Synthesis of dipeptide 4-nitroanilides containing non-proteinogenic amino acids.
A series of tert-butyloxycarbonyl amino acid 4-nitroanilides, including N-alkylated amino acids and (R)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, (S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. (4S,5S)-5-methyloxazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, (4S,5R)-5-methyloxazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, (S)-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, (S)-pipecolic acid and (S)-3,4-dehydroproline, were prepared conveniently by the isocyanate method or the mixed anhydride procedure. The resulting amino acid 4-nitroanilides were extended to corresponding dipeptide 4-nitroanilides with tert-butyloxycarbonyl-(S)-alanine. In the case of sterically hindered amino acid 4-nitroanilides the mixed anhydride procedure with diphenylphosphinyl chloride was successful.
