摘要:
The enantioselective synthesis of a new tricyclic tyrosine analogue is reported. This conformation-contrained SH2 domain ligand scaffold 2 was designed on the basis of the natural ligand, whose structure contains the elements of a tyrosine moiety having chi(1) and chi(2) angles constrained to values observed for a phosp(h)otyrosyl (pTyr) residue bound to the p56(lck) SH2 domain. It represents a unique, highly constrained amino acid, which may be of value in signal transduction studies. Three key steps, an asymmetric tandem Michael addition, an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction, and an intramolecular Mannich reaction, were successfully applied in the presented synthetic route.
