Alpha-hydroxy-beta-amino acids were synthesized with excellent yields for the first time in water and by a simple procedure based on a copper catalytic cycle, which included the recovery and reuse of the catalyst and is possible to realize by using only water as reaction medium.

The one-pot MAC (Masked Acyl Cyanide) reaction is used to perform the tandem oxyhomologation reaction of -dibenzyl-l-phenylalaninal and coupling with nitrogen nucleophiles to provide a wide selection of amide and peptide derivatives of (2,3)-allophenylnorstatin in generally good yields and with high selectivity, often with dr >98:2. The procedure works equally well with other selected -dibenzyl α-amino aldehydes, and is used to achieve a very short synthesis of (23)-epibestatin.

The oxytocinase subfamily of M1 zinc aminopeptidases comprises emerging drug targets, including the ER-resident aminopeptidases 1 and 2 (ERAP1 and ERAP2) and insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP); however, reports on clinically relevant inhibitors are limited. Here we report a new synthetic approach of high diastereo- and regioselectivity for functionalization of the α-hydroxy-β-amino acid scaffold of bestatin. Stereochemistry and mechanism of inhibition were investigated by a high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of ERAP1 in complex with a micromolar inhibitor.

Iodine(III)-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions Enabling a Direct Access to β-Lactams and α-Hydroxy-β-amino Acids.

Department of Chemistry and Catalysis Research Center (CRC), Technical University of Munich, Lichtenbergstrasse 4, 85747 Garching, Germany.

In the presented method, a one-pot metal-free access to β-lactams is provided. The developed strategy employs a hypervalent iodine(III)-triggered bromination/rearrangement/cyclization cascade reaction that allows the straightforward synthesis of a broad range of structurally different lactams from cheap and easily available imides. This triple cascade reaction is furthermore extendable by an in situ ring-opening reaction, giving direct access to isoserine derivatives from simple imines in a four-step, one-pot reaction.

A silyllithium-initiated coupling of α-ketoamides with tert-butanesulfinylimines was developed for the efficient, stereoselective synthesis of enantioenriched α-(silyloxy)-β-amino amides. Nucleophilic addition of silyllithium to α-ketoamides, followed by 1,2-Brook rearrangement, generates nucleophilic enolates, which are then intercepted by chiral imines to provide three-component coupling products. Use of α-ketoamides is critical for achieving high yields and diastereoselectivities in the resulting α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives.

Four structures of oxoindolyl α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives, namely, methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate, C24H28N2O6, (I), methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-ethoxy-2-phenylacetate, C25H30N2O6, (II), methyl 2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-2-phenylacetate, C31H34N2O7, (III), and methyl 2-[(anthracen-9-yl)methoxy]-2-{3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl}-2-phenylacetate, C38H36N2O6, (IV), have been determined. The diastereoselectivity of the chemical reaction involving α-diazoesters and isatin imines in the presence of benzyl alcohol is confirmed through the relative configuration of the two stereogenic centres. In esters (I) and (III), the amide group adopts an anti conformation, whereas the conformation is syn in esters (II) and (IV).
