Synthesis of phosphinic acids on the basis of hypophosphites: IV. Synthesis of pseudo-γ-glutamylglycine and its enantiomers

A new method for construction of pseudopeptide molecules is proposed, exemplified by the synthesis of [3-amino-3-(hydroxycarbonyl)propyl][2-(hydroxycabonyl)ethyl]phosphinic acid (I) (pseudo--glutamylglycine), starting from ammonium hypophosphite.

Synthesis and Properties of L-α-aming-γ-nitroguanidinobutyric acid

We wish to report the synthesis of L-α-amino-γ-nitroguanidinobutyric acid, a hitherto unkonwn amino acid derivative. This derivative can be the base for preparing peptides (for instance hormonse) contairing Lα-amono-γ-guanidinobutyric acid, the lower homologue of L-arginine. The higher homologue, L-homoarginine, has already been built in peptides through its nitroderivative, as was the case with angiotensin IIanalogues¹and Har-Bradykinin².     

First Synthesis of γ,γ′-Diphosphonylketones and Their Reactivity in the Fischer Reaction

Two synthetic methods leading to the new n , n '-diphosphonylketones 2 and 2 ' are reported. The first method involves the base-catalyzed addition of diethylphosphite to diarylideneketones.

Synthesis and Characterization of the Crystalline Methyl α-Glycoside of the Repeating Unit of the O-Polysaccharide of Vibrio Cholerae O:1

Abstract

There are more than eighty serotypes of Vibrio cholerae, all causing disease with symptoms of Asian cholera. Systematic prevention of cholera by immunization has not yet been achieved because of a lack of a protective vaccine. Vibrio cholerae 0:1 Gramnegative bacteria occur as two immunologically distinct strains: Ogawa and Tnaba. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of both strains seem to contain the same 0-polysaccharide antigen consisting^3,4 of (1+2)-a-linked 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-a-D-mannopyranosyl residues the amino groups of which are acylated with 3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronic acid. Although the chemical structure of the 0-polysaccharides has been known5 since 1979, the synthesis of its monomeric repeating unit was reported only in 1988.

A trisubstituted cyclopentane chiron has been prepared by dynamic kinetic reduction of a pulegone-derived β-keto ester. This chiron served as the starting material for the synthesis of the reported structure of the tricyclic sesquiterpene trans-africanan-1α-ol. The synthetic material was not congruent with the natural product.

The complex [Sm（p-MBA）3phen]2 （p-MBA, p-methylbenzoate; phen, 1,10-phenanthroline） was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectra. The thermal decomposition process of [Sm（pMBA）3phen]2 was studied under a static air atmosphere by TG-DTG and IR techniques.
