Amide linkage of glycine-amino acid was synthesized by coupling of substituted 2-(aminomethyl)malononitrile as a C-terminal glycine unit and N-terminal amine using CsOAc and O2in an aqueous solution. This is a coupling reagent-free and catalyst-free peptide synthesisviaoxidative amide bond formation. Various tripeptides and tetrapeptides were synthesized efficiently and the sulfide moiety is inert even under an oxygen atmosphere.

A concise and modular total synthesis of the highly potent N14-desacetoxytubulysin H (1) has been accomplished in 18 steps in an overall yield of up to 30percent. Our work highlights the complexity-augmenting and route-shortening power of diastereoselective multicomponent reaction (MCR) as well as the role of bulky ligands to perfectly control both the regioselective and diastereoselective synthesis of tubuphenylalanine in just two steps. The total synthesis not only provides an operationally simple and step economy but will also stimulate major advances in the development of new tubulysin analogues.

, (2020/03/13)
The stereochemistry of selective anticancer compound FE399 was determined to be rel-9R,14R,17R by theoretical and synthetic studies. Relative stereochemistry of FE399 was predicted by comparison of the 13C NMR chemical shifts of the natural sample with that predicted by theoretical calculation for each possible stereoisomer. The first synthesis of (9R,14R,17R)-(?)-FE399 was achieved using an amide formation of a dithiazocane with a hydroxy dodecanoic acid derivatives and sixteen-membered macrolactonization as key steps. The overall yield was 18% in ten steps from L-cysteine and (S)-glycidyl tosylate.

Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are highly strained carbocycles that have emerged as versatile synthetic tools, particularly for the construction of functionalized small molecules. This work reports two efficient pathways for the rapid preparation of over 20 structurally diverse BCB ketones, encompassing simple alkyl and aryl derivatives, as well as unprecedented amino acid, dipeptide, bioisostere, and bifunctional linchpin reagents currently inaccessible using literature methods. Analogues are readily forged in two steps and in high yields from simple carboxylic acids or through unsymmetrical ketone synthesis beginning with a convenient carbonyl dication equivalent. The utility of this novel toolbox of strained electrophiles for the selective modification of proteinogenic nucleophiles is highlighted.

A general strategy is introduced for the efficient synthetic access of disulfide linked artificial macrocycles via a Ugi four-component reaction (U4CR) followed by oxidative cyclization. The double-mercapto input is proposed for use in the Ugi reaction, thereby yielding all six topologically possible combinations. The protocol is convergent and short and enables the production of novel disulfide peptidomimetics in a highly general fashion.

An alternative approach toward the simple and robust synthesis of highly substituted peptidic thiazole derivatives using Ugi-multicomponent reaction (U-MCR) is described. Thus, we introduced the enantiopure (R)-2-methyl-2-isocyano-3-(tritylthio)propanoate as a novel class of isocyanide in MCR. This bifunctional isocyanide was found to undergo mild cyclodehydration to afford thiazole containing peptidomimetics in a short synthetic sequence. Several examples of bis-heterocyclic rings were also synthesized through the proper choice of the aldehyde component in the U-4CR. The method opens a wide range of applications toward the synthesis of nonribosomal natural products and other bioactive compounds.

The challenge of developing organic molecules with improved antioxidant activities for a competitive marketplace requires, given the great amount of possibilities, much laboratory work. Nowadays, the ability of methodologies based on quantum chemistry to determine the influence of different modifications on a molecule core provides a powerful tool for selecting the most useful derivatives to be synthesized. Here, we report the results of the assessment of antioxidant activity for quaternary amino acids, specifically for cysteine derivatives. The effect of introducing different substituents on the cysteine core is evaluated by using DFT to obtain an adequate structure-antioxidant activity relationship. This theoretical study shows a small panel of targets among which (R)-N-acetyl-2-methylcysteine methyl ester 15 exhibits special features and relevant antioxidant activity. The conformational 1H NMR study of this synthesized compound indicates the existence of an intramolecular C7 member ring involving S-H?OC substructure, which is reported for the first time in the literature for this amino acid unit. This unusual conformation seems to be the reason for the high antioxidant capacity experimentally found for this compound.
Development of a new enzyme-responsive self-immolative spacer conjugate applicable to the controlled drug release
Jin, Hui-Juan,Lu, Jing,Wu, Xue
experimental part, p. 3465 - 3469 (2012/08/08)
A new self-immolative spacer conjugate based on a chemical adaptor unit aiming at controlled releasing drugs was designed and synthesized. It releases a fluorophore which was used as a model drug via a spontaneous cyclization mechanism after cleavage of an enzyme substrate. This system was proved to be stable under physiological conditions and only decomposed triggered by enzyme. It provides a generic linkage allowing connection of a variety of drugs and targeted devices to the chemical adaptor.
