A new method for gamma-acylation of protected glutamic acids, involving intramolecular rearrangement of an acyl urethane, has been devised to prepare the protected gamma-carboxyglutamates 7, 9 and 11 and the protected 4-acylglutamates 15 and 22 from N,N-bisurethanes or N-acyl-N-urethanes of general structure 1. When the formyl-urethane 17 was used in the reaction, then the intermediate 18 in the intramolecular rearrangement was obtained.

Stapling mimics noncovalent interactions of γ-carboxyglutamates in conantokins, peptidic antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors.

Conantokins are short peptides derived from the venoms of marine cone snails that act as antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family of excitatory glutamate receptors. These peptides contain γ-carboxyglutamic acid residues typically spaced at i,i+4 and/or i,i+7 intervals, which by chelating divalent cations induce and stabilize helical conformation of the peptide. Introduction of a dicarba bridge (or a staple) can covalently stabilize peptide helicity and improve its pharmacological properties.
