title: Synthesis of 2-amino-8-oxodecanoic acids (Aodas) present in natural hystone deacetylase inhibitors.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Differently substituted 2-amino-8-oxodecanoic acids (Aodas), present in naturally occurring inhibitors of hystone deacetylase (HDAC), have been prepared using a convergent approach. The configuration in position 2 was derived from enantiomerically pure allylglycine or glutamic acid, whereas the stereochemistry of the substituent in position 9 derived from lactic acid or glyceraldehyde derivatives. Starting from allylglycine, (S)-Aodas, protected at the nitrogen as Boc or Fmoc, were obtained in four steps in about 30% overall yield. These products have been used to prepare a simplified analogue of a natural cyclic tetrapeptide HDAC inhibitor by SPPS.
