[source] Val-Ala Dipeptide Isosteres by Hydrocyanation of ,,-Amino ,,,-Unsaturated Ketones , Control of Stereoselectivity by the N -Protecting GroupEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2003Fabio Benedetti Abstract Three diastereoisomeric hydroxyethylene isosters of the Val-Ala dipeptide were synthesized from ,,,-unsaturated ketones 1 derived from N -Boc- and N,N -dibenzyl- L -valine. The enones were hydrocyanated with diethylaluminum cyanide to give the corresponding ,-cyano ketones with the stereoselectivity depending on the protecting group. N -Boc protected enone 1a gave a 1:1 mixture of anti and syn adducts 4a, 5a while the corresponding N,N -dibenzyl compound 1c gave a 6:1 mixture of anti, syn adducts 4c, 5c. Borohydride reduction of the resulting cyano ketones is also controlled by the protecting group, resulting in opposite stereoselectivities for N -Boc and N,N -dibenzyl compounds. The cyano alcohols thus obtained were converted, in several steps, into two series of enantiomerically pure hydroxyethylene isosters of the Val-Ala dipeptide. In the first series the hydroxy group and the N -terminal of the isoster are internally protected through the formation of an oxazolidine; in the second series the hydroxy group and the C-terminal are protected as lactone. Two oxazolidines (28, 29), corresponding to syn,syn and syn,anti 4-hydroxy-5-amino acid isosters, and three lactones (23,25), corresponding to syn,syn, syn,anti, and anti,anti isosters were obtained by this approach.
