Designing Silylatedl-Amino Acids using a Wittig Strategy: Synthesis of Peptide Derivatives and18F-Labelling
2017
An efficient semisynthesis of silylated l-amino acids by reaction of silylated benzaldehydes with a phosphonium l-amino acid used as a Wittig reagent is described. The efficiency of the silylated l-amino acids in peptide synthesis was investigated by coupling both the carboxylic acid and the amino moiety with l-alanine and phenylalanine derivatives, respectively. The silylated derivatives were treated with KF or tetrabutylammonium fluoride to give the corresponding fluorosilyl derivatives without racemization. The hydrolysis of the fluorosilylated derivatives in phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 was checked. Finally, the 18F-labelling of di-tert-butylsilylated saturated and unsaturated dipeptides …
Semisynthesis of new tetrahydrofuranic alkyl ester and furano-pyrone derivatives as inhibitors of the mitochondrial complex I
2002
Abstract Methoxymethylation of altholactone ( 1 ) led to the corresponding O -methoxymethyl derivative ( 3 ) in addition to the unexpected 6,7-dihydro-7-methoxy analogue ( 4 ), and two original tetrahydrofuranic (THF) alkyl esters ( 5 , 6 ). Moreover, when we accomplished a new method for the preparation of the furano-pyrone goniofupyrone ( 7 ) through 7-hydroxylation of 1 in acid medium, a minor compound ( 8 ) with an identical skeleton to that of compounds 5 and 6 was identified. Careful examination of the published spectral data of the reported styryl-lactones with an heptolide skeleton reveals that those structures possess also a THF alkyl ester skeleton. The revision of those structure…
