Configuration-Dependent Medium-Sized Ring Formation: Chiral Molecular Framework with Three-Dimensional Architecture

This report describes a configuration-dependent [6 + 8 + 5] fused ring formation via a tandem cyclic N-acyliminium nucleophilic addition reaction. Cyclization of the acyclic precursor prepared on a solid phase using l-Ser and a racemic mixture of Fmoc-trans-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid predominantly yielded the cyclic diastereomer with the (1R,2R)-2-aminocyclohexane moiety rather than the tricyclic diastereomer from the (1S,2S)-enantiomer. In contrast, the model compound prepared with d-Ser predominantly cyclized with the (1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid substrate. The outcome of the cyclization was not influenced by the type of resin, the spacer, or the N-substituent. The analogous synthesis of the [6 + 7 + 5] fused ring system yielded inseparable diastereomers in a 1:0.6 ratio.Fil: Cankarova, Nadezda. Palacky University; República ChecaFil: la Venia, Agustina.

Regioselective Incorporation of Backbone Constraints Compatible with Traditional Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis

A protected aldehyde was attached via a twocarbon spacer to a peptide backbone amide nitrogen during a traditional Merrifield solid-phase synthesis. Acid-mediated unmasking of the aldehyde triggered the regioselective formation of cyclic N-acyliminiums between the aldehyde and the neighboring peptide amide nitrogen. In the absence of an internal nucleophile, the cyclic iminiums formed dihydropyrazinones, a six-membered peptide backbone constraint between two peptide amides. In the presence of an internal nucleophile, tetrahydropyrazinopyrimidinediones or tetrahydroimidazopyrazinediones were formed via tandem N-acyliminium ion cyclization-nucleophilic addition. The outcome of this nucleophilic addition was dependent on the substituent on the nitrogen nucleophile.Fil: la Venia, Agustina. Palacky University; República Checa.
