The use of various quaternary ammonium salts as chiral phase-transfer catalysts allowed effective and stereoselective radiochemical [11C]alkylation to obtain functionalized dipeptides. We herein report a broadly applicable procedure for the asymmetric [11C]alkylation of dipeptides to give labeled N-terminal peptides by using different [11C]alkyl halides. Contended stereoselectivities of the reactions were observed by using 11C-labeled alkyl halides, [11C]methyl iodide and [11C]benzyl iodide, and diastereomeric ratios with different specialized catalysts of 95:5 and 90:10 were achieved, respectively. Accordingly, the straightforward synthesis of enantioenriched compounds should play a vital role in peptide-based radiopharmaceutical development and positron emission tomography imaging.
Preparation of (R)-2-azidoesters from 2-((p-nitrobenzene)sulfonyl)oxy esters and their use as protected amino acid equivalents for the synthesis of di- and tripeptides containing D-amino acid constituents

(R)-2-Azidoesters and their derived (R)-2-azido acids are readily prepared from common amino acids by an inversion methodology that employs (S)-2-nosyloxyesters as key intermediates. The (R)-2-azidoesters can be used as protected amino acid equivalents in peptide synthesis. Basic hydrolysis frees the carboxyl group. Triphenylphosphine/water is used to free the amine group. By these reactions a variety of L-D and D-L dipeptides, L-D-L tripeptides, and depsipeptides can be prepared easily in good yields, and without detectable epimerization.
