α,α-Disubstituted alkenyl amino acid derivatives (e.g. Fmoc-S5-OH) are valuable monomers in the construction of stapled peptide derivatives. Synthetic access to these is possible using the Ni-[(Benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone (BPB) complex as a chiral auxiliary. We discuss a reappraisal of the use of this, and demonstrate that epimerisation of the proline α-centre occurs during formation of the complex, leading to erosion in the enantiomeric excess of the final product. Modified conditions have been developed, providing the target compounds in high enantiomeric excess.

Ring-closing metathesis is commonly utilized in peptide macro-cyclization. The influence of α-methylation of the amino acids bearing the olefin moieties has never been systematically studied. In this report, controlled reactions unambiguously indicate that α-methylation at the N-terminus of the metathesis sites is crucial for this reaction to occur. Also, we first elucidated that the E-isomers of stapled peptides are significantly more helical than the Z-isomers.

The preparation of optically pure quaternary piperidines, both fluorinated and non-fluorinated, has been achieved from a chiral imino lactone derived from (R)-phenylglycinol. In the case of the fluorinated derivatives, the addition of (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMSCF3) followed by iodoamination and migration of the CF3 group allowed access to four derivatives of α-(trifluoromethyl)pipecolic acid. A theoretical study of the CF 3-group rearrangement has been carried out to help establish the reaction mechanism of this uncommon transformation. Moreover, a route to trifluoromethyl-substituted iminosugars was also developed through the diastereoselective dihydroxylation of suitable synthetic intermediates. Conversely, alkylation of the starting substrate and subsequent cross-metathesis and aza-Michael reactions led to α-alkyl derivatives of the target compounds. Copyright
