Convergent access to mono-fluoroalkene-based peptidomimetics

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Feb 9;20(6):1205-1218. doi: 10.1039/d1ob02441h.

Abstract

The convergent and selective preparation of (Z)-monofluoroalkene-based dipeptide isosteres from functionalized fluorosulfones as a cornerstone is described. In this approach, the N-terminal amino group is introduced by a conjugate addition reaction of phthalimide onto fluorinated vinylsulfones containing α-amino-acid side chains while the C-terminal motif is linked to the fluorovinylic peptide bond mimic via the Julia-Kocienski reaction between fluorosulfones and substituted aldehydes bearing α-amino-acid side chains.
