Synthesis of sterically high demanding α-alkylated amino acids via Claisen rearrangement of chelated enolates
Kazmaier, Uli,Maier, Sabine
, p. 941 - 954 (1996)
Ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of chelated N-protected amino acid allylic esters 1 and 4 results in the formation of α-alkylated γ,δ-unsaturated amino acids 3 and 5 in good yields and in a highly diastereoselective fashion.

Following a peptide coupling/metathesis-based strategy, the two diastereomeric scaffolds ProM-3 and ProM-7 were stereoselectively synthesized (as 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl derivatives), and their configuration was unambiguously proven by means of X-ray crystallography. The required dehydroisoleucine building blocks were prepared by applying the enantioselective Kazmaier-Claisen rearrangement. The target compounds represent dipeptide analogs rigidified in a PPII helix conformation, which are of interest for the development of new proteomimetics that selectively bind to protein domains specialized in the recognition of ligands adopting a PPII helix secondary structure. Starting from amino acid building blocks with an olefin side chain, the diastereomeric scaffolds ProM-3 and ProM-7 are synthesized through peptide coupling and ring-closing metathesis. The conformationally defined dipeptide analogs are of interest as building blocks for the synthesis of modular PPII helix secondary structure mimetics as tailored inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.

Exploration of the molecular origin of the azinomycin epoxide: Timing of the biosynthesis revealed

(Equation Presented) Streptomyces sahachiroi whole cell feeding experiments, utilizing putative precursors labeled with stable isotopes, established that the epoxide unit of the DNA cross-linked agents, azinomycin A and B, proceeds via a valine-dependent pathway and that hydroxylation and dehydration precedes formation of the terminal epoxide. Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutenoate, formed through a transimination reaction, was shown to be the penultimate precursor incorporated into the azinomycin epoxide.
