Exploring the reaction of formaldehyde with α-N-protected amino acid hydrazides

The reaction of formaldehyde with enantiomerically pure α-N-protected amino acid hydrazides is described. The system has been investigated in different solvents, including both aqueous formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde, with the aim of simplifying the final reaction mixture. Aqueous formaldehyde in refluxing THF proved to be the best combination, affording mainly the corresponding monomeric N-methylene and 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine derivatives. The monomeric form was the only one present at high temperature, as evidenced by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.Key words: amino acid hydrazides, formaldehyde, condensation reactions, monomeric N-methylene derivatives, oligomers.

Glucosylation of the cis- and trans-isomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol (1a/1b, 2a/2b, 1a or 2a) was performed to prepare the corresponding alkyl β-D-glucopyranosides, mainly to get analytical data of pure enantiomers of the glucosides (3a-6b), required for subsequent investigations of related compounds with biological activity. One of the employed modifications of the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis resulted in achieving 85-95% yields of pure β-anomers 3a/3b, 4a/4b, 3a or 4a of protected intermediates, with several promoters and toluene as solvent, yielding finally the deprotected products 5a/5b, 6a/6b, 5a or 6a as pure β-anomers. To obtain enantiomerically pure β-anomers of the target structure (3a, 4a, 5a and 6a) for unambiguous structure assignment, an enzymic reduction of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-one by Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole cells was performed to get (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-enantiomers (1a and 2a) of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol. The opposite enantiomers of alkyl β-D-glucopyranosides (5b and 6b) were obtained by separation of the diastereoisomeric mixtures 5a/5b and 6a/6b by chiral HPLC. All stereoisomers of the products (3a-6b) were subjected to a detailed 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis.

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.
