The original preparation of the acyl azide 10 from the corresponding methyl ester is a two-step synthesis. Am. 2004; 6:4479-4482. Woodward’s reagent K or NEPIS 84 is a zwitterionic isoxazolinium that reacts with N-protected amino acids in presence of triethylamine to form the activated enol ester 85 (108) (see Fig. 2005; 65:229-260. Usually, these reagents are found in their more stable guanidinium form (N-form) (89, 90). Activation and aminolysis process. Amide bonds are found ubiquitously in natural or synthetic molecules of biologic interest. 2000. The resulting phenol ester is sufficiently stable to be used as a protecting group and to allow the growing fragment A to use standard Boc strategy peptide synthesis. This dehydrative process can be achieved under forcing conditions such as high temperatures (160-180° C), which are usually incompatible with the presence of other functionalities. 239. 77-82.

N-(Cbz- and Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles: stable derivatives enabling peptide coupling of Tyr, Trp, Cys, Met, and Gln with free amino acids in aqueous media with complete retention of chirality. 1997. Other examples of alcohols used to activate acids are represented in Fig. 1973; 106:3626-3635. Methods range from the rather straightforward use of acyl halides, anhydrides, and carbodiimides, to the more elaborate, low-racemization inducing methods that use phosphonium/uronium-based reagents. Recent Developments in Amide Synthesis: Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids and Transamidation Reactions Rachel M. Lanigan[a] and Tom D. Sheppard*[a] Keywords: Amides / Amines / Carboxylic acids / Amidation / Transamidation The synthesis of amides is of huge importance in a wide vari-ety of industrial and academic fields and is of particular sig- Chem. 1991; 30:1437-1449. 78. 6. Initially, the mechanism may involve the formation of acyl carboxy imidazole and imidazole. Sewing A, Hilvert D. Fmoc-compatible solid-phase peptide synthesis of long C-terminal peptide thioesters. Lipitor (atorvastatin hemicalcium salt; Pfizer, Inc., New York) 3 is the best-selling drug in the world, and it is used to treat high cholesterol (4). Carbohydrate Res. The reactions of anhydrides frequently use pyridine as a solvent. 13). Jakopin Z, RoSkar R, Sollner Dolenc M. Synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as peptidomimetic building blocks. 2-Chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide 77, also called Mukaiyama’s reagent, in the presence of a carboxylic acid and a tertiary amine yields an activated 2-acyloxy-pyridinium species 78. PyBop (G.L. The resulting HOAt anion reacts with the newly formed activated carboxylic acid derived intermediate to form an OAt activated ester. Esters can be converted into primary, secondary and tertiary amides by an aminolysis reaction with ammonia, primary amine and a secondary amine respectively: The reaction goes by a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism and alkoxy groups (RO – ), being poor leaving groups, make this method not as practical as, for example, the reaction of acyl chlorides with amines. For nearly two centuries, the methods have evolved from the original symmetric anhydrides and acyl chlorides. They differ structurally by the replacement of the amino groups with a hydrogen, an alkyl, or an aryl group. amino).-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide (Dasatinib, BMS-354825) as a potent pan-Src kinase inhibitor. This step is called the “capture reaction.” The second step is the rapid, intramolecular acyl transfer from the thio- to the amino-position of the cysteine to yield the desired amide bond. Commun.

Baxendale IR, Ley SV. J. Acyl azides are, however, potential explosives and the leaving group (free azide) is toxic, which provides some limitation to this method. 47. Recently the introduction of a 2-(ethyldisulfanyl)phenol ester at the C-terminal position of fragment A has been used in an elegant solution phase approach (114) (see Fig. Cyanuric fluoride 9 (28), TFFH (29), DAST (30), and deoxofluor (31) are used commonly as fluorinating reagents (see Fig. Chem. The cyanuric chloride method is also used in large-scale synthesis (15). Tetrahedron Lett. 1998; 39: 4103-4106. 8. Enzymes such as proteases (122), subtilisin (123), acylases, peptidases, amidases, and lipases (124) are reported to catalyze amide bond formation with, in some cases, enantiospecificity of over 99%. 1) Nucleophilic Alcohol reacts with Electrophilic Carbonyl. Gotor V. Non-conventional hydrolase chemistry: amide and carbamate bond formation catalysed by lipases. As seen with acid halide reactions, a second equivalent of the amine must be present for the reaction to proceed. Chem. This method is usually applicable to peptide synthesis, and, in theory, no additional base is required, as the carboxylate anion is produced in situ. 1966; 88:3440-3441. Kim S, Chang H, Ko YK.
