Stereocontrolled approaches to (+)- and (−)-γ-trifluoromethyl-GABOB, a new hydroxymethylene (statine) dipeptide isostere
摘要:
Two efficient approaches to both enantiomers of syn-gamma-triffuoromethyl gamma-amino beta-hydroxy butyric acid (gamma-Tfm-GABOB) (10), a new hydroxymethylene (statine) dipeptide isostere, are described. One exploits the recently disclosed 'non-oxidative' Pummerer reaction, by means of which ex-lithium alkyl sulfoxides are used as chiral alpha-hydroxyalkyl anion equivalents in the synthesis of beta-amino alcohols. Trifluoropyruvaldehyde-N,S-ketal (R)-11, a novel stereochemically stable synthetic equivalent of alpha-amino trifluoropropanal, is used in the second approach. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Total synthesis of a pepstatin analog incorporating two trifluoromethyl hydroxymethylene isosteres (Tfm-GABOB) and evaluation of Tfm-GABOB containing peptides as inhibitors of HIV-1 protease and MMP-9
We describe the asymmetric total synthesis of a trifluoromethyl (Tfm) analogue of the aspartate proteaseinhibitor pepstatin incorporating two γ-Tfm-γ-amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid (γ-Tfm-GABOB) units instead of the natural statine units. The title compound as well as several Tfm-substituted precursors were tested as inhibitors of HIV-1protease and Gelatinase B (MMP-9)
Enantiomerically pure a-Li alkyl-sulfoxides can be used as chiral cl-chloroalkyl carbanions with N-protected imines by means of the 'non-oxidative' chloro-Pummerer reaction (NOCPR). This novel methodology allows for a one-pot displacement of a sulfinyl group by chlorine from N-alkoxycarbonyl beta -sulfinylamines derived from aryl, fluoroalkyl and alkyl imines, with clean stereoinversion at carbon. Several 1,2-chloroamines produced via NOCPR were transformed into the corresponding aziridines. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
