N-18F-labeled amino acids are important substitutes for new positron emission tomography (PET) imaging tracers complementing the deficiency of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). In this work, two novel N-6-18F-alkyl amino acid imaging agents, 18F-FHex-α-l-Glu and 18F-FHex-β-Glu, were designed and synthesized as potential probes for PET imaging of tumors. 18F-FHex-α-l-Glu was synthesized using the precursor 6 from 18F-F? with the yield of 16 ± 4% (n = 5, uncorrected) within about 50 minutes. The specific activity was 14.5 GBq/μmol, and the radiochemical purity was more than 95%. 18F-FHex-β-Glu was synthesized using the precursor 12 based on 18F-F? with the yield of 11 ± 3% (n = 3, uncorrected) in about 60 minutes. The specific activity was 9.1 GBq/μmol, and the radiochemical purity was more than 95%.

PCTA[12] is a 12-membered tetraaza-macrocyclic ligand that incorporates a pyridine unit within the macrocyclic ring and three acetate pendant arms. Unlike DOTA and NOTA chelators, PCTA is a recent entry to the field of macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylate ligands available to complex a variety of M2+/M3+ ions for biomedical applications such as diagnostic and radiotherapeutic. Despite the promising properties of its chelates, only a few of bifunctional chelating agents (BFCAs) derived from PCTA have been described so far. Based on our very recent methodology for the preparation of PCTA[12] itself, we report here the efficient synthesis of several BFCAs derived from PCTA bearing a free reactive function group, mainly devoted to conjugation purposes: ester, carboxylic acid, alcohol, aliphatic amine, aromatic amine, maleimide, bromo or azide functions. These functions were introduced either on the 4-position of the pyridine ring or on the methylene carbon atom of the central acetate chelating arm, while keeping the three carboxylate groups available for metal chelation. Moreover, two of these BFCAs-PCTA were used for conjugation with a tetrapeptide (cholecystokinin analogue), a bioactive molecule (biotin), or a solid support (silica gel).
Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Amino Acids by Organocatalytic Biomimetic Transamination

A biomimetic enantioselective transamination of α-keto ester derivatives can be realized under mild conditions by using chiral quaternary ammonium arenecarboxylates in the absence of base additives. The corresponding α-amino acids can be used as versatile intermediates for further synthetic transformations that furnish chiral pyrrolidine and octahydroindolizine derivatives.

Eastwood, Amy L.,Blum, Angela P.,Zacharias, Niki M.,Dougherty, Dennis A.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 9241 - 9244 (2010/03/01)
(Chemical Equation Presented) A strategy for photochemical cleavage of peptide and protein backbones is described, which is based on a selenide-mediated cleavage of a backbone ester moiety. Studies in model systems establish the viability of the chemistry
A higher yielding synthesis of the clinical prodrug ZD2767P using di-protected 4-[N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]phenyl chloroformate
Niculescu-Duvaz, Dan,Scanlon, Ian,Niculescu-Duvaz, Ion,Springer, Caroline J.
, p. 6919 - 6922 (2007/10/03)
A novel synthesis is described of the prodrug ZD2767P (in Phase I/II clinical trials) that improves the overall yield from 13% to 45%. The method involves the synthesis of 4-[N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]phenyl chloroformate protected as the bis-silyl ether, coupled with di-tert-butyl glutamate. There are clear advantages of this method compared to the literature procedure.
