Helicalversus Planar Conformation of Homooligopeptides Prepared from Diethylglycine (=2-Amino-2-ethylbutanoic Acid)
摘要:
Homooligopeptides containing alpha,alpha-diethylgycine (= 2-amino-2-ethylbutanoic acid), were synthesized by conventional solution methods. An ethyl or methyl ester was used as protecting group at the C-terminus and a trifluoroacetyl group as protecting group at the N-terminus of the peptides. The conformations of such tri-, penta-, and hexapeptides in the solid stare were studied using X-ray crystallographic analysis, and were shown to be a bent planar CS-conformation in the case of tripeptide 8a, and a 3(10)-helical structure in the case of pentapeptide 10 and hexapeptide 11. IR and H-1-NMR spectra revealed that the dominant conformation of hexapeptide 11 in CDCl3 solution was not the 3(10)-helical structure shown in the solid state, but a fully planar C5 structure.

consecutive fully‐extended conformation (2.05‐helix) has been already clearly demonstrated in homo‐oligopeptides based on quaternary α‐amino acids with bothsidechainslongerthanmethyls, but not cyclized on the α‐carbon atom. To extend the scope of this research, in this work we investigated the occurrence of this flat 3D‐structure in hetero‐oligopeptides, each composed of two or three different residues of
active peptidefoldamers Tfa-[(S)-(alphaEt)Leu]-[(S)-(alphaEt)Nva]-Deg-[(S)-(alphaEt)Nle]-OEt (10) and Tfa-[(S)-(alphaEt)Val]-[(S)-(alphaEt)Leu]-[(S)-(alphaEt)Nva]-Deg-[(S)-(alphaEt)Nl e]-OEt (11) composed of diverse alpha-ethylated alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids were synthesized. The dominant conformation of these peptides in solution was an unusual, fully extendedplanarconformation, and
