We employed X-irradiation to activate a caged amino acid with a 2-oxoalkyl group. We designed and synthesized tyrosine derivative caged by a 2-oxoalkyl group (Tyr(Oxo)) to evaluate its radiolytic one-electron reduction characteristics in aqueous solution. Upon hypoxic X-irradiation, Tyr(Oxo) released a 2-oxopropyl group to form the corresponding uncaged tyrosine. In addition, radiolysis of dipeptides containing Tyr(Oxo) revealed that the efficiency of radiolytic removal of 2-oxopropyl group increased significantly by the presence of neighboring aromatic amino acids.

The Diels-Alder reaction involving cycloaddition of aryloxy-substituted 1,3-butadienes with appropriate acetylenic electrophiles, followed by aromatization of the newly formed cyclohexadiene ring, has been used for the synthesis of diaryl ethers.The functionalized aryloxy 1,3-butadienes employed in this study were prepared by either of two methods: (1) methylenation of aryl esters via the Tebbe or related reagents, and (2) from 1-(aryloxy)-2-propanone by a sequence of formylation or alkylthio methylenation, and subsequent enolsilylation.A tetrasubstituted butadiene containing two phenoxy groups at the 1 and 3 positions also was prepared by the latter method.The cycloaddition reactions of 2,3-dioxy-substituted dienes occurred in high yield, but, as expected, with no regioselectivity to furnish nearly equal mixtures of regioisomeric cycloadducts.In contrast, application of 1,2,3-trihetero-substituted dienes resulted in regiospecific cycloaddition reactions.Transformation of the cyclohexadiene cycloadducts to an aromatic ring was accomplished by dehydrogenation with DDQ or by elimination during the cycloaddition process of a molecule of an alkyl mercaptan.A chiral acetylenic ketone derived from D- or L-serine underwent condensation, without racemization, with aryloxy dienes to provide diaryl ethers related to the isodityrosine antibiotics.
