Synthesis of methyleneaminodipeptides via ring opening of a 2-(t-butoxycarbonylmethyl)aziridine derivative
Thierry, Josiane,Servajean, Vincent
, p. 821 - 823 (2004)
The reactivity of 2-(t-butoxycarbonylmethyl)aziridine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester has been studied with various N-nucleophiles. The ring-opening reaction was always regioselective, the nucleophile attacking preferentially the less hindered carbon of th
Synthesis of Aminomethylene- gem-bisphosphonates Containing an Aziridine Motif: Studies of the Reaction Scope and Insight into the Mechanism
Cheviet, Thomas,Peyrottes, Suzanne
, p. 3107 - 3119 (2021/02/05)
A broad range of N-carbamoylaziridines were obtained and then treated by the diethyl phosphonate anion to afford α-methylene-gem-bisphosphonate aziridines. Study of the reaction's scope and additional experiments indicates that the transformation proceeds via a new mechanism involving the chelation of lithium ion. This last step is crucial for the reaction to occur and disfavors the aziridine ring-opening. A phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement from a α-hydroxybisphosphonate aziridine intermediate is also proposed for the first time. This reaction provides a simple and convenient method for the synthesis of a highly functionalized phosphonylated aziridine motif.

As part of an ongoing effort to discover inhibitors of caspase-1 with an optimized selectivity and biopharmaceutical profile, acylsulfonamides were explored as carboxylate isosteres for caspase inhibitors. Acylsulfonamide analogues of the clinically investigated caspase-1 inhibitor VRT-043198 and of the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-CHO were synthesized. The isostere-containing analogues with an aldehyde warhead had inhibitory potencies comparable to the carboxylate references. In addition, the conformational and tautomeric characteristics of these molecules were determined using 1H- and 13C-based NMR. The propensity of acylsulfonamides with an aldehyde warhead to occur in a ring-closed conformation at physiological pH significantly increases the sensitivity to hydrolysis of the acylsulfonamide moiety, yielding the parent carboxylate containing inhibitors. These results indicate that the acylsulfonamide analogues of the aldehyde-based inhibitor VRT-043198 might have potential as a novel type of prodrug for the latter. Finally, inhibition of caspase 1 and 11 mediated inflammation in mouse macrophages was found to correlate with the potencies of the compounds in enzymatic assays.
Efficient access to enantiopure γ4-amino acids with proteinogenic side-chains and structural investigation of γ4- asn and γ4-ser in hybrid peptide helices

Hybrid peptides composed of α- and β-amino acids have recently emerged as new class of peptide foldamers. Comparatively, γ- and hybrid γ-peptides composed of γ4-amino acids are less studied than their β-counterparts. However, recent investigations reveal that γ4-amino acids have a higher propensity to fold into ordered helical structures. As amino acid side-chain functional groups play a crucial role in the biological context, the objective of this study was to investigate efficient synthesis of γ4-residues with functional proteinogenic side-chains and their structural analysis in hybrid-peptide sequences. Here, the efficient and enantiopure synthesis of various N- and C-terminal free-γ4-residues, starting from the benzyl esters (COOBzl) of N-Cbz-protected (E)-α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids through multiple hydrogenolysis and double-bond reduction in a single-pot catalytic hydrogenation is reported. The crystal conformations of eight unprotected γ4-amino acids (γ4-Val, γ4-Leu, γ4-Ile, γ4-Thr(OtBu), γ4-Tyr, γ4-Asp(OtBu), γ4- Glu(OtBu), and γ-Aib) reveals that these amino acids adopted a helix favoring gauche conformations along the central Cγi￡ Cβ bond. To study the behavior of γ4- residues with functional side chains in peptide sequences, two short hybrid γ-peptides P1 (Ac-Aib-γ4-Asn-Aib-γ4-Leu- Aib-γ4-Leu-CONH2) and P2 (Ac-Aib- γ4-Ser-Aib-γ4-Val-Aib-γ4-Val- CONH2) were designed, synthesized on solid phase, and their 12-helical conformation in single crystals were studied. Remarkably, the γ4-Asn residue in P1 facilitates the tetrameric helical aggregations through interhelical H bonding between the side-chain amide groups. Furthermore, the hydroxyl side-chain of γ4-Ser in P2 is involved in the interhelical H bonding with the backbone amide group. In addition, the analysis of 87 γ4-residues in peptide single-crystals reveal that the γ4-residues in 12-helices are more ordered as compared with the 10/12- and 12/14-helices. Copyright
Synthesis of threo-β-aminoalcohols from aminoaldehydes via chelation-controlled additions. Total synthesis of l-threo sphingosine and safingol
Jung, Michael E.,Yi, Sung Wook

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.
Synthesis of substituted (S)-2-aminotetralins via ring-opening of aziridines prepared from l-aspartic acid β-tert-butyl ester
Aaseng, Jon Erik,Gautun, Odd R.
experimental part, p. 8982 - 8991 (2011/01/04)
This paper describes the total synthesis of the hydrochloride salts of (2S)-2-amino-7-methoxytetralin (21-HCl) and (2S)-2-amino-6-fluoro-7- methoxytetralin (ST1214), from a common enantiomerically pure aziridine 4b, which was available from l-aspartic acid β-tert-butyl ester. The synthesis of 21-HCl and ST1214 proceeded in nine steps and 5 and 6% overall yields, respectively. Key steps are the regioselective ring-opening of 4b with ArMgBr/CuBr·SMe2 and the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclisation providing α-tetralone. Substituted naphthalenes were formed as side products in the latter reaction.
Expanding the scope of PNA-encoded libraries: divergent synthesis of libraries targeting cysteine, serine and metallo-proteases as well as tyrosine phosphatases
Debaene, Fran?ois,Da Silva, Julien A.,Pianowski, Zbigniew,Duran, Fernando J.,Winssinger, Nicolas
, p. 6577 - 6586 (2008/02/05)
Seven PNA-encoded combinatorial libraries targeting proteases and phosphatases with covalent reversible and irreversible mechanism-based inhibitors were prepared. The libraries were synthesized using modified PNA monomers, which dramatically increase the water solubility of the libraries in biologically relevant buffers. The libraries were shown to selectively inhibit targeted enzymes.

A systematic study of anilines led to the discovery of a metabolically robust fluoroindoline replacement for the alkoxy aniline toxicophore in 1. Investigations of the P1 pocket resulted in the discovery of a wide tolerance of functionality leading to the discovery of 11 as a potent and selective inhibitor of cathepsin S.
