title: Atom-economical synthesis of the N(10)-C(17) fragment of cyclotheonamides via a novel Passerini reaction-deprotection-acyl migration strategy.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. A novel variant of the atom-economical Passerini reaction between suitably protected argininal, dipeptide isonitrile, and proline components afforded adduct 13. Orthogonal N-deprotection of 13 led, via a smooth O- to N-acyl migration, to 14, which constitutes the N(10)-C(17) fragment of the cyclotheonamide family of serine protease inhibitors. Each reaction in this three-step protocol proceeds in good yield and under very mild conditions.
