- Synthesis aided structural determination of amyloid-β(1-15) glycopeptides, new biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease
-
Unique tyrosine glycosylated amyloid-β(1-15) glycopeptides were synthesized with well-defined stereochemistry at the glycosidic linkages. Aided by these glycopeptides and tandem mass spectrometry analysis, the naturally existing amyloid-β glycopeptides, isolated from Alzheimer's disease patients, were determined to contain an α-linked N-acetyl galactosamine at the modified tyrosine 10 residue. Glycosylation can significantly impact the properties of amyloid-β as the glycopeptide has much lower affinity for Cu+ ions.

- Selective esterifications of primary alcohols in a water-containing solvent
-
Oxyma and an oxyma derivative, (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl 2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate (5b), displayed a remarkable effect on selective esterifications of primary alcohols. A wide range of carboxylic acids could be esterified with primary alcohols by using EDCI, NaHCO3, and Oxyma or Oxyma derivative 5b in 5% H2O-CH3CN. Oxyma derivative 5b is particularly useful, since it could be removed after the reaction via a simple basic or an acidic aqueous workup procedure.

- Introduction of 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, and benzyloxycarbonyl amine protecting groups into O-unprotected hydroxyamino acids using succinimidyl carbonates
-
9-Fluorenylmethyl succinimidyl, pentachlorophenyl, and benzotriazole-1-yl carbonates were prepared and their reactivity with L-serine and L-serine benzyl ester was compared.The most efficient reagent, 9-fluorenylmethyl succinimidyl carbonate, was used for the preparation of 9-flourenylmethyloxycarbonyl derivatives of other hydroxyamino acids and hydroxyamino acid esters in high yields.The use of trichloroethyl and benzyl succinimidyl carbonates for an efficient conversion of hydroxyamino acids and their esters into the corresponding N-trichloroethoxycarbonyl and benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives is described.
