Amino acids derivatives that stabilize secondary structures of polypeptides-- : I. Synthesis of LL-3-amino-2-piperidone-6-carboxylic acid (LL-Acp), a novel beta-turn-forming amino acid

A six-step synthesis is reported of $\text{LL}$-3-amino-2-piperidone-6-carboxylic acid from $\text{L}$-homoserine lactone and the $\text{mono}$-$\text{t}$-butyl ester on $\text{N}$-benzyloxycarbonylaminomalonic acid. Evidence of chiral integrity is discussed.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 2-amino-3-hydroxynorbornene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives

The enantioselective synthesis of 2-amino-3-hydroxynorbornene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives (5) was studied using the Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and different dienophiles, i.e., alkyl 5-oxo-2-phenyloxazol-4-methylenecarbonates (1) or 2-benzoylamino-3-alkoxycarbonyloxy-acrylates (12), operating with different Lewis acids and both with thermal and with ultrasound conditions. The enantioselective synthesis of the exo/endo compounds 5c,d and 5'c,d was achieved starting from the chiral menthyl acrylates 12b,c using Mg(ClO(4))(2) as the catalyst and ultrasound. The cycloadducts were obtained in very good yield, in mild conditions, in short time, and in good diastereomeric excess (exo, 80%; endo, 87%). Finally, the use of alkylidene-oxazolones or acrylates and EtAlCl(2) or Mg(ClO(4))(2) as the catalyst allowed control of the cycloaddition reaction in favor of the exo or endo products.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-3-fluoroacrylic acid containing peptides

[reaction: see text] Peptides containing (E)- and (Z)-3-fluorodehydroalanine have been prepared from serine via a fluoro-Pummerer rearrangement. The resulting electrophilic moieties may be useful affinity labels for the identification of the targets of dehydroamino acid containing natural products that act by covalent mechanisms.

Synthesis and conformation of poly(L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid-L-proline) and poly([L-proline]3-L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid)

The synthesis, characterization, and conformational assessment of poL y(L -Aze-L -Pro) and poly[(L -Pro)₃-L -Aze] are reported. The polymers were prepared by using the pentachlorophenol active ester as the polymerizable tetrapeptide derivatives. The copolymer, poly(L -Aze-L -Pro), assumes a Form II helix in polar solvents, and is converted into a form I-like helix at a critical solvent composition of ethanol to trifluoroethanol. The CD spectrum of this Form I-like conformation of poly(L -Aze-L -Pro) is similar to that of poly(trans-5-isopropyl-L -proline), indicating that the rigid four-membered ring at the alternating position can lock in the structure by a mechanism similar to that of a bulky substituent at the trans-5-position of proline. The helix conformation of this copolymer was unfolded in a 0.2M CaCl₂ aqueous solution. In contrast to poly(L -Aze-L -Pro), the copolymer of poly[(L -Pro)₃-L -Aze] contains both cis and trans peptide bond geometry when dissolved in a 90:10 ETOH-H₂O mixture. The conversion of the mixed conformation of poly[(L -Pro)₃-L -Aze)] into a polyproline Form II-like structure occurred in highly polar solvent environments such as water.     

Synthesis of peptides containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid. Part 3. Cyclization of dipeptides and amides with acetic anhydride

Treatment of protected dipeptides containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid with acetic anhydride affords only 1H,3H,5H-oxazolo[3,4-a]quinolin-3-one derivatives. The formation of a-acylaminomethylketones, arising from the competitive Dakin-West reaction, was generally observed when the cyclization procedure was extended to some amides of the cyclic imino acid. The preferential stabilization of one of two probable mesoionic intermediates seems to determine the preferred pathway.     

Structural studies on isoxazole derivatives: The crystal and molecular structures of Tetra(3-amino-5-methylisoxazole)bis(isothiocyanate)-nickel(II) and Tetra(3-amino-5-methylisoxazole)bromocopper(II) bromide

Summary The structures of the title compounds were both solved from diffractometer data by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares toR=4.63% for 3069 independent reflections for the nickel compound [triclinic,a=10.499(7),b=13.295(8),c=10.182(7) Å, =92.13(8), =103.58(7), =68.79(7)°;Z=2. Space group P1] and toR=7.98% for 772 independent reflections for the copper compound [tetragonal,a=12.939(6),c=14.991(7) Å;Z=4. Space group P4/ncc]. In the first compound two chemically equivalent, crystallographically independent molecules are present, in which each nickel atom attains an octahedral coordination involving four N(ring)-bonded isoxazole molecules and two isothiocyanate groups. In the copper compound, the metal atom shows square-pyramidal fivecoordination with the four symmetry-related organic molecules bondedvia N(ring) in the square plane and one bromide ion (the other is not coordinated) in the apical position.     

Studies on the oeearboxylation reactions. Note II. Kinetic study of the decarboxylation reaction of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxylic acid (I) to 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (III)

The rate constants of the deearboxylation reaction in water of 5-amino-1,3,4-lhiadiazole-2-carboxylic acid (I) to 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (III) over the pH range O.25-3.91 have been measured and the activation parameters determined.

Synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid

As a part of metabolic studies of mosapride ( 1 ), a potential gastroprokinetic agent, the synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid ( 7 ) as a derivative of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoic acid ( 6 ), which has served a benzoic acid part of the metabolites 4 and 5 , is described. Treatment of methyl 3-amino-4-substituted amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxybenzoate derivatives 11a-c with sodium nitrate in acidic medium gave the benzotriazole derivatives 13x,y instead of the objective 3-hydroxy counterpart. The synthesis of 7 started from o-vanillin acetate ( 15 ) and proceeded through the intermediates 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde ( 18 ), methyl 4-amino-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate ( 23 ), and methyl 7-hydroxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylate ( 30 ). Compound 30 was alternatively prepared from 23 via methyl 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyloxy-3-hydroxybenzoate ( 29 ), which is the product resulting from the migration of the ethoxycarbonyl group of methyl 4-amino-2,3-diethoxycar-bonyloxybenzoate ( 27 ).     

Bis(amino acid) derivatives of 1,4-diamino-2-butyne that adopt a C2-symmetric turn conformation

1,4-Diamino-2-butyne was prepared from 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne via 1,4-diazido-2-butyne. Bis(amino acid) derivatives of 1,4-diamino-2-butyne having the general structure (Boc-Xxx-NHCH2C[triple bond])2 (Xxx = Ala, Phe and Met) were prepared and examined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Using chemical shift, coupling constant and DMSO titration data it is found that these compounds adopt a C2-symmetric turn conformation featuring two intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

A convenient method of synthesizing 2-amino-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-3(4H)-one and its amide derivatives (4 or 5) is described through sydnone intermediate (3) derived from TIC (1) (tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid) under acidic conditions in good yield.     

Organic crystal engineering with 1,4-piperazine-2,5-diones. 6. Studies of the hydrogen-bond association of cyclo[(2-methylamino-4,7-dimethoxyindan-2-carboxylic acid)(2-amino-4,7-dimethoxyindan-2-carboxylic acid)

[structure: see text] The title 1,4-piperazine-2,5-dione was synthesized in 23% yield over six steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,7-dimethoxyindan-2-carboxylate. Crystallization by slow diffusion of ether into a chloroform solution and by slow evaporation of an ethanol-chloroform-benzene solution produced polymorphic crystalline forms as determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The polymorphs exhibited different hydrogen-bonding networks. The association of this piperazinedione in solution was studied using mass spectrometric and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. The MS and NMR data were interpreted using the solid-state structures as models for solution aggregation. Association constants extracted from the NMR data are in line with those of other cyclic cis amides in chloroform solvent.     

New 4-quinaldinol derivatives XVII. 2-Methyl-3-(3-chloro-2-buten-1-yl)-4-hydroxyquinoline-6-carboxylic acid and some of its transformations

1-(2-Methyl-4-hydroxy-6-carboxy-3-quinolinyl)-3-butanone and 1-(2-methyl-4-chloro-6-carboxy-3-quinolinyl)-3-butanone were obtained by the acid hydrolysis of 2-methyl-3-(3-chloro-2-buten-1-yl)-4-hydroxy(chloro)quinoline-6-carboxylic acids and their esters.See [6] for communication XVI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1681–1682, December, 1971.     

Coordination complexes of l-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid with platinum(II) and palladium(II)

Summary The complexes K[Pt(l-aze)Cl₂, [Pt(l-aze)₂] and [Pd(l-aze)₂] (l-aze = l-azetidine-2-carboxylate) were prepared. X-ray structures show that [Pt(l-aze)₂] and [Pd(l-aze)₂] are isomorphous, having a planar tetragonal geometry with a trans configuration around the Pt and Pd atoms. Slight puckerings of the MN(1)N(11)O(11) chelate ring (M = Pt or Pd) and the azetidine ring were observed. The circular dichroism (c.d.) spectra of the complexes in aqueous solution agree with the structures found in the solid state as far as the hexadecant rule is concerned, giving, for the trans configuration of [M(l-ia)₂] (where ia = imino acid), the profile of the c.d. signs for the three predominant d-d transitions as: +,-,-. I.r., conductivity and n.m.r. measurements are also reported and are in accord with the proposed structures.     

Preparation of 5-amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives and synthesis of compound libraries thereof

Treatment of [1,3,5]triazine-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid triethyl ester (4) with arylhydrazines provided 5-amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters 5a-g in moderate to good yields. Hydrolysis under basic conditions gave the corresponding free carboxylic acids 6a-d. Despite the relatively high number of heteroatoms present the amido as-triazine compounds 6a-d showed good solubility in phosphate buffer as determined by a lyophilization solubility assay. Building block 5a served as starting point for the syntheses of two discrete exocyclic 5-amido and 3-amido compound libraries 7 and 8, respectively.
