Continuing our efforts towards understanding the principles governing ribosomal recognition and function, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of diversely functionalized 5,6-, 6,6- and 7,6-spiroethers. These compounds successfully mimic natural aminoglycosides regarding their binding to the decoding center of the bacterial ribosome. Their potential to inhibit prokaryotic protein production in vitro along with their antibacterial potencies have also been examined.

We report a very mild synthesis of N-protected α-methylamines from the corresponding amino acids. Carboxyl groups of amino acids are reduced to iodomethyl groups via hydroxymethyl intermediates. Reductive deiodination to methyl groups is achieved by hydrogenation or catalytic transfer hydrogenation under alkaline conditions. Basic hydrodehalogenation is selective for the iodomethyl group over hydrogenolysis-labile protecting groups, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl ester, benzyl ether, and 9-fluorenyloxymethyl, thus allowing the conversion of virtually any protected amino acid into the corresponding N-protected α-methylamine.

Chelation-controlled addition of organocuprates to N-carbamoyl aminoaldehydes, prepared from functionalized amino acids, generated predominately the threo-β-amino alcohol derivatives through chelation with the carbamoyl moiety. The carbamate group is a stronger chelating group than other potentially good chelators, for example ethers, esters, thioethers, and gives good diastereoselectivity with cuprates. Thus addition of lithium divinylcuprate to the aldehyde generated from the serine derivative 25 in the presence of extra copper for chelation afforded the threo compound 26 in 83% yield. Cross-metathesis and cleavage of the protecting groups furnished l-threo sphingosine 21. In addition the lyso-sphingolipid protein kinase C inhibitor, safingol, 22, was prepared from commercially available O-benzyl N-BOC serine 28 in six steps and 56% overall yield by this method.

Several commercially available nitrilases were investigated with regard to their potential to hydrolyze N-protected β3-amino nitriles into their corresponding N-protected β3-amino acids. The biotransformations were obtained in different proportions depending on the nitrilase involved. The best hydrolysis results were achieved for the N-Cbz-β3-amino nitrile from l-alanine using the NIT-107, in a phosphate buffer at 0.05 M. However, no biotransformation into the corresponding acids was observed for the N-sulfonylamide β3-amino nitriles. Two simple and efficient procedures to prepare the β3-amino nitriles from their analogous α-amino acids are described. Thirty four new substances were synthesized and characterized over the course of this work.
SYNTHESIS OF ISOSTERIC METHYLENE-OXY PSEUDOPEPTIDE ANALOGUES AS NOVEL AMIDE BOND SURROGATE UNITS

, p. 6039 - 6045 (2007/10/02)
The syntheses of several fully protected dipeptide isosteres which incorporate a methylene-oxy bond replacing the amide bond are described.The novel methylene-oxy modification offers a polar, flexible, proteolytically resistant peptide bond surrogate which can be easily incorporated into biologically active peptides.The standard geometries of the trans-amide, methylene-oxy and methylene-thio units are compared, showing a very close geometrical resemblance of the ψ2-O> unit to the amide bond.
