[GRAPHICS]Syntheses of novel amino acids possessing a squaryl group, 1-3, in an optically active form are described. The syntheses of 1-3 were conducted by a concise route involving (1) an aldol addition of an enolate derived from Gly, L-Asp, or L-Glu to diisopropyl squarate (4) and (2) an efficient decarboxylation of the aldol adducts based on the electron-withdrawing property of the squaryl group. Introducing N-protected group to 2 and 3 and peptide formation reactions are also described.
