Reverse Turn Induced π-Facial Selectivity during Polyaniline-Supported Cobalt(II) Salen Catalyzed Aerobic Epoxidation of N-Cinnamoyl l-Proline Derived Peptides
摘要:
A novel chemo- and diastereoselective aerobic epoxidation of the N-cinnamoyl peptides catalyzed by polyaniline-supported cobalt(II) salen (PASCOS) is described. The N-cinnamoyl proline derived peptides 1 show a high pi-facial selectivity during these epoxidations. The origin of this diastereo-selectivity in 1 has been attributed to (i) the propensity of the N-cinnamoyl proline amide to exist predominantly as trans rotamer in CDCl3, DMSO-d(6), and CH3CN medium and (ii) existence of these peptides as organized structures (gamma- and beta-turns) due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. An extensive solution NMR and MD simulation study on 1d and 1f indicates that the origin of the high pi-facial selectivity is due to the well-defined gamma- and beta-turns which result in the hindrance of one face of the cinnamoyl double bond in the transition state of the epoxidation reaction.
Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Substituted Phenylalanine-β-phenylisoserine-Derived Tripeptides Using N-Cinnamoyl-l-proline as Template: Synthesis of Structural Analogues of HIV Protease Inhibitors
摘要:
N-Cinnamoyl-L-proline can be used as a template on which P-substituted phenylalanine and beta-phenylisoserine residues can be synthesized leading to tripeptide derivatives as structural analogues of HIV protease inhibitors.
Tripeptides containing proline and analogues of phenylalanine lead to the formation of beta-turn structures. The synthesis and beta-turn properties of four such compounds are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
