Spin-labeled amino acids (SLAAs) are often used to determine intermolecular distances and conformations in proteins via double electron-electron resonance. Currently available SLAAs can be difficult to incorporate selectively and have little resemblance to natural side chains in proteins. Enantioselective synthesis of three spin-labeled l-amino acids is described, starting from readily available 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinone. These SLAAs better replicate canonical residues in proteins and aim for biological incorporation via genetic incorporation or solid-phase peptide synthesis.

The first chemical method for resolution of N,C-unprotected β-amino acids was developed through enantioselective formation and disassembly of nickel(II) complexes under operationally convenient conditions. The specially designed chiral ligands are inexpensive and can be quantitatively recycled along with isolation of the target β-substituted-β-amino acids in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity. The method features a broad synthetic generality including β-aryl, β-heteroaryl, and β-alkyl-derived β-amino acids. The procedure is easily scaled up, and was used for the synthetically and economically advanced preparation of the anti-diabetic drug sitagliptin. The nick of time: A chemical method for resolution of unprotected β-amino acids rac-1 was developed through enantioselective formation and disassembly of nickel(II) complexes to deliver the target β-substituted β-amino acids in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity. The chiral ligands are inexpensive and can be quantitatively recycled. The procedure was used for the preparation of anti-diabetic drug sitagliptin.
