Here we report a versatile ring-closing metathesis-based approach to 5-, 6-, and 7-membered cyclic beta-amino esters starting with simple and readily available building blocks-methionine, allylglycine, and serine-where the nature of the amino acid determines the size of the carbocyclic ring.

Synthesis of extended fluorinated tripeptides based on the tetrahydropyridazine scaffold.
Beilstein J Org Chem

The synthesis of tripeptides incorporating new fluorinated heterocyclic hydrazino acids, based on the tetrahydropyridazine scaffold is described. Starting from simple fluorinated hydrazones, these non-proteinogenic cyclic β-amino acids were easily prepared by a zinc-catalyzed aza-Barbier reaction followed by an intramolecular Michael addition. Preliminary conformational studies on tripeptides including this scaffold in the central position show an extended conformation in solution (NMR) and in the solid state (X-ray).

Highly enantioselective allylic amination and alkylation of racemic sterically hindered aryl-substituted Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts have been achieved by using an in situ formed Pd-catalyst from an axially chiral phenanthroline ligand. This dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) is compatible with cyclic and acyclic secondary amines, dialkyl malonates, β-keto esters, acetylacetone, and malononitrile, affording the corresponding chiral products, such as β-amino acid esters, in up to 95% yield and with up to a 99:1 enantiomeric ratio.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating polyurethanes without isocyanates is introduced, using β-amino alcohols synthesized from (R)-(+)-limonene oxide and primary amines in hot water.
- The research explores the selectivity of these reactions through computational studies, particularly focusing on the role of water and the nucleophile in determining reaction outcomes.
- Cyclic carbamates are formed from the β-amino alcohols, leading to an oligourethane via Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization, with thorough characterization performed using H and C NMR spectroscopies.
Mirror-Image Random Nonstandard Peptides Integrated Discovery (MI-RaPID) Technology Yields Highly Stable and Selective Macrocyclic Peptide Inhibitors for Matrix Metallopeptidase 7.

Article Synopsis
- Matrix metallopeptidase 7 (MMP7) is key in cancer spread and progression, making it a promising drug target, but designing inhibitors is difficult due to similarities with other matrix metalloproteinases.
- Researchers developed a new technique, MI-RaPID, to create stable macrocyclic peptides that specifically inhibit MMP7, with one potent example being D'20, which effectively binds to MMP7 while being selective for it over similar enzymes.
- D'20 showed a strong ability to inhibit cancer cell migration in laboratory tests without affecting cell growth, and it maintained stability in human serum and digestive fluids, suggesting it could be a good candidate for therapeutic development.
Synthesis of Cyclic β-Amino Acid Derivatives by Desymmetrization and Lossen Rearrangement of -Sulfoxy Meso-Succinimides.

Bifunctional thiourea-based organocatalysts facilitate an enantioselective desymmetrization and Lossen rearrangement cascade reaction of -sulfoxy -succinimides, resulting in the synthesis of cyclic β-amino acid derivatives. This catalytic system was optimized for bicyclic and tricyclic succinimide substrates affording yields from 61-91% and up to 96:4 er. This reaction proceeds via the group selective addition of the primary alcohol nucleophile to an enantiotopic carbonyl group with sequential rearrangement of the intermediate -sulfonyl hydroxamate ester.
