Several di- and tripeptides containing protected purine (adenine) and pyrimidine (thymine) residues on their side chains were synthesized. The parent amino acids alpha, alpha-dialkylated in a symmetrical manner. An effective coupling procedure was developed for these sterically hindered amino acids: the fluoren-9-ylmethyloxycarbonyl-protected amino acid was dehydrated to its oxazolinone form, which was coupled in good yields with amino esters in hot tetrachloroethane.
合成了几种在侧链上含有受保护嘌呤(腺嘌呤)和嘧啶(胸腺嘧啶)残基的二肽和三肽。母体氨基酸以对称方式进行α,α-二烷基化。针对这些空间位阻氨基酸开发了一种有效的偶联方法:将芴-9-基甲氧基羰基保护的氨基酸脱水成其恶唑啉酮形式,然后在热的四氯乙烷中与氨基酸酯以良好的产率偶联。
