SYNTHESIS OF AMINO ACID ESTERS BY PAPAIN

A wide range of N-Boc-amino acid esters were synthesized from N-Boc-amino acids and alcohol using papain as catalyst.Suitable biphasic reaction mixtures were found for most amino acids to achieve high yield of ester synthesis.With N-Boc-L-aspartic and glutamic acids only the α carbonyl group esterified, without racemisation.

Solventless mechanosynthesis of N-protected amino esters

Mechanochemical derivatizations of N- or C-protected amino acids were performed in a ball mill under solvent-free conditions. A vibrational ball mill was used for the preparation of N-protected α- and β-amino esters starting from the corresponding N-unmasked precursors via a carbamoylation reaction in the presence of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O), benzyl chloroformate (Z-Cl) or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl). A planetary ball mill proved to be more suitable for the synthesis of amino esters from N-protected amino acids via a one-pot activation/esterification reaction in the presence of various dialkyl dicarbonates or chloroformates. The spot-to-spot reactions were straightforward, leading to the final products in reduced reaction times with improved yields and simplified work-up procedures.

Diastereoselective alkylations of a protected cysteinesulfenate

(Chemical Equation Presented) To further understand stereoselection in the alkylation of sulfenate anions, a protected cysteinesulfenate was generated in THF solution at low temperature. Introduction of a reactive alkylating agent brings about a cysteinyl

Papain-catalyzed esterification of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides with ethanol in different organic systems

The papain-catalyzed esterification of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides with ethanol in mostly hydrophobic organic solvent systems containing low amounts of water has been investigated. The influence of various parameters, such as the amount of added water, reaction time, temperature and pH of added buffer, on the yield of ester was studied first on the model substrate Z-Ala. The optimized reaction conditions were then used for esterification of a series of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides.

Synthesis of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-, 1,3,4-Oxadiazole-, and 1,2,4-Triazole-Derived Dipeptidomimetics

Three series of heterocyclic dipeptidomimetics have been synthesized.The compounds were designed as amino acid-glycine mimetics containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and 1,2,4-triazole ring systems, useful as building blocks in the synthesis of m
