Terminally protected Boc-(,S)-beta(3)-H-DOPA-OMe has been synthesized from L-DOPA by the Arndt-Eistert homologation procedure. During the synthesis, the side-chain catechol group was temporarily protected by benzylation. The absence of racemization was demonstrated by F-19 NMR analysis of the (+)-(R)- and (-)-(S)-alpha-methoxy-alpha-trifluoromethyl-alpha-phenyl-acetamide derivatives. The catechol function of Boc-(S)-beta(3)-H-DOPA-OMe may be used for crown-ether formation, a step towards the construction of crowned beta-peptides. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
