Electrochemical Cyclization of Dipeptides toward Novel Bicyclic, Reverse-Turn Peptidomimetics. 1. Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of 7,5-Bicyclic Systems
摘要:
Novel, highly constrained, 7,5-bicyclic dipeptides (1-aza-6-oxa-2-oxobicyclo[5.3.0]decane ring skeletons, 3Sa and 7Sa) have been synthesized on a 40 mmol scale in similar to 50% yield by a one-step electrochemical cyclization from the dipeptides Boc-L-homoserine-L-proline-OMe (Boc-Hse-Pro-OMe) and Boc-Hse-D-Pro-OMe. The reaction involved a selective anodic amide oxidation which was highly diastereoselective, generating a new chiral center having an S configuration from both precursors. In terms of conformation, the bicyclic system restricts two (psi 2 and phi 3) of the four torsion angles that characterize a reverse turn. Conformational analysis of these molecules and analogs having an R configuration at the ring fusion revealed some families of minimum energy conformations with torsion angles close to those of classical beta-turns, a secondary structural feature found in many bioactive peptides. This new ring skeleton was stable to trifluoroacetic acid, dilute base, and anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, making it compatible with standard solid phase peptide synthesis methodologies.

A series of silyl-substituted amino acids have been synthesized, inserted into peptides, and then employed as precursors for oxidatively generating reactive N-acyliminium ions. Both electrochemical and chemical oxidation procedures have been employed. N-Acyliminium ion generation in a solid-phase substrate as well as application to a small library of functionalized dipeptides has been demonstrated. Limitations in terms of how electron-rich the silyl groups can be as well as the compatibility of multiple silyl groups within a longer peptide are defined.
