Abstract:
A versatile diastereoselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of heteroaryl systems with a cyclic enecarbamate for the preparation of 5-heteroaryl-substituted proline analogues in good yields has been developed. These heterocyclic tethered cyclic amino acid building blocks constitute important structural motifs in many biologically active molecules. The impact of the substitution on proline cis/trans isomerization was explored by carrying out solution conformational studies by NMR on 5-furanyl-substituted proline-containing peptides. Conformational analysis revealed that the peptide bond is constrained in an exclusively trans conformation.
