The amino and diamino dihydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres 19a,b and 23 are important intermediates for the preparation of inhibitors of human renin and HIV-1 protease, respectively. A general synthetic strategy was developed to access both dipeptide isosteres. The key step was a diastereoselective addition of an alkyllithium reagent to an aldehyde hydrazone. Thus, isosteres 19a and 19b were synthesized by addition of either benzyllithium or (cyclohexylmethyl)lithium to (4S,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2-methylpropan-1-yl)-5-formyl-1,3-dioxolane N,N-dimethylhydrazone (4) in diethyl ether at -10-degrees-C. The hydrazine addition product was reduced to the amine, and the acetonide protecting group was removed. The resulting amino diol was derivatized as either a N-Boc analogue or coupled to N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-3-(thiazol-4-yl)alanine. The addition reactions were completely diastereoselective, affording only the chelation-controlled products (beta attack, S configuration at C(2)). Hydrazone 4 was prepared from either D-isoascorbic acid (1), divinyl carbinol (5), or chlorobenzene (9). Application of the hydrazone/alkyllithium reaction to the synthesis of the diamino dihydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere 23 was also achieved. Reaction of the bis-hydrazone 22 with benyllithium, followed by Raney nickel reduction of the hydrazine addition product, formation of the bis-benzyl carbamate, and deprotection of the acetonide with methanolic HCI gave the diamino dihydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere 23 in 36 % overall yield (four steps). Isostere 23 is an intermediate useful for the preparation Of C2 symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitors.
