Application of DEPBT on the Synthesis of the Protected Dipeptides Containing Histidine with Unprotected Imidazole Group by Solution Method

3- (Diethoxyphosphoryloxy)- 1,2,3-benzotriazln-4 (3H)-one (DE-PBT) was an organophosphorus coupling reagent developed by our group. It was an effective coupling reagent for the synthesis of protected peptides containing Tyr, Ser and Thr with unprotected hydroxy group on their side chain. The further study of the synthesis of a series of protected dipeptides containing hisfidine with unprotected imidazole group using DEPBT is reported. During the synthetic procedure, the imidazole group of histidine did not need to be protected. When the carboxyl components were N-protected aromatic amino acids or basic amino acids, the yields were relatively high (63%--81%). However,when the carboxyl components were N-protected acidic amino acids, the yields were relatively low (47%--48%). The results expanded the application of DEPBT on the synthesis of bioactive peptides containing histidine.     

One-pot Vilsmeier reagent-mediated multicomponent reaction: A direct synthesis of oxazolones and Erlenmeyer azlactones from carboxylic acids

N-Acylation of glycine with carboxylic acids was carried out by using the Vilsmeier reagent. The resulting N-acyl-α-amino acids were subsequently cyclodehydrated into oxazol-5-ones via the Vilsmeier reagent. Finally, treatment of oxazol-5-ones with aldehydes in the presence of the Vilsmeier reagent delivered Erlenmeyer azlactones. By combining these steps, using the Vilsmeier reagent allowed direct one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into oxazol-5-ones and direct one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into Erlenmeyer azlactones in the presence of aldehydes. These Vilsmeier reagent-mediated multicomponent reactions proceeded smoothly in reasonable chemical yields at room temperature. The chemical structure of the title compounds was confirmed by spectral data.

An eco-benign and highly efficient route for N-acylation of amines has been developed by treating amines with corresponding carboxylic acids in the presence of 2 mol % of heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids as catalysts under solvent-free conditions.

Moreover, recycling studies revealed that heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids were easily reusable for this N-acylation. This method provides a green and much improved protocol over the existing methods.

Applications of aziridinium ions. Selective syntheses of alpha, beta-diamino esters, alpha-sulfanyl-beta-amino esters, beta-lactams, and 1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one

A variety of nucleophiles, including amines, thiolates, and alkoxides, were employed to open the aziridinium ions Az. The latter are opened stereospecifically and regioselectively at the C-3 position by a wide range of amines, and thiolate nucleophiles attack predominately at the C-2 position. Poor regioselectivities (ca. 1:1) were observed using nucleophiles derived from phenols, carboxylic acids, and imides. Base-mediated ring closure of the aziridinium opening products, from primary amines, gave beta-lactams and a 1, 5-benzodiazepin-2-one in high yields.
