Modular Synthesis of Tripeptide Analogs with an Aminobitriazole Skeleton Using Diynyl Benziodoxolone as a Trivalent Platform.

A new synthesis method of tripeptide analogs with an aminobitriazole skeleton was proposed. The method involves assembling three amino acid-derived modules at the amino group site and onto a triisopropylsilyl diynyl benziodoxolone by copper-catalyzed electrophilic diynylation of amino acid-derived sulfonamides, chemoselective azide-alkyne cycloadditions with amino acid-derived azides, and deprotection. Various complex aminobitriazoles substituted with pyrene, nucleoside, and -acetylglucosamine were also synthesized.
