Alkane-gem-diboronic acids have emerged as versatile organoboron catalysts for dehydrative amidation of α-Amino acids. A phenol-substituted multiboron catalyst with a B-C-B structure outperformed simple arylboronic acids in the condensation of α-Amino acids with suppressed epimerization of electrophiles. gem-diboronic acid catalysis were compatible with various O, N, and S-functionalized α-Amino acids bearing N-protecting groups including common carbamates used in peptide synthesis (Boc, Cbz, Fmoc). N-Trifluoroacetyl protection enabled an unprecedented catalytic dehydrative peptide synthesis at room temperature. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed carboxylate-binding nature of gem-diboronic acids, orthogonal to the activation of carboxylic acids by arylboronic acids. The distinctive reactivity of the gem-diboronic acids would open prospects for mild catalytic peptide condensation.
Total Synthesis of Gombamide A

The first total synthesis of Gombamide A (1), a cytotoxic cyclic thiopeptide from the sponge Clathria gombawuiensis, has been achieved. Highlights of the convergent synthesis feature a disulfide bond forming cascade to close the 17-membered macrocycle and a selenoazidylation procedure to access the unusual para-hydroxystyrlyamide (pHSA) moiety. The synthesis required 18 steps, 11 steps in its longest linear sequence, and proceeded in 9.1% overall yield. This work will facilitate the study of the biological effects of Gombamide A and provide groundwork to explore the structure-activity relationship around this rare natural product.

The cis- and trans-isomers of (2S)-2-[3′(RS)-3′-benzyl-3′-benzyloxycarbonylprop-1′- enyl]-N-methoxycarbonylcarbonylpyrrolidines have been prepared from a Wittig reaction between (S)-N-Boc-prolinal and the phosphorus ylide from (2RS)-3-iodo-2-benzyl-1-triisopropylsilyloxypropane. In addition, (2S)-N-methoxycarbonylcarbonyl-2-[(3′RS)-1-oxo-3′-benzyl-3′- benzyloxycarbonylpropyl]pyrrolidine was prepared from the cis-alkene produced in the Wittig reaction. These were intended as peptide isosteres of the known inhibitors of HIV-lymphocyte binding N-methoxycarbonylcarbonylprolylphenylalanyl benzyl esters, but did not possess such activity.
