HBTU is a standard coupling agent commonly used for the activation of free carboxylic acids during the solution and solid phase peptide synthesis. 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) plays a significant role in reducing the racemization during peptide synthesis

A convergent approach using two key intermediates, segment A [a L-proline-L-α-hydroxy-β-homoarginine-D-phenylalamine (Pro-hArg-D-Phe) tripeptide] and segment B [a vinylogous L-tyrosine-L-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (vTyr-Dpr) dipeptide], was developed for the synthesis of cyclotheonamide B. The starting compound for the preparation of the hArg moiety 7, the predominant part of segment A, was N(α)-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-N(ω),N(ω)'-bis(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-l-ar ginine methyl ester (15), which was converted into the aldehyde 16 and subsequently homologated using [tris(methylthio)methyl]lithium as a carboxylic acid anion equivalent. Coupling with properly protected Pro and D-Phe derivatives gave smoothly the desired Pro-hArg-D-Phe tripeptide derivative 24. The key feature of segment B, i.e., the L-tyrosine-derived α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acid 4, was prepared by a Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of the aldehyde 29 derived from N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl), O-tert-butyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester (28). Selective N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) removal in the presence of the aryl tert-butyl ether present in the fully protected segment B, i.e., 32, was achieved by treatment with trimethylsilyl triflate/2,6-lutidine to give vTyr-Dpr dipeptide derivative 34 in quantitative yield. Coupling of the key intermediates 24 and 34 using 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) afforded the protected linear pentapeptide 35 in high yield. Treatment of 35 with Pd(PPh3)4/morpholine resulted in simultaneous removal of the C-terminal allyl group and the N-terminal allyloxycarbonyl group to yield 36. Ring closure was effected under dilution conditions by treatment with TBTU/1-hydroxybenzotriazole/4-(dimethylamino)pyridine and gave the protected cyclopentapeptide 37 in 61% yield. Oxidation of the hydroxyl group with Dess-Martin periodinane (24 h, 40°C) in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol gave 38, which was then subjected to O,N-deprotection with trifluoroacetic acid/thioanisole. Subsequent HPLC purification afforded cyclotheonamide B in an overall yield of 1.8% in 17 steps.

A flexible, convergent synthesis of cyclotheonamide B (1b) was developed, starting from the constituent amino acids, using conventional benzyl-, t-butyl- and allyl-based protecting groups. By modification of the key intermediates, this approach allows the preparation of cyclotheonamide analogues.
