SmI2 Reduced Thioesters as Synthons of Unstable Acyl Radicals: Direct Synthesis of Potential Protease Inhibitors via Intermolecular Radical Addition
摘要:
Aromatic alpha-heterosubstituted thioesters were found to undergo radical 1,4-addition reactions to a series of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides and one ester when subjected to the single electron reducing agent, samarium diiodide, at -78 degrees C. These thioesters derived from alpha-amino acids represent a synthetically useful synthon of unstable acyl radicals. This reaction conveniently provides access to gamma-ketoamides and esters in yields up to 90%, structures that are common in various protease inhibitors derived from peptides. Examples with acryloyl and methacryloyl derivatives of alpha-amino acids and dipeptides lead directly to tri- and tetrapeptide mimetics possessing the gamma-ketoamide functionality. No epimerization was observed with the mild conditions used for these reactions.
functionalized acyclic chiral pyrroloamide compounds were synthesized by a simple and robust process involving the creation of a C-C bond between unprotected pyrroles and acyclic chiral acrylamides using Lewis acids. This alkylation reaction using Michael acceptors has been optimized, allowing us to obtain channel selective access to monoalkylated or dialkylated pyrroles, in good yields. Di- and tripeptide deriving

[reaction: see text] Alkyl nitrones undergo radical addition reactions to a series of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides and esters when subjected to samarium diiodide via a nitrogen equivalent to a ketyl radical anion. This reaction conveniently provides access to a variety of functionalized gamma-amino acids. The methodology was extended to the asymmetric synthesis of 4-substituted gamma-amino acids,
