2,3-Pyrrolidinedicarboxylates as Neurotransmitter Conformer Mimics: Enantioselective Synthesis via Chelation-Controlled Enolate Alkylation
摘要:
Conformationally restricted analogs of naturally-occurring amino acids can serve in a variety of ways as protein structure/function probes. A diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of the four stereoisomers of 2,3-pyrrolidinedicarboxylic acid (an analog of aspartic acid) are described in this paper. The key step is a Rapoport-type aspartate alkylation that can be controlled to give good yields of either diastereomer as a function of enolate geometry. A novel type of chelation control is proposed to account for these results.

element of the cell. There is a diverse group of toxic natural products that inhibit certain phosphatases, thereby disrupting normal biochemical pathways. These toxins can be useful for dissecting the individual biochemical pathways associated with each of these enzymes. This Article describes the first total synthesis of one such toxin, the cyclic heptapeptide microcystin-LA. The synthesis features a convergent
