Peptides with alternating D- and L-configured residues as found in the natural ion channel active peptide gramicidin A (gA) are important building blocks for artificially engineered ion channels. We detail an optimised solution phase synthesis employing a
Preparation of (R)-2-azidoesters from 2-((p-nitrobenzene)sulfonyl)oxy esters and their use as protected amino acid equivalents for the synthesis of di- and tripeptides containing D-amino acid constituents

(R)-2-Azidoesters and their derived (R)-2-azido acids are readily prepared from common amino acids by an inversion methodology that employs (S)-2-nosyloxyesters as key intermediates. The (R)-2-azidoesters can be used as protected amino acid equivalents in peptide synthesis. Basic hydrolysis frees the carboxyl group. Triphenylphosphine/water is used to free the amine group. By these reactions a variety of L-D and D-L dipeptides, L-D-L tripeptides, and depsipeptides can be prepared easily in good yields, and without detectable epimerization.
