A simple, efficient two-step synthesis of N-protected N′-formyl-gem- diaminoalkyl derivatives is reported. The procedure involves the unprecedented reduction of the carbamoyl azide of α-N-Boc/Fmoc/Z-protected amino acids and dipeptides (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl, Fmoc = 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl, Z = benzyloxycarbonyl) by treatment with NaBH4 at room temperature. The reaction proceeds rapidly (45 min) without detectable epimerization (by HPLC-ESI-MS analysis) and is not influenced by the nature of the starting carbamoyl azide. The 1H and 13C NMR analyses of the synthesized N-protected N′-formamides were carried out in [D 6]DMSO. The spectra exhibited the presence of two rotameric forms in solution as a result of the restricted rotation around the N-CO formyl bond. The integration of the N-CH-N protons of the two isomers showed that the cis isomer (rotamer B) was the more abundant conformer by 60 to 78 %. The reported synthesis represents the potential value of carbamoyl azides as versatile chiral starting materials for many synthetic purposes. A simple two-step synthesis of N-protected N′-formyl-gem-diaminoalkyl derivatives is reported that employs the reduction of the carbamoyl azide of N-protected amino acids and N-protected dipeptide acids with NaBH4. This racemization-free protocol is compatible with the most commonly used N-protecting groups. Copyright

(Chemical Equation Presented) A simple and mild one-pot synthesis of potentially bioactive α-N-protected dipeptidyl ureas is reported. The procedure involves the reaction between the carbamoyl azide of an α-N-protected amino acid and an α-amino acid methyl ester. The reaction is fast (3 h at 45 °C), regardless of the nature of both the reagents, and racemization free. The reported protocol represents a valid alternative to existing methods.

Carbamoyl azides of α-N-protected amino acids: A fast and simple one-pot synthesis
Verardo, Giancarlo,Bombardella, Elisa,Geatti, Paola,Strazzolini, Paolo
, p. 438 - 444 (2008/09/20)
A fast and simple one-pot synthesis of carbamoyl azides of α-N-protected amino acids is reported. The procedure involves the reaction between sodium azide and the mixed anhydride obtained from an α-N-protected amino acid and isobutyl chloroformate, in the presence of KH2PO4. The reaction rate was influenced by the nature of both the α-N-protection and the amino acid side chain. Surprisingly, tert-butyloxycarbonyl (α-N-Boc) and benzyloxycarbonyl (α-N-Cbz) protected proline afforded the corresponding isocyanates instead of the expected carbamoyl azides.
