α-Aminoxy and α-hydrazino acids are β-amino acid analogs with β-carbons replaced by oxygen and nitrogen, respectively. Such heteroatoms dictate the folding of peptides into specific secondary structures called pseudo-γ-turns. Achiral α-aminoxyacetic acid (Gly) and l-α-hydrazinophenylalanine (l-Phe) have been shown to be suitable for single incorporation during ribosomal translation, but whether ribosomes tolerate other types of α-aminoxy/α-hydrazino acids with l/d-configurations is unknown.

Peptide backbone amide substitution can dramatically alter the conformational and physiochemical properties of native sequences. Although uncommon relative to N-alkyl substituents, peptides harboring main-chain N-hydroxy groups exhibit unique conformational preferences and biological activities. Here, we describe a versatile method to prepare N-hydroxy peptide on solid support and evaluate the impact of backbone N-hydroxylation on secondary structure stability.

A series of novel hydrazino-based peptidomimetics and analogues comprising N-terminal lysine and C-terminal phenanthridinyl-l-alanine were prepared. The presented results demonstrate the up to now unknown possibility to finely modulate peptide interactions with DNA/RNA by α-hydrazino group insertion and how the different positioning of two α-hydrazino groups in peptides controls binding to various double stranded and single stranded DNA and RNA. All peptidomimetics bind with 1-10 micromolar affinity to ds-DNA/RNA, whereby the binding mode is a combination of electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions within DNA/RNA grooves.

An effective route to N-Boc-protected aromatic sphingosine analogues is accomplished. The strategy is based on the diastereoselective amination of enantioenriched trans-γ,δ-unsaturated β-hydroxyesters to establish anti,N-Boc-α-hydrazino-β-hydroxyesters. Nonreductive E1cB elimination is essential for the successful N-N bond cleavage of hydrazine while preserving the trans double bond.

Asymmetric α-amination through an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed redox reaction of α-aroyloxyaldehydes with N-aryl-N-aroyldiazenes to form α-hydrazino esters with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) is reported. The hydrazide products are readily converted into enantioenriched N-aryl amino esters through samarium(II) iodide mediated N-N bond cleavage.
