The aldol condensation of acetone with several isatins is described. The desired compound was obtained in quantitative yield and with good enantioselectivities up to 77%. The best results were obtained with 10 mol % H-D-Pro-L-β3-hPhg-OBn as a c
Reciprocity of steric and stereoelectronic effects in the collagen triple helix

In previous work, we demonstrated that 4-fluoroproline residues can contribute greatly to the conformational stability of the collagen triple helix, and that this stability arises from stereoelectronic effects that fix the pucker of the pyrrolidine ring and thereby preorganize the backbone properly for triple-helix formation. Here, we take a reciprocal approach, demonstrating that the steric effect of a 4-methyl group confers stability similar to that from a 4-fluoro group in the opposite configuration. Such fundamental interplay between steric and stereoelectronic effects is heretofore unknown in proteinsnatural or syntheticand provides a new means to modulate conformational stability. Copyright
Synthesis of β-casomorphin employing Fmoc-amino acid chlorides and t-butyldimethylsilyloxy benzotriazole (TBDMS-OBt)

Coupling of Fmoc-amino acid chlorides can be carried out using t-butyldimethylsilyloxy benzotriazole, the reaction being carried out in organic medium. No addition of base is required. The coupling is fast and racemization free. The workup and isolation of product are easy. Thus, the synthesis of β-casomorphin (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Pro-Gly) is accomplished.
