A modular synthesis of some cyclic peptides related to a class of histone deacetylase inhibitors is reported. The synthesis utilizes a late-stage functionalization of a cyclic tetrapeptide scaffold to link the pendant alkyl chain through cross metathesis. It is observed that while the cross-metathesis reaction of a terminal olefin having a β-substituent is marginally successful with the scaffold, the corresponding reaction with an α,β-unsaturated ketone/ester is more promising. The utility of the protocol is demonstrated through the preparation of three cyclic tetrapeptides structurally related to the novel histone deacetylase inhibitors FR-225497 and trapoxin B.

Trapoxin, a cyclotetrapeptide isolated from the fungus Helicoma ambiens, profoundly affects mammalian cell growth and morphology. In this paper, we describe syntheses of trapoxin, [3H]trapoxin, and K-trap, a trapoxin-based affinity reagent. The
