A simple two step procedure for the synthesis of a dipeptide from N-hydroxy-3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane-2,4-dione (HO-ASUD) activated α-amino acids is described. In presence of DCC, N-hydroxy-3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane-2,4- dione readily esterifies the carboxylic acid group of all the N-protected amino acids to yield crystalline N-hydroxy-3-aza spiro[5,5]undecane-2,4-dione activated carboxy ester. The N-hydroxy-3-aza spiro[5,5]undecane-2,4-dione activated carboxy esters of N-protected amino acids readily condensed with other amino acids and gave a dipeptide. This new method is effective for the DCC coupling of a variety of chiral amino acids without loss of enantiomeric purity. Synthesis of fifteen dipeptides including the hitherto unreported Fmoc-l-Orn(Boc)-Val-OMe, Fmoc-l-Cys(trt)-Gly-OEt and Boc-l-Tyr-Gly-OEt is presented.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Hindered amino acids have been introduced into peptide chains by coupling N-(Cbz- and Fmoc-α-aminoacyl) benzotriazoles with amino acids, wherein at least one of the components was sterically hindered, to provide compounds 3a-e, (3c +3 c′), 5a-d, (5a + 5a′), 6a-c, (6b + 6b′), 8a-c, 9a-e, 10a-d, and (10a + 10a′) in isolated yields of 41-95% with complete retention of chirality as evidenced by NMR and HPLC analysis. The benzotriazole activation methodology is a new route for the synthesis of sterically hindered peptides.
