Synthesis of Histidinoalanine: A Comparison of β-Lactone and Sulfamidate Electrophiles
摘要:
Previous syntheses of histidinoalanine (HAL) have led to mixtures of regioisomers and/or stereoisomers. For example, opening of N-Cbz-D-serine-beta-lactone (6) with Boc-L-His-OMe (5) gave a 2:1 mixture of tau- and pi-regioisomers. The sulfamidate 10, derived from N-benzyl-D-serine methyl ester (11), was reacted with Boc-L-His-OMe (5) to give the tau-HAL derivative 17 as a single isomer in 57% yield. A similarly prepared tau-HAL 19, bearing protecting groups that were all hydrogenolytically labile, led to the free bis-amino acid, tau-L-histidinyl-D-alanine (tau-4), as a salt-free standard for amino acid analysis.
There are several examples of marine organisms whose metabolic profiles differ among conspecifics inhabiting the same region. We have analyzed the metabolic profile of each colony of a Theonella swinhoei marinesponge with a yellow interior and noticed the patchy distribution of one metabolite. This compound was isolated and its structure was studied by a combination of spectrometric analyses and chemical
