Palladium-Catalyzed Transprotection of Allyloxycarbonyl-Protected Amines: Efficient One-Pot Formation of Amides and Dipeptides
摘要:
The synthetic utility of the N-(allyloxycarbonyl) (Alloc) substituent in alpha-amino acid derivatives is substantially extended beyond its well-known function as an amine protecting group. When the palladium-catalyzed deprotection is carried out by using tributyltin hydride as nucleophile (the Guibe method) in the presence of an active acylating agent a new acyl group is introduced on nitrogen. Successful acylating agents include carboxylic acid anhydrides, acid chlorides, and activated esters. A useful example of this methodology is the removal of the Alloc group in the presence of tert-butyl dicarbonate, which in essence amounts to a ''transprotection'' to a Boc-protected alpha-amino acid derivative. More importantly, the use of activated N-protected alpha-amino ester derivatives (e.g., pentafluorophenyl esters) leads to dipeptides. This new method for peptide coupling proceeds very fast under mild conditions, in good to excellent yields, and without noticeable racemization.

When the Pd(0)-catalyzed hydrostannolysis of the N-allyloxycarbonyl group is carried out in the presence of an activated carbonyl compound, a coupling product is formed. This new method appears to be applicable to the synthesis of a wide range of amides and peptides.
