Stereoselective synthesis of (R)- and (S)-1,2-diazetidine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives for peptidomimetics

Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of both enantiomers of N-protected 1,2-diazetidine-3-carboxylic acid (aAze) from homochiral glycidol is described. Orthogonal protection of this novel cyclic α-hydrazino acid allows for selective functionalisation at either Nγ or Nδ. This novel peptidomimetic building block was incorporated into the pseudotripeptides Gly-γaAze-Ala and Gly-δaAze-Ala.
