4-Substituted tryptophan derivatives and the total synthesis of cis-clavicipitic acid were achieved in reactions in which Ir-catalyzed C-H bond activation was a key step. The starting material for these reactions is asparagine, which is a cheap natural amino acid. The reductive amination step from the 4-substituted tryptophan derivative gave cis-clavicipitic acid with perfect diastereoselectivity.

Freidinger lactams, possessing a peptide bond configuration locked to Z, are important key elements of conformationally restricted peptidomimetics. In the present work, the CαHi+1 unit has been replaced by N, leading to novel aza-Fre

Two versatile, high yielding, and efficient chemo-enzymatic methods for the synthesis of β-protected Asp and γ-protected Glu derivatives using Alcalase are described. The first method is based on the α-selective enzymatic hydrolysis of symmetrical aspartyl and glutamyl diesters. The second method involving mixed diesters comprises a three-step protocol using (i) α-selective enzymatic methyl-esterification, (ii) chemical β-esterification, and finally (iii) α-selective enzymatic methyl ester hydrolysis. The yields of the purified β- and γ-esters range from 77% to 91%.
