- Evaluation of Amino Nitriles and an Amino Imidate as Organo?-catalysts in Aldol Reactions
-
The efficiency of l -valine and l -proline nitriles and a tert -butyl?- l -proline imidate as organocatalysts for the aldol reaction have been evaluated. l -Valine nitrile was found to be a syn -selective catalyst, while l -proline nitrile was found to be anti -selective, and gave products in modest to good enantioselectivities. tert -Butyl l -proline imidate was found to be a very efficient catalyst in terms of conversion of starting reagents to products, and gave good anti -selectivity. The enantioselectivity of the tert -butyl l -proline imidate was found to be good to excellent, with products being formed in up to 94percent enantiomeric excess.

- Synthesis of Nitriles from Primary Amides or Aldoximes under Conditions of a Catalytic Swern Oxidation
-
The preparation of nitriles from primary amides or aldoximes was achieved by using oxalyl chloride with a catalytic amount of dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of Et3N. The reactions were complete within 1 h after addition at room temperature. A diverse range of cyano compounds were obtained in good to excellent yields, including aromatic, heteroaromatic, cyclic, and acyclic aliphatic species.

- Prebiotic synthesis of 2-deoxy-d-ribose from interstellar building blocks promoted by amino esters or amino nitriles
-
Understanding the prebiotic genesis of 2-deoxy-d-ribose, which forms the backbone of DNA, is of crucial importance to unravelling the origins of life, yet remains open to debate. Here we demonstrate that 20 mol% of proteinogenic amino esters promote the selective formation of 2-deoxy-d-ribose over 2-deoxy-d-threopentose in combined yields of ≥4%. We also demonstrate the first aldol reaction promoted by prebiotically-relevant proteinogenic amino nitriles (20 mol%) for the enantioselective synthesis of d-glyceraldehyde with 6% ee, and its subsequent conversion into 2-deoxy-d-ribose in yields of ≥ 5%. Finally, we explore the combination of these two steps in a one-pot process using 20 mol% of an amino ester or amino nitrile promoter. It is hence demonstrated that three interstellar starting materials, when mixed together with an appropriate promoter, can directly lead to the formation of a mixture of higher carbohydrates, including 2-deoxy-d-ribose.

- Synthesis of Nitriles from Aldoximes and Primary Amides Using XtalFluor-E
-
The dehydration reaction of aldoximes and amides for the synthesis of nitriles using [Et2NSF2]BF4 (XtalFluor-E) is described. Overall, the reaction proceeds rapidly (normally 1 h) at room temperature in an environmentally benign solvent (EtOAc) with only a slight excess of the dehydrating agent (1.1 equiv). A broad scope of nitriles can be prepared, including chiral nonracemic ones. In addition, in a number of cases, further purification of the nitrile after the workup was not required.

- Original β,γ-diamino acid as an inducer of a γ-turn mimic in short peptides
-
Original αγα tripeptides containing one β,γ-diamino acid have been synthesized and their conformation determined by extensive NMR and molecular dynamic studies. These studies revealed the presence of a C9 hydrogen bonded turn around the β,γ-diamino acid which was stabilized by bulky side chains of the preceding residue. This turn can be considered as a mimic of the well-known γ-turn. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.

- AmIno Acid Homologation by the Blaise Reaction: A new entry into nitrogen heterocycles
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A general strategy for the amino acid homologation via Blaise reaction and subsequent reduction is presented. This strategy involves the preparation of protected α-amino nitriles from the corresponding amino acids, followed by the zinc-mediated condensation of tert-butyl bromoacetate, to give the imidazolidones after iminozincate cyclization. Reduction gave the saturated imidazolidinones with cis or trans stereochemistry, depending on the reduction conditions. This strategy was applied to nonfunctionalized amino acids and to functionalized amino acids such as serine and aspartic acid. Additionally, acidic hydrolysis of cis or trans imidazolidinones to the corresponding chiral 4-aminopyrrolidones is described.

- N-urethane-protected amino alkyl isothiocyanates: Synthesis, isolation, characterization, and application to the synthesis of thioureidopeptides
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Synthetically useful N-Fmoc amino-alkyl isothiocyanates have been described, starting from protected amino acids. These compounds have been synthesized in excellent yields by thiocarbonylation of the monoprotected 1,2-diamines with CS2/TEA/p-TsCl, isolated as stable solids, and completely characterized. The procedure has been extended to the synthesis of amino alkyl isothiocyanates from Boc- and Z-protected amino acids as well. The utility of these isothiocyanates for peptidomimetics synthesis has been demonstrated by employing them in the preparation of a series of dithioureidopeptide esters. Boc-Gly-OH and Boc-Phe-OH derived isothiocyanates 9a and 9c have been obtained as single crystals and their structures solved through X-ray diffraction. They belong to the orthorhombic crystal system, and have a single molecule in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 1). 9a crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pbca, while 9c crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group P212121.

- A Stereoselective entry into functionalized 1,2-diamines by zinc-mediated homologation of α-aminoacids
-
A general, stereoselective synthsis of 4,5-disubstituted imidazolidines-2-ones from α-aminoacids has been developed: the key steps are a Biaise reaction of bromoacetate on α-aminonitriles and further reduction. Although reduction with sodium cyanoborohydride afforded a mixture of cis and trans isomers 6a-e with moderate to good stereoselectivity, reduction with sodium in liquid ammonia gave the trans isomers 8a-e with complete stereoselectivity. Acidic hydrolysis of the urea gave 4-amino-pyrrolidinones, which can be precursors to β,γ-diaminoacids or 3-aminopyrrolidines.

- Direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions catalyzed by amino acids and small peptides
-
In nature there are at least nineteen different acyclic amino acids that act as the building blocks of poly-peptides and proteins with different functions. Here we report that α-amino acids, β-amino acids, and chiral amines containing primary amine functions catalyze direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions with high enantio-selectivities. Moreover, the amino acids can be combined into highly modular natural and unusual small peptides that also catalyze direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions with high stereoselectivities, to furnish the corre sponding aldol products with up to > 99% ee. Simple amino acids and small peptides can thus catalyze asymmetric aldol reactions with stereoselectivities matching those of natural enzymes that have evolved over billions of years. A small amount of water accelerates the asymmetric aldol reactions catalyzed by amino acids and small peptides, and also increases their stereoselectivities. Notably, small peptides and amino acid tetrazoles were able to catalyze direct asymmetric aldol reactions with high enantioselectivities in water, while the parent amino acids, in stark contrast, furnished nearly racemic products. These results suggest that the prebiotic oligomerization of amino acids to peptides may plausibly have been a link in the evolution of the homochirality of sugars. The mechanism and stereochemistry of the reactions are also discussed.

- The small peptide-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water
-
The asymmetric aldol reaction is a powerful method for forming carbon-carbon bonds. Small peptides with a primary amine as the catalytic residue catalyze asymmetric aqueous aldol reactions between unmodified ketones and aldehydes to furnish the corresponding aldol products with high ees. The high momodularity of the small peptides should enable the construction of several novel catalysts by combinatorial techniques for the aqueous asymmetric aldol reaction. The remarkably high difference in stereoselectivity between the peptide bond-formation was an important step towards the evaluation of asymmetric catalysis and homochilarity.
