This paper describes an efficient method for constructing cyclic β-amino acids bearing quaternary stereocenters. NaHMDS-promoted asymmetric α-alkylation was employed to obtain the key intermediates with quaternary stereogenic centers, which were subsequently reduced by NaBH4 in 10% methanol in THF, with high yields and high diastereoselectivities. By removing the allyl ester group and the chiral auxiliary, the corresponding cyclic β-amino acid hydrochlorides were finally obtained.

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of N,N’-orthogonally protected imide tethered peptidomimetics is presented. The imide peptidomimetics were synthesized by coupling the in situ generated selenocarboxylate of Nα-protected amino acids with Nα-protected amino acid azides in good yields.

A simple, mild, green and efficient method for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzamides was highly desired in organic synthesis. Herein, we developed an efficient, one-pot strategy for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzamides with high yields irradiated by UV light. 32 examples proceeded successfully by this photo-induced protocol. The yield reached up to 92%. The gram scale was also achieved easily. This building block could be applied in the preparation of quinazolinones derivatives. Amino acid derivatives could be employed smoothly at room temperature. Finally, a plausible mechanism was proposed.

A highly efficient and enantioselective approach to the synthesis of functionalized benzofuran-3(2H)-ones is presented. It proceeds via an intramolecular Stetter reaction using β,β-disubstituted Michael acceptors in the construction of five-membered rings with fully-substituted quaternary stereogenic centers and is promoted by terpene-derived triazolium salts. As a result, a series of chiral 2,2-disubstituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives with linear, branched, and cyclic aliphatic substitutions on the quaternary stereogenic center were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee.

Several N-acyl derivatives of D-tryptophan, D-alanine, D-methionine, D-valine, and D-aspartic acid were synthesized in high yields using the succinimidyl ester method and examined for their antibotulinal properties. In conjunction with 60 ppm of sodium nitrite, sorbyl-D-tryptophan, sorbyl-D-alanine, myristoyl-D-aspartic acid, and glycyl-D-alanine were highly inhibitory. In the absence of sodium nitrite, the N-acyl derivatives of the D-amino acids were not inhibitory. On its own, 60 ppm of sodium nitrite was only slightly inhibitory. Sorbyl-L-tryptophan and sorbyl-L-alanine had no effect in the presence or absence of 60 ppm of sodium nitrite.

Various N-protected amino acids have been alkylated with p- methoxybenzyl chloride to give the corresponding esters. These were then converted into amino acid p-methoxybenzyl esters by selective acidolysis of the N-o-nitrophenylsulphenyl and N-trityl derivatives, or in poor yield by hydrazinolysis of the N-phthaloyl derivative. S- Benzylcysteine p-methoxybenzyl ester is obtained without racemiza- tion. These esters have been applied to the syntheses of several dipeptides, the ester group being cleaved by cold trifluoroacetic acid.

Abstract An efficient method for enantioselective construction of bridged [2, 2, 1] bicyclic lactones bearing a quaternary stereocenter was achieved by Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation /intramolecular cyclization/PCC oxidation. By employing a hybrid phosphine-phosphite chiral ligand, a series of cyclopent-3-en-1-ols were transformed into their corresponding y-hydroxyl aldehydes with specific syn-selectivity, then hemiacetal formed in situ and oxidized by PCC in one-pot, affording bridged [2,2,1] bicyclic lactones in high yields and excellent enantiomeric excess. Replacing the hydroxyl group by an ester group, cyclopentanecarbaldehydes with a chiral all-carbon quaternary stereocenter in the γ-position can be generated efficiently. Gram-scale reaction and several transformations to corresponding amide, alcohol and acid demonstrated the practical value of this methodology.

Cyclopropanated iminosugars have a locked conformation that may enhance the inhibitory activity and selectivity against different glycosidases. We show the synthesis of new cyclopropane-containing piperidines bearing five stereogenic centers from natural amino acids l-serine and l-alanine. Those prepared from the latter amino acid may mimic l-fucose, a natural-occurring monosaccharide involved in many molecular recognition events. Final compounds prepared from l-serine bear S configurations on the C5 position. The synthesis involved a stereoselective cyclopropanation reaction of an α,β-unsaturated piperidone, which was prepared through a ring-closing metathesis. The final compounds were tested as possible inhibitors of different glycosidases. The results, although, in general, with low inhibition activity, showed selectivity, depending on the compound and enzyme, and in some cases, an unexpected activity enhancement was observed.
