Application of Peptidyl Radicals into a New Radical Cascade Leading to Unsaturated γ-Lactams
摘要:
Radical cyclization of dipeptides 1a-h proceeds smoothly to give five- and seven-membered rings in good to moderate total yields using Stork's catalytic tin hydride method. A radical is generated on a protecting group and translocated to the peptide moiety. Following a cyclization reaction, the vinyl radical can abstract hydrogen from a benzyl group on an amine, which results in elimination of the protected amine group. Encouraging results have notably been obtained with amino acids other than glycine.

Application of the Radical Cascade of Acyclic Peptide-Based Precursors into Analogues of Type I β-Turn
Radical cyclizations of di-, tri- and tetrapeptides containing N-2-bromobenzyl,N-methyl-substituted alanine or aspartic acid lead in good yields to α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams. The overall cascade, relying on a hydrogen atom transfer-elimination strategy could serve as a way to incorporate a flat and rigid five-membered ring into the peptide framework.
