Chiral alpha-aminoxy acids of various side chains were synthesized with high optical purity starting from chiral alpha-amino acids. The conformations of diamides 13a-e, 15, and 16 were probed by using NMR, FT-IR, and CD spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray crystallography. The right-handed turns with eight-membered-ring intramolecular hydrogen bonds between adjacent residues (called the N-O turns) were found to be preferred for D-aminoxy acid residues, and they were independent of the side chains. The rigid chiral N-O turns should have great potential in molecular design.
以手性α-氨基酸为起始原料,合成了具有不同侧链的手性α-氨氧基酸,其光学纯度较高。通过核磁共振(NMR)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、圆二色光谱(CD)以及X射线晶体学等方法对二酰胺13a - e、15和16的构象进行了探究。发现对于D-氨氧基酸残基而言,相邻残基之间形成八元环分子内氢键的右手螺旋(称为N-O螺旋)是较为有利的构象,且它们与侧链无关。这种刚性的手性N-O螺旋在分子设计中应具有巨大的潜力。
