Synthetic studies on the novel fungicidal oligopeptides, echinocandins (1b and 1c), are described.The constituent amino acids 5-8 were synthesized in a stereocontrolled manner from the chiral starting materials, 5a, 6a and 7a, respectively.The coupling of these amino acids was characterized by the use of unprotected amino acid as the C-terminal and 2-pyridyl thiol ester as the N-terminal, and the coupling was performed in the presence of 1-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole (TMSIm) or a catalytic amount of tert-amine to give C-terminal free dipeptides, 14 and 16a, respectively, which were converted to the pentapeptide 17a, a common intermediate for the synthesis of 1b and 1c.The synthesis of 1c was achieved by the cyclization of the hexapeptide 24b.

A new saccharin derivative, thiopyridyl-benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide (BID-SPy, 2), has been prepared by the reaction of BID-Cl (1) and 2-mercaptopyridine, and utilized as a coupling reagent in the synthesis of amides and N-protected dipeptides.
