-carbamoylalkyl)indoles exclusively in high yields. The first reaction constitutes a switch of the leaving group of the α-amido sulfone in comparison to previously reported reactions between indoles and α-amido sulfones, which provided 3-(1-arylsulfonylalkyl)indoles. The second reaction constitutes a switch in the regioselectivity. The extensions of these C- and N-aminoalkylations starting from p…
