Novel potential HIV protease inhibitors are obtained by an enantioconvergent synthesis of mimicking Phe-Pro dipeptides, achieved through the coupling between Boc(L)Phe or Boc(L)Tyr and both enantiomers of syn-2-benzylpyrrolidin-3-ol and their corresponding pyrrolidin-3-one analogs. The stereochemistry and enantiopurity of intermediate 3-hydroxypyrrolidines 5a and 5b are determined through 1H NMR analysis, and through the synthesis and 19F NMR assignments of the corresponding Mosher’s esters 13a and 13b. The enantiopure compounds 5a and 5b are obtained with 100% diastereoselectivity using specific experimental reductive conditions upon Meldrum’s acid derivatives of activated aromatic amino acids.
(S)-3-(Dimethylamino)methylidene-5-benzyltetramic acid derivatives 4a and 4b were prepared in three steps from N-protected (S)-3-phenylalanines 1a and 1b, respectively. Similarly, N-[N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycyl]glycine (1c) was transformed into the enaminone 4c. Acid-catalysed coupling of enaminones 4a-c with aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic primary amines 5-34 afforded the corresponding N(3′)-substituted 3-aminomethylidenetetramic acid derivatives 35-64 in 29-96% yields.
The synthesis of chiral N-protected tetramic acid derivatives which are important precursors of β-hydroxy γ-amino acid under mild conditions is described. Reaction of urethane-N-carboxyanhydrides (UNCAs) with Meldrum's acid in the presence of a tertiary amine, followed by subsequent cyclisation produced tetramic acid derivatives. This procedure is applicable to Boc-, Fmoc- and Z- N-carboxyanhydrides

Oligo-pyrrolinone-pyrrolidines (generic structure 1) have the potential to interfere with protein-protein interactions (PPIs), but to reduce this to practice it is necessary to be able to synthesize these structures with a variety of different side chains corresponding to genetically encoded proteins. This paper describes expansion of the synthetic scope of 1, the difficulties encountered in this process, particularly issues with epimerization and slow coupling rates, and methods to overcome them. Finally, spectroscopic and physicochemical properties as well as proteolytic stabilities of molecules in this series were measured; these data highlight the suitability of oligo-pyrrolinone-pyrrolidines for the development of pharmacological probes or pharmaceutical leads.
