A unified approach to access Nβ-protected amino alkyl isothiocyanates using Nβ-protected amino alkyl azides through a general strategy of Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction is described. The type of protocol used to access isothiocyanates depends on the availability of precursors and also, especially in the amino acid chemistry, on the behavior of other labile groups towards the reagents used in the protocols; fortunately, we were not concerned about both these factors as precursor-azides were prepared easily by standard protocols, and the present protocol can pave the way for accessing title compounds without affecting Boc, Cbz and Fmoc protecting groups, and benzyl and tertiary butyl groups in the side chains. The present strategy eliminates the need for the use of amines to obtain title compounds and thus, this method is step-economical; additional advantages include retention of chirality, convenient handling and easy purification. A few hitherto unreported compounds were also prepared, and all final compounds were completely characterized by IR, mass, optical rotation, and 1H and 13C NMR studies.
Hydrodehalogenation of alkyl iodides with base-mediated hydrogenation and catalytic transfer hydrogenation: Application to the asymmetric synthesis of N-protected α-methylamines

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.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of a new series of dithiocarbamate-linked peptidomimetics is described. The in situ generated dithiocarbamic acid intermediate formed by the reaction of an amino acid ester and carbon disulfide in the presence of triethylamine was treated with N-protected amino alkyl iodide to afford title compounds 3a-g in good to moderate yields. The synthesis of N-Fmoc-protected tripeptidomimetics 4a-e containing two dithiocarbamate linkages is also described. The protocol was further extended to synthesize N,N′-orthogonally protected dithiocarbamate-linked dipeptidomimetics 7a-c as well. The mild reaction conditions and non-toxic reagents are the advantages of the present method.
