Solid-Phase Total Synthesis of Dehydrotryptophan-Bearing Cyclic Peptides Tunicyclin B, Sclerotide A, CDA3a, and CDA4a using a Protected β-Hydroxytryptophan Building Block
Abstract
A new approach to the synthesis of Z-dehydrotryptophan (ΔTrp) peptides is described. This approach uses Fmoc-β-HOTrp(Boc)(TBS)-OH as a building block, which is readily prepared in high yield and incorporated into peptides using solid-phase Fmoc chemistry. The tert-butyldimethylsilyl-protected indolic alcohol is eliminated during global deprotection/resin cleavage to give ΔTrp peptides exclusively as the thermodynamically favored Z isomer. This approach was applied to the solid-phase synthesis of tunicyclin B, sclerotide A, CDA3a, and CDA4a.
