Desmosine, a crosslinking amino acid of elastin, is an attractive biomarker for diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, the first total synthesis of (+)-desmosine was achieved in 11% overall yield in 13 steps utilizing stepwise and regioselective Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions.
赖氨酰正亮氨酸(desmosine)是弹性蛋白的交联氨基酸,是诊断慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的有吸引力的生物标志物。在这项研究中,首次通过逐步和区域选择性 Sonogashira 交叉偶联反应,以 11%的总收率 13 步实现了 (+)-赖氨酰正亮氨酸的全合成。
