Synthesis of Histidine‐Containing Oligopeptides via Histidine‐Promoted Peptide Ligation

Histidine‐containing peptides are valuable therapeutic agents for a treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the synthesis of histidine‐containing peptides is not trivial due to the potential of imidazole sidechain of histidine to act as a nucleophile if unprotected. A peptide ligation method utilizing the imidazole sidechain of histidine has been developed. The key imidazolate intermediate that acts as an internal acyl transfer catalyst during ligation is generated by deprotonation. Transesterification with amino acids or peptides tethered with C‐terminal thioester followed by N→N acyl shifts led to the final ligated products. A range of histidine‐containing dipeptides could be synthesized in moderate to good yields via this method without protecting the imidazole sidechain. The protocol was further extended to tripeptide synthesis via a long‐range N→N acyl transfer, and tetrapeptide synthesis.

Peptide-Chain Elongation Using Unprotected Amino Acids in a Micro-Flow Reactor

Conventional peptide synthesis requires a deprotection step after each amidation step, which decreases synthetic efficiency. Therefore, peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acids is considered an ideal approach. Here, we report peptide chain elongation using unprotected amino acids via a mixed carbonic anhydride. Micro-flow technology enabled rapid mixing of an organic layer containing a protected amino acid or dipeptide and an aqueous layer containing an unprotected amino acid or dipeptide to accelerate the desired amidation, and this approach successfully suppressed undesired racemization/epimerization (≤0.4 %). Various di-, tri-, and tetra-peptides were obtained in good to high yields. This is the first report on peptide chain elongation that proceeds without severe racemization from unprotected amino acids using inexpensive, nonexplosive, less wasteful, and less toxic reagents.

Arylboronic acids and arylpinacolboronate esters in Suzuki coupling reactions involving indoles. Partner role swapping and heterocycle protection

Yields of Suzuki couplings involving indoles depended upon (i) whether arylboronic acids or arylpinacolboronate esters were used, (ii) whether the heterocycle was the aryl halide or the arylboron coupling partner, and (iii) whether the heterocycle was protected or not. Highest yields, which were unaffected by incorporating Boc or Tos protection at the heterocyclic nitrogen, were obtained when indole bromides were reacted with phenylboronic acids. When indolylboronic acids were reacted with phenyl bromides, yields were somewhat lower and depended on the nitrogen substituent, being highest in the absence of protection, lower in the presence of the Boc group, and lowest of all with the Tos group. Arylpinacolboronate esters were less reactive than arylboronic acids. They required considerably longer reaction times and furnished generally lower yields of biaryl. Furthermore, irrespective of whether the heterocycle was the aryl bromide or the arylpinacolboronate ester, these yields were highest when it was protected with the Tos group. Yields were lower with the Boc group, and unprotected heterocycles gave only traces of biaryl. Careful selection of arylboron reagent, of coupling partner roles, and of protecting groups are essential to ensuring optimum results in these Suzuki couplings. These results may also be relevant to couplings involving other substrates.     

Synthesis of tetrazole analogues of amino acids using Fmoc chemistry: isolation of amino free tetrazoles and their incorporation into peptides

An efficient synthesis of tetrazole analogues of amino acids starting from N^α-Fmoc amino acid in a three-step protocol is reported.

The synthesis of analogues of aspartic and glutamic acids in which the 5-tetrazolyl moiety is inserted at the β/γ carboxyl group starting from Fmoc-Asn and Fmoc-Gln and the incorporation of these tetrazoles into peptides are also described.     

Facile Synthesis of Novel Amino Acids Derivatives as Potential Antibacterial Agents using Sustainable Materials

Following the principles of green chemistry, cardanol derivatives have been used as renewable, low‐cost, and available natural starting materials to construct a variety of protected and unprotected amino acids derivatives. The reaction of cardanol derivatives with different phthaloylamino acids including glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, and valine in the presence N,N'‐ dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC ) as coupling reagent afforded high yields of the target compounds. Deprotection of phthaloylamino acids derivatives was achieved by heating with hydrazine hydrate. The chemical structures of all products were confirmed by spectral data (IR , MS , ¹H NMR , ¹³C NMR ) and elemental analyses. Antibacterial evaluation of the synthesized products was performed, which exhibited potent to weak activity in comparison with a standard drug.

3-(Diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one (DEPBT): a new coupling reagent with remarkable resistance to racemization

[formula: see text] The new crystalline phosphate reagent 3-(diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one (DEPBT) mediates amide bond formation with a remarkable resistance to racemization. Comparative racemization studies were carried out and DEPBT proved to be superior to typical phosphonium and uronium coupling reagents. DEPBT is easily prepared and is exceedingly stable with a shelf life of months at room temperature. The advantageous properties of DEPBT render it a useful and unique addition to the arsenal of coupling reagents.     

Pentaerythrityltetramine scaffolds for solid-phase combinatorial chemistry

Straightforward synthesis for two pentaerythrityltetramine precursors, 2,2-bis(azidomethyl)propane-1,3-diamine (1) and 2-[N-(allyloxycarbonyl)aminomethyl]-2-azidomethylpropane-1,3-diamine (2), has been described. Both propane-1,3-diamines have been attached by reductive amination to a solid-supported backbone amide linker derived from 4-(4-formyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxy)butyric acid. The presence of the two methoxy substituents on the linker is essential to avoid cross-linking between two linkers. The remaining free primary amino group of the propane-1,3-diamine moiety may then be selectively acylated with an appropriately protected amino acid using conventional N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/1-hydroxybenzotriazole (DCC/HOBt) activation without any interference by the secondary amino function. The latter group may be subsequently acylated by an anhydride method. Sequential reduction of the azido group and removal of the allyloxycarbonyl protection from 2 allow further coupling of two different amino acids, and hence, this handle may be utilized in construction of branched structures containing four different amino acids or peptides. Solid-supported 1 may, in turn, be used for the synthesis of similar constructs containing two identical branches. It is worth noting that no acid-labile protecting groups are required in this approach, and hence, this dimension may be saved for the cleavage of the linker. The applicability of the scaffolds to library synthesis has been demonstrated by preparation of 11 pentaerythrityl-branched tetra- and octapeptides.     

Solid-phase peptide synthesis in water. Part 3: A water-soluble N-protecting group, 2-[phenyl(methyl)sulfonio]ethoxycarbonyl tetrafluoroborate, and its application to solid phase peptide synthesis in water

Chemical synthesis of peptides has been performed in various organic solvents, but the safe disposal of organic solvents is now an important environmental issue. Our aim is to be able to perform solid-phase peptide synthesis in water. For this, we have designed a new water-soluble N-protecting group, 2-[phenyl(methyl)sulfonio]ethoxycarbonyl (Pms), and have studied its introduction onto amino acids. Pms-amino acids were prepared by treating 2-(phenylthio)ethoxycarbonyl amino acids with methyl iodide in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate. Because sulfur-containing amino acids, such as Met and Cys, were modified by the reaction, we designed a new reagent, 2-[phenyl(methyl)sulfonio]ethyl-4-nitrophenyl carbonate, to introduce the Pms group on amino acids. This reagent is a stable crystalline material and its introduction onto amino acids (including sulfur-containing amino acids) was successful. The solid-phase synthesis of Leu- and Met-enkephalin amides using Pms-protected amino acids was successfully achieved in water.     

Simultaneous protection and activation of amino acids using propargyl pentafluorophenyl carbonate

[reaction: see text] A very efficient method for the simultaneous protection of the amino group and activation of the carboxyl group of amino acids is reported using propargyl pentafluorophenyl carbonate (PocOPfp). The amino group is protected as a propargyloxycarbonyl (Poc) derivative, and the carboxyl group is activated as a pentafluorophenyl ester. The yields obtained are good to excellent ranging from 60 to 87%.     

Straightforward, racemization-free synthesis of peptides with fairly to very bulky di- and trisubstituted glycines

Several fully protected tri- and pentapeptides containing a central symmetrical α,α-dialkyl glycine residue, with the alkyl group varying from methyl or ethyl to benzyl, were synthesized in good yields by a strategy based on the Ugi-Passerini reaction. Each Ugi-Passerini adduct was selectively cleaved and the product submitted to an assisted N,N′-dicyclohehylcarbodiimide coupling to an amino acid or dipeptide ester, respectively. Tripeptides as the above but containing a 4-methoxybenzyl group at the nitrogen atom of the central residue were also synthesized in fair to good yields by N-[(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-(dimethylamino)methylene]-N-methylmethanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide assisted couplings. The results reported here show that our strategy is appropriate for routine synthesis of peptides incorporating these moieties.     

Total synthesis of cyclosporin O both in solution and in the solid phase using novel thiazolium-, immonium-, and pyridinium-type coupling reagents: BEMT, BDMP, and BEP

Cyclosporin O (1), an extensively N-methylated immunosuppressive cyclic undecapeptide isolated from Tolypocladium inflatum Gams, was synthesized in 20-23% overall yield via 4 + 7 segment condensation and cyclization by the combined utilization of novel thiazolium- and immonium-type peptide coupling reagents 2-bromo-3-ethyl-4-methyl thiazolium tetrafluoroborate (BEMT) and 5-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yloxy)-3,4-dihydro-1-methyl 2H-pyrrolium hexachloroantimonate (BDMP) as well as compound 2-bromo-1-ethyl pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BEP). BEMT and BEP, which have been proven to be very efficient for the coupling of peptide segments containing N-alkylated amino acid residues with respect to the fast reaction speed, low racemization, and high yields, were used to construct hindered amide bonds in CsO with the addition of HOAt, whereas the most efficient HOBt-derived immonium type reagent, BDMP, was used to perform the coupling of coded amino acids in CsO. Thus, the highly hindered protected 8-11 tetrapeptide 25 was successfully synthesized using BEMT in 65% yield, and the 1-7 heptapeptide 21 was obtained in 52-55% yield by the rationally combined utilization of BDMP, BEMT, and BEP. The synthesis of the linear undecapeptide 27 of CsO in the solid phase using BEMT and BEP was accomplished for the further evaluation of the effectiveness of these reagents.     

Template-free segmental synthesis of oligonucleotides containing nonnative linkages

Protected oligonucleotides containing 3'-alkyl carboxylic acids or 3'-alkylamines were obtained from photolabile solid-phase synthesis supports (1 and 4). Protected oligonucleotides containing 5'-alkylamines and 3'-hydroxyl groups were obtained using a photolabile solid-phase synthesis support (2) and a commercially available phosphoramidite reagent (3). Depending upon the source of alkylamine-containing oligonucleotide, the segments were coupled under mild conditions to form products containing either 5'-3' or 3'-3' linkages in good yield and high purity. Oligonucleotides as long as 40 nucleotides were prepared, and coupling yields of protected biopolymer segments were independent of length over the range examined. This method is particularly well suited for the convergent synthesis of oligonucleotides containing nonnative linkages and should be useful for the rapid assembly of modified biopolymers that are useful in biochemical studies.     

Improved solid-phase peptide synthesis method utilizing alpha-azide-protected amino acids

[structure: see text]. Pure alpha-azido acids were prepared using an efficient diazo transfer method followed by buffered workup. These building blocks were used to prepare small peptides on Wang resin by two approaches. Peptides prone to diketopiperazine formation were prepared in good yields by coupling acids to resin bound iminophosphoranes during Fmoc-Wang synthesis. The iminophosphoranes can also be hydrolyzed under neutral conditions to provide unprotected amines ready for further coupling.
