Novel chiral stationary phases based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin combining cinchona alkaloid moiety

Novel chiral selectors based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin connecting quinine (QN) or quinidine (QD) moiety were synthesized and immobilized on silica gel. Their chromatographic performances were investigated by comparing to the 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) chiral stationary phase (CSP) and 9-O-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-QN-based CSP (QN-AX). Fmoc-protected amino acids, chiral drug cloprostenol (which has been successfully employed in veterinary medicine), and neutral chiral analytes were evaluated on CSPs, and the results showed that the novel CSPs characterized as both enantioseparation capabilities of CD-based CSP and QN/QD-based CSPs have broader application range than β-CD-based CSP or QN/QD-based CSPs. It was found that QN/QD moieties play a dominant role in the overall enantioseparation process of Fmoc-amino acids accompanied by the synergistic effect of β-CD moiety, which lead to the different enantioseparation of β-CD-QN-based CSP and β-CD-QD-based CSP. Furthermore, new CSPs retain extraordinary enantioseparation of cyclodextrin-based CSP for some neutral analytes on normal phase and even exhibit better enantioseparation than the corresponding β-CD-based CSP for certain samples.

Fmoc-OPhth, the reagent of Fmoc protection

Fmoc-OSu has been widely used for Fmoc protection of amino groups, especially amino acids, in solid phase peptide synthesis. However, it has been recognized that Fmoc-βAla-OH is formed as a by-product via the Lossen rearrangement during the reaction. Since we reconfirmed the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH during the preparation of Fmoc-AA-OH by Fmoc-OSu, Fmoc-OPhth was designed and synthesized as a new Fmoc reagent to avoid the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH. Furthermore, Fmoc protection by Fmoc-OPhth and Fmoc-SPPS were evaluated. The various Fmoc-amino acids prepared by Fmoc-OPhth were carried out in good yields and these are applicable in Fmoc-SPPS.

Optimized syntheses of Fmoc azido amino acids for the preparation of azidopeptides

The rise of CuI-catalyzed click chemistry has initiated an increased demand for azido and alkyne derivatives of amino acid as precursors for the synthesis of clicked peptides. However, the use of azido and alkyne amino acids in peptide chemistry is complicated by their high cost. For this reason, we investigated the possibility of the in-house preparation of a set of five Fmoc azido amino acids: β-azido l-alanine and d-alanine, γ-azido l-homoalanine, δ-azido l-ornithine and ω-azido l-lysine. We investigated several reaction pathways described in the literature, suggested several improvements and proposed several alternative routes for the synthesis of these compounds in high purity. Here, we demonstrate that multigram quantities of these Fmoc azido amino acids can be prepared within a week or two and at user-friendly costs. We also incorporated these azido amino acids into several model tripeptides, and we observed the formation of a new elimination product of the azido moiety upon conditions of prolonged couplings with 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate/DIPEA. We hope that our detailed synthetic protocols will inspire some peptide chemists to prepare these Fmoc azido acids in their laboratories and will assist them in avoiding the too extensive costs of azidopeptide syntheses. Experimental procedures and/or analytical data for compounds 3–5, 20, 25, 26, 30 and 43–47 are provided in the supporting information.

A one-pot procedure for the preparation of N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl- α-amino diazoketones from α-amino acids

The study describes a new "one-pot" route to the synthesis of N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) α-amino diazoketones. The procedure was tested on a series of commercially available free or side-chain protected α-amino acids employed as precursors. The conversion into the title compounds was achieved by masking and activating the α-amino acids with a single reagent, namely, 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl). The resulting N-protected mixed anhydrides were reacted with diazomethane to lead to the α-amino diazoketones, which were isolated by flash column chromatography in very good to excellent overall yields. The versatility of the procedure was verified on lipophilic α-amino acids and further demonstrated by the preparation of N-Fmoc-α-amino diazoketones also from α-amino acids containing side-chain masking groups, which are orthogonal to the Fmoc one. The results confirmed that tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc), tert-butyl (tBu), and 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl (Pbf), three acid-labile protecting groups mostly adopted in the solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis, are compatible to the adopted reaction conditions. In all cases, the formation of the corresponding C-methyl ester of the starting amino acid was not observed. Moreover, the proposed method respects the chirality of the starting α-amino acids. No racemization occurred when the procedure was applied to the synthesis of the respective N-Fmoc-protected α-amino diazoketones from l-isoleucine and l-threonine and to the preparation of a diastereomeric pair of N-Fmoc-protected dipeptidyl diazoketones.

New TFA-free cleavage and final deprotection in Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis: Dilute HCl in fluoro alcohol

A novel method for cleaving from resin and removing acid-labile protecting groups for the Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis is described. 0.1 N HCl in hexafluoroisopropanol or trifluoroethanol cleanly and rapidly removes the tert-butyl ester and ether, Boc, trityl, and Pbf groups and cleaves the common resin linkers: Wang, HMPA, Rink amide, and PAL. Addition of just 5-10% of a hydrogen-bonding solvent considerably retards or even fully inhibits the reaction. However, a non-hydrogen-bonding solvent is tolerated.

Liquid-chromatography quantitative analysis of 20 amino acids after derivatization with FMOC-CI and its application to different origin Radix isatidis

We developed a simple, rapid and reliable method for determination of 20 common amino acids based on derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-CI) and RP-LC/UV, this method was first introduced into quantitative analysis of amino acids. The amino groups of amino acids were trapped with FMOC-CI to form amino acid-FMOC-Cl adducts which can be suitable for LC-UV. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with a mobile phase gradient consisting of acetonitrile and sodium acetate solution. This method was shown to be sensitive for 20 common amino acids. In the intra-day precisions assay, the range of RSDs was 3.21-7.67% with accuracies of 92.34-102.51%; for the inter-day precisions assay, the range of RSDs was 5.82-9.19% with accuracies of 90.25-100.63%. The results also indicated that solutions of amino acids-FMOC-Cl can be kept at room temperature for at least 24 h without showing significant losses in the quantified values. The validated method was successfully applied to the determination of major four kinds of amino acids in R. isatidis samples (Arg, Pro, Met and Val). The total content of amino acids in different origin R. isatidis was 13.32-19.16 mg/g. The differences between R. isatidis samples were large using HCA.

Efficient procedure for the preparation of oligomer-free N-fmoc amino acids

A two-step method is presented for the peptide-free, high-purity, and high-yield synthesis of N-Fmoc amino acids. The first step involves the preparation of stable dicyclohexylammonium-amino acid ionic adduct in acetone. Subsequently, the ionic adducts, on reaction with Fmoc-Nosu under mild alkaline conditions, give dipeptide-free N-Fmoc amino acids. The positive charge of the dicyclohexylammonium counterion in the ionic salt has a longer radius, moderating the nucleophilicity of the carboxylate ion of the amino acid and preventing by-products by arresting the formation of mixed anhydrides, the precursors of oligopeptide impurities.

A pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of obesity is also disclosed.

One-pot preparation of N-carbamate protected amino acids via the azide

A convenient and efficient method for the preparation of fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) and allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc) amino acids is proposed. This method is particularly attractive due to the fact that the reaction sequence Fmoc/Alloc-chloride to Fmoc/Alloc-azide to Fmoc/Alloc-amino acid can readily be carried out in one pot. A further advantage is the minimization of byproducts, which are easily removed during the workup. Most important, this strategy minimizes the formation of dipeptides that are difficult to remove by crystallization. Thus, Fmoc and Alloc amino acids are obtained in high yield (60-90%) and purity as evidenced by thin-layer chromatography, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance.
