Two syntheses of natural viridic acid, an unusual triply N-methylated peptide with two anthranilate units, are presented. The first one is based on peptide-coupling strategies and affords the optically active natural product in 20% overall yield over six steps. A more economical approach with only four steps leads to the similarly active racemate by utilizing a Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR) as the key transformation. A small library of viridic acid analogues is readily available to provide first SAR insight. The biological activities of the natural product and its derivatives against the Gram-negative bacterium Aliivibrio fischeri were evaluated.
Synthesis and use of 2H-azirin-3-amines as dipeptide synthons
Breitenmoser, Roland A.,Heimgartner, Heinz

The synthesis of the new 2H-azirin-3-amines ('3-amino-2H-azirines') 11, 20, 28, and 33 as dipeptide synthons is described. The reactions of the starting amides with Lawesson reagent gave the corresponding thioamides, and consecutive treatment with COCl2, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), and NaN3 led to the desired products. It is shown that these 2H-azirin-3-amines can conveniently be used as building blocks of the dipeptides Aib-(Me)Axx (Axx=alanine, valine), Aib-Homoproline, and Iva-Pro in the synthesis of several model peptides. However, some limitations apply for the synthesis of such 2H-azirin-3-amines. The starting material for the azirine synthesis, the corresponding thioamides, cannot generally be synthesized, and the 2H-azirin-3-amines could not be obtained in all cases from the thioamides prepared.
An efficient synthesis of N-methylamino acids and some of their derivatives
Spengler, Jan,Burger, Klaus
, p. 67 - 70 (2007/10/03)
N-Methylamino acid derivatives are obtained in high yield by a stereoselective one-pot procedure from hexafluoroacetone protected amino acids via N-chloromethylation and treatment with triethylsilane/trifluoroacetic acid.
