Abstract
Structurally constraint dipeptidomimetics represent an important class of conformationally rigid dipeptide surrogates and molecular scaffolds, which are frequently employed in peptide-based structure-activity relationships (SAR) and construction of combinatorial libraries. We report on the design of an improved and general synthetic procedure to prepare synthons related to the trisubstituted 1,2,5-hexahydro-3-one-1H-1,4-diazepines [DAP(Xxx)(alpha7)] (DAP: 1,2,5-hexahydro-3-one-1H-1,4-diazepine; DAP(Xxx)(alpha7): the homologous series of DAP in which alpha refers to the location of the chiral carbon in the i(th) amino acid, Xxx represents the three letter notation for the i-1 amino acids, and 7 denotes the number of atoms in the ring) and their higher homologs [DAP(Xxx)(alphaN)] [Xxx = Phe, Asp(beta-OcHex) (cHex: cyclohexyl), and Arg(N(G)-Tos] (Tos: p-toluenesulfonyl); N = 8-10]. These dipetidomimetic structures are generated by reductive alkylation-mediated Calpha(i)-to-N(i-1) bridging between a Calpha (i)-(CH(2))(i-1)(n)-COSEt (n = 1-4) and H(2)N-C(i-1)HR-CO(2)Fm (Fm: 9-fluorenylmethyl) followed by H(2)N(i)-to-C(i-1)-CO(2)H lactam formation. We also describe the preparation of blocked N-Ac-[DAP(Phe)(alphaN)]-CONMe(2) (N = 8-10), which serve as model systems for detailed conformational analysis reported in the accompanying article.
