Abstract: | The C-6 substituted tryptophan di- and tri-peptides and , representing the tryptophan core of stephanotic acid, have been synthesized, the key steps being the formation of the phosphono-di- and tri-peptides and by a highly chemoselective rhodium(II) catalyzed carbene N-H insertion reaction, their subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions with N-Boc-6-bromoindole-3-carboxaldehyde, and the rhodium(I) catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the resulting dehydro di- and tri-peptides. |
