Diastereofacial selectivity in reduction of chiral tetramic acids
摘要:
The reduction of (5S)-5-alkyl-2,4-dioxopyrrolidines, so-called tetramic acids, by NaBH4 gives only partial diastereofacial selectivity in the case of the N-substituted analogues 9f-i, unlike the carbamate derivatives 9a-3 which give the reduced cis-pyrrolidinones 10betaa-e. Increasing the steric hindrance of either the N- or C-5-substituents enhances the re-face selectivity. On the other hand, reduction of the heterobicyclic compound 9n leads to a dramatic reversal of the stereoselectivity. Preliminary calculations show that the N-atom of the ring is slightly pyramidalized; the direction of hydride addition could be a consequence of this finding.
An acid promoted cyclisation of benzylidene-modified tetramic acid and various enamines followed by MnO2 oxidation afforded the corresponding C2-symmetric and unsymmetric lactam-fused pyridines in enantiomerically pure forms.

The pyrrolidine-2,4-diones have been identified as a convenient starting point for the synthesis of peptide analogues. Herein we describe an optimized two-step reductive amination procedure, which provides a small library of pyrrolidinone-containing dipeptide analogues in high yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.
An improved process for the preparation of statine, the phenyl analog of statine, the cyclohexyl analog of statine and derivatives thereof is described, as well as other valuable intermediates used in the process.

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.

Peptidomimetics 1-3 were prepared from amino acid-derived tetramic acids 7 as the key starting materials. Calculations show that preferred conformations of 1 can align their side-chain vectors with amino acids in common secondary structures more effectively than conformations of 3. A good fit was found for a preferred conformation of 2 (an extended derivative of 1) with a sheet/beta-turn/sheet motif.
