Diastereo- and Enantioselective Addition of Anilide-Functionalized Allenoates to N-Acylimines Catalyzed by a Pyridylalanine-Based Peptide
摘要:
A selective peptide-catalyzed addition of allenic esters to N-acylimines is reported. Tetrasubstituted allenes were achieved with up to 42:1 diastereomeric ratio and 94:6 enantiomeric ratio (up to 99:1 er after recrystallization of the major diastereomer). An exploration of the role of individual amino acids within the peptide was undertaken. The scope of the reaction was explored and revealed heightened reactivity with thioester-containing allenes. A mechanistic framework that may account for the observed reactivity is also described.
The present invention discloses compounds of Formula (Ia), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof:
which inhibit coronavirus replication activity. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of treating or preventing a coronavirus infection in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
