ABSTRACT
A central goal of modem biology is to develop a detailed, predictive understanding
of the relationships of three-dimensional structure and biological function. However, to
establish the biologically active conformation is challenging because most small linear
peptides are inherently flexible, and at present, our knowledge of 3D structural
information of ligand-receptor complexes is very limited. Hence, some strategies have
been developed to prepare peptidomimetics with constrained conformations. Both local
conformational constraints and global conformational constraints can provide important
insights into the structural and topographical basis of biological activity.
A series of novel cw-4-substituted proline analogues were designed and synthesized.
Highly stereoselective alkylations at the y-position of glutamic ester were achieved,
followed by reduction, mesylation. and cyclization to afford the proline derivatives in
good yields and high diastereoselectivity. These c/.v-4-substituted proline analogues
could be used as conformationally restricted templates in local constrained
peptidomimetics.
We also have developed a general and efficient approach for the synthesis of
indolizidinone amino acids with stereospecific appendages of side chain functionality at
both the C-4 and C-8 positions, which can serve as restricted reverse turn mimetics in
global constrained peptidomimetics. Our synthetic reverse turn mimetic targets were
designed to serve as surrogates of the dipeptides Phe-Gly and Phe-Arg which contain two
important pharmacophore elements in Leu-Enkephalin and melanotropin peptides,
15
respectively. Introduction of side chain functionality at C-8 was achieved by using
P-substituted pyroglutamate as a synthetic precursor which was prepared via Michael
addition reaction between a Ni(II) complex of the chiral Schiff base of glycine with
(S)-o-[iV-(W-benzylproly])amino]benzophenone and 3-{trans-enoy\)- oxazolidin-2-one.
The side chains at C-4 were introduced by bromination of dehydroamino acid
intermediates followed by Suzuki cross-coupling.

CHAPTER 1. DESIGN OFPEPTIDOMIMETICS FROM PEPTIDE
LEADS-—CONFORMATIONAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 Introduction
In 1902, Emil Fischer and Frank Hofmeister revealed that proteins are composed of
amino acids, which are linked via '"peptide bonds".' The progress following this
finding was initially slow due to difficulties in synthesis and structure determination of
peptides. However, some great advances came in the 1950's. First of all, duVigneaud
isolated, determined the structure of, and accomplished the total synthesis of oxytoxin;^
then, Sanger elucidated the structure of bovine insulin;^'*' and the double helix of DNA
was discovered, suggesting that there is a connection between nucleotide and peptide
sequences.With discovery of more and more biologically active peptides, today it
has been well known that peptides exert essential influences on all vital physiological
processes via inter- and intracellular communication, and signal transduction mediated
through various classes of receptors.'" As neurotransmitters, neuromodulators,
hormones, antibiotics, growth factors, cytokines, antigens, etc., peptides play critical
roles in the maintenance of human health, in behavior and in many diseases. Therefore,
numerous native peptides and proteins have been isolated and applied as therapeutically
useful drugs.
Although numerous native peptides have great potential for medical applications and
the fact is that over 50% of all current drugs are peptide-based, the peptides have to be
modified to overcome certain problems, such as metabolic stability, selectivity, and
17
bioavailability, to be suitable therapeutic agents. Thus modified peptide and
peptidomimetic research has dramatically advanced during the last two decades.
One of the most challenging parts in the research is the rational design of
peptidomimetics. The first phase in this approach is to identify the key amino acid
residues which are necessary for receptor recognition. This is usually accomplished by
1 n single amino acid modification in the peptide, known as alanine & D-amino acid scans.
Once the SAR of the peptide ligand is elucidated, the conformation-activity relationship
has to be studied. The three-dimensional arrangement of critical side groups and
backbone functionalities can be analyzed via NMR spectroscopy,'^"''' X-ray
20 21 22 crystallography, circular dichroism measurements, and computational methods.
The next effort is to find a suitable organic moiety that can replace the peptide scaffold
and position the crucial recognition elements correctly. The general scheme of the de
novo design of peptidomimetics is outlined in Fig. 1-1. As we can see in the scheme,
understanding the conformation-activity relationships of biologically active peptides can
provide important guidance in the design of peptidomimetics and accelerate the process
from native peptides to biologically active peptidomimetics and small molecules.

1.2 Conformational and Topographical Features of Peptides — Challenges in the
Studies of Biologically Active Conformation
As a key step in the de novo approach to peptidomimetics, to establish the
biologically active conformation is very challenging. This is partly due to our limited
knowledge of the conformations of ligand-receptor complexes. Another major problem
we have to overcome is the high degree of flexibility of small linear peptides.

(B) Newman projection of the three staggered side-chain rotamers in L-amino acids.
20
As illustrated in Fig. 1-2, each side chain's dihedral angle, referred as chi (%) space,
can adopt three low energy staggered conformations (rotamers), which are referred to as
gauche{+), gauche{-) and trans. Therefore, even in a small peptide with four or five
residues, these different dispositions of side chain groups will give rise to a great
diversity in 3D conformations. Moreover, other torsional angles of the backbone, (j), \\i,
and to, make the topographical issue more complicated. These angles determine the
major secondary structures of peptides, such as a-helix, P-sheet, P-tum, and extended
conformations (Fig. 1-3), which have been shown to be the energetically preferred
backbone conformations for a peptide. 24,25

Studies have shown that both the secondary structural features of peptide and the 3D
structure (topography) of the amino acid side chain moieties play critical roles in
ligand-receptor recognition events. Thus identification of the side chain rotomer and the
secondary structural feature that is present in the superpotent or bioselective ligand can
21
provide a valuable tool to aid in the development of peptidomimetics with better
potencies and selectivities. Some strategies to obtain such information will be discussed
next.
1.3 Strategies in the Design of Peptidomimetics
1.3.1. Modification of Amino Acid Side Chains
If conformational flexibility of the side chain groups can be restricted to a greater
degree, peptides can provide a more complete evaluation of their biologically active
three-dimensional topologies. Usually, the side chain conformation can be controlled in
several ways. One general approach is to introduce an alkyl group at the P-position or
on the aromatic ring of an amino acid residue. These kinds of modifications can
constrain x' and angles; on the other hand, they generally do not perturb the backbone
conformation drastically, and still allow the peptides to have some degree of flexibility.
In a similar way, substitution on the aromatic ring of an aromatic amino acid will limit
the conformational flexibility of a peptide to a moderate degree. Furthermore, the
introduction of alkyl groups will enhance the lipophilicity and thus help peptide binding
to receptors and crossing of membrane barriers.
The Hruby group has been engaged in the asymmetric synthesis of x-constrained
amino acids for over a decade. Fig. 1-4 gives structures of some novel amino acids
prepared in the Hruby group. Incorporation of these novel highly constrained amino
acids into peptides and studies of such peptidomimetics have provided a very valuable
approach to probe the stereochemical requirements of binding pharmacophores for
recognition of receptors."^'"'''
22
Among natural amino acids, proline is unique with a constrained cyclic system.
Proline can be used as a rigid template in design of conformationally constrained
peptidomimetics. Substituted proline derivatives are particularly attractive since the
substitution can influence not only the conformation of the pyrrolidine ring, but the rate
of cis-trans isomerization about the amide bond as well. In Chapter 2, a novel approach
to synthesis of 4-substituted prolines will be discussed.

1.3.2 Modification of the Peptide Backbone
Another strategy in the design of peptidomimetics is peptide backbone modifications
which generally refer to the isosteric or isoelecironic exchange of NHCO units in the
24
peptide chain or introduction of additional groups?'' Some of the most frequent
modifications to the peptide backbone are listed in Fig. 1-5.

The modification to the peptide backbone can also serve to introduce local backbone
constrains. For example, A'-alkylation greatly restricts the (j) torsional angle but
eliminates the hydrogen bonding capability of the amide bond. iV-Methyl amino acids
have been incorporated into bioactive mimetics of opioid peptides;^' bradykinin,^'
thyrotropin releasing hormone (THR), angiotensin II, and cholecystokinin (CCK). '
Other backbone modifications include retro-inverso,^^ reduced amide,thiomethylene,^^'
25
oxomethylene/' e thylene, th ioamide, '^ olef in ic '^^ ' '^ and kctomethylene"*^ analogues
and many others, each of which has its own unique stereoelectronic and stercostructural
features.
1.3.3 Global Restrictions of Conformation in Peptides and Peptidomimetics
Cyclization of a peptide is another general approach to constrain the conformation by
limiting the flexibility of the peptide. In this approach, the amino acid chain groups and
backbone moieties that are not important in biological activity are chosen as the sites to
construct a cyclic structure.'^*' The cyclization can be formed between side chains
through several different types of bonds, such as disulfide,'^"' lactam,"" and thioether (Fig.
1-6). Other kinds of cyclic constrain are also possible between side chain and C- or
A^-terminal or between side chain and backbone nitrogen (Fig. 1-7).

As illustrated in Figs. 1-6 and 1-7, this approach allows considerable variability in
the design of ring size and ring type. With different sizes and types of cyclic structures,
cyclization not only can limit the flexibility of the conformation, but often can induce or
stabilize the secondary stmcture, such as P-tum. Secondary structures (a-helices,
P-sheets, and p-tums) play critical roles in biological activities.'^' Many novel types of
constraints have been employed to stabilize the secondary structures, especially reverse
turns, in peptides and peptidomimetics.^" This strategy is now universally accepted as a
method to design biologically active peptides and peptidomimetics with high potency and
improved selectivity. A selection of reverse turn mimicking scaffolds is shown in Fig.
1-8.

As shown in Fig. 1-8, lactam constrains can cause a turn in the peptide backbone,
but it is difficult to place functional groups stereoselectively to match the side chains of
peptide. From this point of view, the bicyclic thiazolidincs are more promising P-turn
mimetics since they can be derived from a chiral pool of amino acids and side groups can
be introduced stereoselectively onto the scaffold during the synthesis. The synthesis of
this type of p-tum mimetic and a novel methodology to introduce functional groups at the
specific position on the backbone will be discussed in Chapters 3 and 4.

CHAPTER 2. EFFICIENT AND STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF
NOVEL CJS-4-SUBSTITUTED PROLINE ANALOGUES
2.1 Introduction
Among naturally occurring a-ami no acids, proline is the unique one that is
cyclic and a secondary amine, providing a conformational 1 y constrained system. The
importance of proline is reflected in its presence in many naturally occurring bioactive
peptides such as gramicidin""'''^ and a-melanotropin,^"^ both of which have important
biological activities. The studies of these bioactive peptides have shown that proline
exerts great influence on both the structure and function of peptides and protcins.^^
Peptides and proteins with a proline residue can influence important secondary structures
such as a j3-tum and an a-helix.^^ Due to its special structure, proline has been used as a
rigid template to design conformationally constrained amino acids for the study of the
interactions of peptide and protein ligands with their receptors/acceptors. When it is
incorporated into a peptide or protein, proline can induce a reverse turn which can
provide enhanced bioactivity.^*^'^^ Such effects on peptide conformations have created a
great deal of interest for the design of various substituted proline analogues.^'
Actually, proline and its derivatives have been extensively used in the pharmaceutical
industry, such as in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, including
Captopril,®^ Enalapril,®"^ Fosinopril,''^ and Lisinopril (Fig. 2-1).^'^

Among these proline analogues, 4-substitued derivatives arc particularly attractive
since the C4 substituents can influence not only the conformation of the pyrrolidine ring,
but the rate of cis-trans isomerization about the amide bond as well.®*^'®^ The readily
available starting material 4-trans-hydroxyproline has been used as a versatile building
block for many biologically important compounds.In our ongoing melanocyte
stimulating hormone (MSH) project, the substitution of histidine with proline in MT-II
70 has generated a potent and selective analogue with agonist activity at the human MC5R.
To further explore the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of this ligand and its receptors,
we have designed novel 4-substituted prolines.
30
2.2 Background and Designed General Approach to cw-4-Siibstitiited Proline
Derivatives
Several methods for the synthesis of 4-substitued prolines have appeared in the
literature/'" ''^'"' Recently our and Goodman's group have reported the synthesis of cis-
and trans- 4-substituted proline analogues through hydrogenations of pyrroline
intermediates derived from 4-fran.v-hydroxyproline (Scheme 2-1

Meanwhile we have developed asymmetric hydrogenations/Suzuki-couplings for
the preparation of a number of novel x" constrained amino acids7^"^^ As an alternative
to these methods, herein we would like to disclose an efficient and stereoselective
approach to the synthesis of c/.v-4-subsititued prolines. The synthetic strategy for the
preparation of the title compounds 1 employs stereoselective alkylation at the y-position

The synthesis of cw-4-substituted proHne analogues 1 started with commercially
available (45)-5-(ferf-butoxy)-4-[(?erf-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoic acid
(Scheme 2-3). The carboxylic acid was protected as a r-butyl ester, which can be
viewed as an orthogonal protection to the w-methyl ester in 2. Thus, the methyl ester
could be selectively reduced without affecting the r-butyl ester. The free O) carboxyl
functional group was converted into a methyl ester 2 using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide
(DCC) as an activating agent with methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of
dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and triethylamine (TEA) in 76% yield.^^ The resulting
compound 2 was used for the alkylations. Alkylation at the C4 position of glutamates
has been reported in the literature.The studies indicated that the stereoselectivity
depended on the nature of the A^-substituents^'^ and the esters.Recently Hancssian
and co-workers achieved highly stereoselective alkylations with A''^-Boc or Cbz and the
methyl ester.^^'^® The stereoselectivity was attributed to a highly coordinated dianionic
chair-like transition state (Fig. 2-2).

However, substrates with the bigger r-butyl ester, as in our case, had not been studied.
We rationalized that the size of the ester groups would play an important role in
33
controlling the stereoselectivity of the alkylations based on the proposed transition state.
The large r-butyl ester would further enhance the diastereoselectivity of the alkylations by
stabilization of the chair-like transition state. As expected, only one single diastereomer
{ami product) was obtained based upon 'H NMR analysis (Scheme 2-3).

^Conditions; (a) (Boc)20, DMAP; (b) DIBAL, Ether.
With the optically pure y-substituted alkyl glutamic acid ester 3 in hand, initially
we planned to selectively reduce the methyl ester by diisobutylaluminumhydride (DIBAL)
at -78 "C to an aldehyde, which subsequently could undergo reductive amination to give
the final products 1. Based on our earlier study, the mono-A^^-Boc protected nitrogen
interfered with the reduction.^® Therefore, a second Boc protecting group was
introduced by reaction of 3 with di-r-butyl di carbon ate [(Boc)20] in the presence of a
catalytic amount of DMAP in acetonitrile after chromatography to give the bis-Boc
protected methyl ester 6 in over 80% yield (Scheme 2-4). However, the reduction of the
methyl ester in 6 using DIBAL at -78 "C did not give the desired aldehyde 7. Even
higher reaction temperatures (room temperature) did not work. In all cases, only the
starting materials were recovered. In contrast, our previous study with reduction of a
34
similar substrate without y-substituents under the same reaction conditions gave an
aldehyde in excellent yieldJ*^ The presumed reason was steric hindrance in the
y-substituted substrates 6.
Consequently, we modified our synthetic strategy (Scheme 2-3). We proposed the
conversion of the methyl ester 3 to an alcohol, which then was transformed into a good
leaving group for cyclization. The intramolecular nuclear substitution (cyclization)
would provide the target molecules. Reduction of the mono-Boc protected methyl
esters 3 with NaBRt to give alcohols 4 was achieved in good yields. Then the alcohols
were converted into tosylates 5 in high yields. The tosylated intermediates were treated
with NaH to give the cyclic proline derivati ves 1 in good yields. To test for
racemization during these conversions, we selectively deprotected the Boc group in la
(due to rotamers) to 8, which gave a "clean" NMR (Scheme 2-5). One isomer was
observed by NMR indicating that no isomerization occurred.

2.4 Conclusion
In conclusion, a series of novel cw-4-substituted proline derivatives 1 were
efficiently synthesized from readily available starting materials. Highly stereoselective
alkylations at the y-position of the glutamic ester 2 were achieved. The resulting
alkylation compounds were transformed to the final products 1 through
reduction/tosy 1 ation/cyc 1 ization in high yields. Future work will aim at the
incorporation of these unnatural amino acids into a-MSH peptides and the study of
structure-activity relationships of the a-MSH peptides.

CHAPTER 3. DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF CONFORMATIONALLY
CONSTRAINED REVERSE-TURN PEPTIDOMIMETICS OF
LEU-ENKEPHALIN
3.1 Introduction
In 1975, Hughes and Kosterlitz discovered the opioid pentapetides
Met(5)-enkcphalin (H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OH) and Leu(5)-enkephalin
(H-Tyr-GIy-Gly-Phe-Leu- Since then, the biology and chemistry of these
endogenous opioid peptides have been extensively studied. Some research results have
shown that these neurotransmitters regulate sensory functions including pain and control
of respiration in the central nervous system by binding to the G-protein coupled |i- and
6-opioid receptors, respectively.^^'^^ Among these studies, the structure-activity
relationships and the conformation of enkephalin in solution have been specially
interesting, because enkephalin is a noncyclic peptide binding to the same receptor site as
rigid non-peptide opiate agonists. The conformation of enkephalins has been
87 88 investigated by using a variety of methods, including NMR, X-ray diffraction,
conformational energy calculations,^^ CD,'**' and Raman.'"
However, studies that focus on elucidating the bioactive conformation of opioid
peptide ligands have been complicated by the fact that there are four main opioid
receptors (|i, 5, K, and a), some of which may also have distinct sub-types.*'^'^'^
Although some important pharmacophoric elements have been identified, such as the
relative location and orientation of the aromatic side chains and the relationship of the
46
N-terminal nitrogen to the phenolic oxygen,the large conformational freedom of
enkephalins leads to their nonspecific receptor affinity and thus makes the determination
of the bioactive conformation very challenging. On the other hand, the structure
determination of the membrane bound opioid receptors is extremely difficult. As
discussed in Chapter 1, a general and efficient strategy to study the bioactive
conformation of short linear peptides, like enkephalins, is to synthesize the
conformalionally restricted mimetics and test them in order to obtain some insight into
the SAR.
A successful example of this approach is c[DPen^,DPen"^Jenkephalin (DPDPE), a
cyclic conformalionally and topographically constrained analogue of enkephalin (Fig.
9 ^ c 3-1). In this analogue the Gly and Met (or Leu ) residues were replaced by
D-penicillamine (D-Pen, (3,P-dimethylcysteine) and formed a 14-membered disulfide
ring.^'' DPDPE was found to be highly potent and selective for the 5 opioid receptor and
to be completely stable to proteolytic breakdown in vitro and in vivo.'^^ ''^ Extensive
biophysical studies on DPDPE and some of its critical analogues using
molecular dynamics'^' and X-ray crystallography'^^'"'®" have clearly established the
preferred conformation of the 14-membered ring template of this cyclic analogue.

Although considerable success has been obtained in designing non-peptide
peptidomimetics of enkephalins by incorporating some aspects of the overall structural
and topographical features into the peptides, like DPDPE, efforts to design in other
important features such as the proper topographical relationships of critical side chain
groups in ({), \|/ and % space, and of certain H-bond donating and accepting properties has
been difficult. As part of our continuing exploration in this field, we have designed and
synthesized novel Leu-enkephalin mimetics.
3.2 Design of Leu-enkeplialin Mimetics
Leu-enkephalin has been found to exist predominately in three different
conformations: extended,'"^ single-bend'^^"'"^ and double bend (Fig. 3-2).'""'' It has been
suggested that the single-bend form of enkephalin is representative of the bioactive
48
conformation at the 8-receptor. DPDPE was designed to mimic the single-bend
conformation and its enhanced 5 receptor selectivity supported this assumption. Some
other peptidomimetics have been also prepared to study this conformation (Fig.

On the other hand, there was speculation that the double-bend conformation may
bind at fi-receptor sites.In order to further investigate the bioactive conformation of
Leu-enkephalin, we have designed novel double-bend form peptidomimetics of
enkephalin (Fig. 3-4).

50
One particular interesting approach in design of peptidomimetics is to replace a
dipeptide motif which adopts a biologically important confonnation in a given natural
peptide with a constrained or rigidified counterpart that simulates a so-called reverse turn.
It has been found that the double-bend conformation of Lcu-enkephalin is adopted in
biomimetic media where a y-tum is centered on Gly(2) and a p-tum is centered on
Gly(3)-Phe(4).^^'^°^ Thus we designed the reverse turn peptidomimetics of
Leu-enkephalin by incorporating a constrained dipeptide mimetic into the peptide to
replace dipeptide Tyr(l)-Gly(2) or Gly(3)-Phe(4) (Fig. 3-4)
Ideally, dipeptide mimetics should possess a scaffold with the right conformation and
appropriately positioned side chain functionalities in chiral space. The backbone of
such P-tum mimetics could then serve as a three-dimensional structural scaffold when the
full structures interact with their receptors/acceptors. Indeed, properly placed side chain
moieties involved directly in the interaction are critical for biological activities and
selectivities between peptide ligands and receptors/acceptors or sub-types
receptors.Several dipeptide mimetic systems have been proposed to mimic
different types of reverse turns.Among them, the azabicyclo[X.Y.O]alkane amino
acids potentially are a particularly important class due to their ability to provide
constrained backbone and side-chain conformations (Fig. 3-5).

51
Azabicyclo[X.Y.O]alkane amino acids are restricted dipeptide surrogates that
embody the peptide backbone within a bicyclic structure, in the bicyclic framework,
three contiguous (j)i-, and Wi-dihedral angles arc restricted by the structural
constraints of the heterocycle (Fig. 3-6). In addition, the outer two \\I2- and <])2-dihedral
angles are restricted by gauche interactions with the ring system. Thus this bicyclic
system provides the capacity of constraining five backbone bonds in a row within the
dipeptide. Moreover, it has been identified that the relative location and orientation of
the aromatic side chains is critical in the bioactivities and selectivities of Leu-enkephalin.
Hence, the constraints of % angles in azabicycloalkane amino acids can also provide
important information for the SAR studies (Fig. 3-6). Based on these advantages, we
have choscn azabicycloalkane amino acids as dipeptide mimetics incorporated into
Leu-enkephalin in order to study its bioactive conformation (Fig. 3-4). In our attempt to
implement this plan, we need to develop a flexible synthetic approach to such dipeptide
mimetics.

3.3 Synthesis of Azabicyclo[X.Y.O]Alkane Amino Acids
Inherent in the synthesis of azabicycloalkane amino acids are three important
challenges: stereocontrol, side-chain attachment, and ring size (the three S's:
Stereochemistry. Side chains, and Size). The importance of stereochemistry is obvious,
since configuration can influence conformations. Thus chiral centers should be
introduced with control at the backbone carbons, ring fusion center, and attachment sites
of the side-chain appendages. The addition of various functional groups at appropriate
points along the azabicycloalkane heterocycle is also critical for mimicry of the nature
and the spatial orientation of amino acid side chains. Finally, the approach to a variety
of azabicycloalkane ring systems with different sizes is desired, because the size of the
heterocycle can bias the peptide conformation. Some synthetic methodologies have
been reported to prepare azabicycloalkane amino acids. Examples of the products
prepared by these methodologies are listed in Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7. Azabicycloalkane amino acids.
As listed in Figure 3-7, quite a few successes have been reported in obtaining
mimetics which can force or stabilize P-turas. However, little success has been reported
in incorporating mimetics for the active site of peptide hormone or neurotransmitter
receptors because of the lack of appropriately positioned side-chain groups. As
mentioned above, the side-chain functionalities are directly involved in the interaction
between the ligand and the receptor and thus are indispensable for the bioactivity,
especially for short peptides like Leu-enkephalins. Hence, there is quite a need for
methodology to introduce side-chain functionality on the backbone of the mimetics.
54
In order to prepare the Leu-enkephalin peptidomimetics shown in Figure 3-4, we
have developed an efficient approach to the stereoselective synthesis of azabicyclo[4.3.0]
(indolizidinone-type) alkane amino acids with appropriate side-chain appendages (Fig.
3-8). This approach can also be further explored to give rise to different size
azabicycloalkane ring systems through employment of starting materials of different
chain length. We chose 6,5-fuscd ring system as the first study target because modeling
studies showed that the dihedral angles in such systems mimic those angles in natural
reverse turn conformations better than other fused ring systems.

3.4 Synthesis of Novel 4-Substituted Unsaturated Indolizidinone Amino Acids
We and other research groups have developed synthetic routes for the preparation of
enantiopurc indolizidinone type bicyclic lactam systems. " However, these
approaches suffer from some limitations. For example, the introduction of side chain
55
functionalities at the C4 position of azabicyclo[X.Y.O] alkane amino acids generally were
not accessible, or required a long synthetic sequence;^^"^ most methodologies have no way
to introduce a phenyl or a p-hydroxylphenyl group, which correspond to the side chains
in the amino acids Phe and Tyr, respectively. Moeller and co-workers chose a benzyl
group to substitute for a phenyl group. However, their studies showed that the extra
methylene group interfered badly in the binding to the TRH-R receptor.In this
section, we report a novel methodology which can allow for the synthesis of 4-phenyl- or
/7-hydroxylphenyl-substituted saturated and unsaturated indolizidinone amino acids.
Such reverse turn mimetics will be used to serve as surrogates of Tyr-Ala dipeptides and
be incorporated into peptides.
Some groups have reported on the preparation of indolizidinone type compounds
1 1 9 7 through dehydroamino acid intermediates. ' Further applications to these
methodologies have been successfully developed in our group to introduce side-chain
R9 functionalities at the C7 and C8 positions. Presently, we have extended these
methodologies to introduce aryl groups at position 4 through Suzuki cross-couplings.
The general retrosynthetic strategy is given in Scheme 3-1. The unsaturated bicyclic
lactam system could be approached from a dehydroamino acid intermediate, which can
be prepared by Horner-Emmons olefination of a proline aldehyde derivative. Two
challenges must be faced in our synthetic approach to these novel targets. The first is
the introduction of the side-chain functionality at the C4 position from the precursor
dehydroamino acid derivative. Secondly, the major Z dehydroamino acid products from
the Homer-Emmons reaction may restrict the cyclization in the following step. We
56
postulated that bromination of the dehydroamino acid could be a solution to these two
problems. Bromination can generate a reactive site for Suzuki cross-coupling and also
can provide the geometry required for cyclization. With this methodology, we also can
introduce side-chain functionalities at both C4 and C7 or C8 positions using the
corresponding chiral pyroglutamic ester derivatives prepared by chemistries previously
developed in our laboratory, which will be demonstrated in the next chapter. In this
chapter, we will demonstrate the synthetic method with side-chain functionalities at the
C4 position.

Our approach to the synthesis of 4-substituted azabicyclo[4.3.0]alkane amino acid
derivatives 18a and 19a is illustrated in Scheme 3-2. The readily available
(5)-pyroglutamate 10 was reduced to the methoxy aminal 11 by treatment with
57
Super-Hydride (LiBEtsH) in THF at -78 °C, and then with methanol in the presence of a
catalytic amount of p-TsOH. The crude product 11 was directly subjected to
allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of boron trifluoride without further purification. The
allylsilane addition to the A'-acyUminium compound derived from 11 afforded a
3; 1 -c/.y/fra«.v-mixture of proline ester 12. The intermediate 12 underwent osmylation
and subsequent oxidation with NaI04 to give aldehyde 13. A cis/trans dehydroamino
acid mixture 14 was obtained in a 3:1 ratio via Homor-Emmons olefination of 13. The
mixture composition was based on 'H NMR spectra. The assignment of the major
product as a cis isomer was achieved according to the literature.

The stereoselectivity favoring cw-isomer in the aliylation hinges on the facial
preference with which an allylsilane attacks the cyclic acyliminium intermediate
generated by the BF3 catalyzed OMe-elimination from aminal 11 (Fig. 3-9)/^^ It has
been suggested that the mechanistic pathway involved the formation of a BF3 complex
with the ester in which the fluoride acquired sufficient nucleophilicity to attack the
trimethylsilyl group and, hence, facilitate the concomitant allyl transfer to the iminium
function. Thus it can be suggested that the selective formation of the cis-product is the
result of a neighboring group participation of the methyl ester function.

1^1 various intermediates in this reaction, including dibromides, N-hmmo
compounds, ' and a-bromoiminium species. In most cases, Z-selectivity was
observed in the bromination. Das and co-workers reported a 10:90 E/Z ratio in the
bromination of N-acyIdchydroalanine derivatives with Bra and EtsN; Danion and
co-workers described Z-selectivity in bromination of ethyl
2~(methoxycarbonylamino)cinnamate using NBS and EtsN;'^'^ Olsen and co-workers^^^
60
and Shin and co-workers'^^ also reported Z-selective halogenation under similar
conditions. On the other hand, some groups have reported /^-selective bromination
using the substrates with a particular substituent attached to the double bond.^^^''^^
Coleman and Carpenter have extensively examined the mechanism of bromination of
dehydroamino acid esters.They isolated a-bromoimine as the intermediate produced
by reaction of dehydroamino acids with NBS (Scheme 3-3). The two possible
ground-state conformers of a-bromoimine, A and B, undergo base-promoted
tautomerization to give E- and Z-vinyl bromide, respectively (Scheme 3-4).

Based on the results of molecular mechanics calculations, conformer A is energetic
favored and thus £-vinyl bromide is the kinetically favored product. However, this
difference in stability of conformer A and B does not account for the observed
Z-selectivity in the reaction. Meanwhile, Coleman and Carpenter observed that the
mixture of E and Z isomers underwent isomerization in the presence of DABCO and
predominately afforded Z-vinyl bromide. They also noticed that other strong but
sterically hindered amine bases are inefficient at promoting this isomerization. Based
on these observations, they proposed a mechanism for interconversion of the kinetically
formed £-vinyl bromide to the thermodynamically more stable Z-isomer, which contains
a Michael addition-elimination reaction sequence (Scheme 3-5). This assumption is
supported by the fact that DABO, the least hindered and most nucleophilic amine, is the
most effective agent promoting the isomerization.

In our case, we treated the dehydroamino acid ester 14 with A^-bromosuccinimide
(NBS) to produce a-bromoimines, which underwent tautomerization to afford
(Z)-|3-bromo-a,p-dehydroamino acids 15ab upon treatment with an amine base. We
examined various amine bases which could be used in the tautomerization step. The
results showed that the use of DABCO instead of EtsN and DBU as a base improved
Z-selectivity and gave the Z-isomer exclusively. This result was consistent with the
observations of Coleman and Carpenter. The cisltrans isomers 15ab could be separated
at this point by column chromatography eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (4/1).
However, attempts to purify compound 15b were not successful due to a contamination
of the a-bromoimine intermediate in this reaction.
We then investigated the Suzuki cross-coupling of 15a with arylboronic acids. We
chose phenylboronic acid and 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid to use in the couplings
63
because Phe and Tyr arc two important amino acid moieties in our cx-MSH and 5-opioid
studies. Suzuki coupling went smoothly to afford 16a and 17a, in 76 and 79% yields,
respectively. Deprotection of A^'^-Boc group was performed in 20% TFA in
dichloromethane (DCM) at room temperature. The TFA salt was neutralized with
NaHCOs, and the reaction was stirred in chloroform at room temperature for 48 h.
Surprisingly the deprotected 16a, 17a underwent cyclization smoothly under this mild
condition without base and heat and afforded 18a, 19a in good yields. Crystallization of
19a from EtOAc and X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed the configuration of the
bridgehead proton (Figure 3-10).
Figure 3-10. The X-ray structure of compound 19a.
On the other hand, we used the crude compound 15b in Suzuki cross-coupling and
the resulting crude product 16b was cyclized to afford 17b in 34% overall yield from 15b.
64
The stereochemistry of 17b was assigned with the use of ID-NOE experiments (Table
3-1).

3.5 Synthesis of Novel 4-Substituted Saturated Indolizidinone Amino Acids
Once the unsaturated bicyclic lactams 18a, 19a were obtained, we investigated the
possibility of converting the unsaturated bicyclic structures to the saturated structures by
hydrogenation. The literature reported that the hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids in
open chain substrates preceded with poor stereoselectivity.''^ However, the restricted
conformation in the bicyclic compound provided an asymmetric environment in
65
hydrogenation. As we expected, compound 18a and 19a were hydro gen ated (Pd-C, Ha,
75 psi) to give 20a and 21a exclusively (Scheme 3-6).

The stereochemistry of 20a was determined based on the NOE data (Table 3-2). In
order to further confirm the relative configuration between the C-3 and C-4 protons, we
performed a modeling study which showed that the dihedral angles between H? and H4
arc 40" and 57° (two conformations) in the syn isomer, and -169" in the anti isomer. The
coupling constants were calculated on the basis of this finding as Jsyn = 4.1 Hz and Janti =
12.5 Hz. The observed coupling constant was 6.9 Hz. Considering the additional fact
that syn addition has been observed in most metal catalyzed hydrogenations, we drew the
conclusion that the relative configuration of H3 and H4 in compound 20a is syn.

We also performed some modeling studies in order to explain the stereoselectivity of
hydrogenation. The conformations of 18a and 19a suggested by these studies (Fig. 3-11)
were later confirmed by the X-ray structure (Fig. 3-10). The stereoselectivity of this
hydrogenation is probably due to the steric hindrance of the axial y proton adjacent to the
olefin group. Although the bottom face approach is sterically hindered by the
bridgehead proton, the axial y proton placed a greater steric effect in this case due to its
proximity to the reaction site.

Figure 3-11. Conformation of compound 18a suggested by modeling study.
As discussed above, wc chose the indolizidinone type system because it is expected
to be a good mimetic of a reverse turn conformation. Our modeling studies showed that
superposition of the two lowest energy conformations of the compound 20a onto a
peptide with various types of P-tum structures (Fig. 3-12) using backbone heavy atoms
gave an RMSD of 0.42 A for the type 11' structure for one conformation, and an RMSD
of 0.56 A for the type V' structure for the other conformation. In other words, the
backbone conformations of the compound best fit the criteria for type 11' and V P-tum
structures.

3.6 Synthesis of Leu-Enkephalin Minietics
Once the methodologies for preparing bicyclic P-tum dipeptide mimetics were
established, we investigated the incorporation of these mimetics into the bioactive peptide,
Leu-enkephalin. The Leu-enkephalin mimetic 24 was synthesized by the usual coupling
protocols (Scheme 3-7). Deprotection of 19a using the LiOH/MeOH system and
coupling with tripeptide H-Gly-Phe-Leu-OMe in DMF using PyBOP and HOBt as the
coupling reagents gave the protected Leu-enkephalin mimetic 22. Treatment of 22 with
IN aqueous Li OH in MeOH released the C-terminal of the peptide and treatment of
resulting product 23 with HBr (30% in AcOH) cleavcd the A^-Cbz protecting group.
However, a problem occurred in the step of purification by HPLC. Free peptidomimetic
24 was unstable in TFA/H20(1%) and decomposed to yield the corresponding hydroxyl
I -V-J -I IJQ j-y
product 25 (Scheme 3-8). ' Therefore, an A protecting group was required for the
stability of the peptidomimetic. Although it has been suggested that the cationic amine
is necessary to the biological activity of Leu-enkephalin, literature has reported the
1 -30 identification of a |i-selective opioid receptor agonist without a cationic amine group.

3.7 Conclusion
In conclusion, we have successfully developed an approach to the synthesis of
unsaturated and saturated azabicyclo[4.3.0]alkane amino acids with an aryl side chain at
the C4 position. This methodology potentially can be extended to the preparation of
more complex molecules, such as 7/5 and 5/5 azabicyclo[X.Y.O]aIkane amino acids.
The unsaturated azabicyclo[4.3.0]alkane amino acid has been incorporated into the
biologically active peptide, Leu-Enkephalin. The study of structure-activity
relationships is still under investigation.

CHAPTER 4. STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 4,8-DlSLIBSTITUTED
AZABICYCLO[4.3.0]NONANE AMINO ACIDS AS PEPTIDOMIMETICS
SCAFFOLDS OF MELANOCORTIN RECEPTOR LIGANDS
4.1 Introduction
a-Melanotropin (a-melanocyte stimulating hormone, a-MSH) is a linear
tridecapeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence Ac-Scr-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-
Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NHa. It is synthesized in the vertebrate pars intermedia
and in the brain.Biologically, a-MSH is known primarily for its ability to
stimulate the integumental melanocyte, in addition to interacting with several other
proposed peripheral and central biological systems.'^
To determine the biologically active conformation of a-MSH, numerous analogues
have been designed and synthesized. Substitution of Nle (sidechain = CH2CH2CH2CH3)
for Met'^ resulted in peptides with more potent biological activity. Inversion of
configuration of L-Phe^ to D-Phe' led to the analogue [Nle'^,DPhe^]a-MSH, which is
referred as "MT-I" and "NDP-a-MSH". This analogue showed a substantial increase in
potency as well as prolonged activity.*'^^ ''"' The conformationally restricted analogue
MT-II possesses potency up to 90 times greater than a-MSH (Figure 4-1).^°'^'^'' Because
cyclization leads to considerable restriction of conformational flexibility of the peptide
backbone and, to a lesser degree, the side-chain groups, MT-Il lends itself to a more
complete evaluation of the biologically active 3D topologies.
79

MT-li
Figure 4-1. Structure of MT-II.
To understand further the effects of conformation on biological potency, we would
like to design and synthesize novel analogues with conformationally constrained
dipeptide mimetics.
4.2 Design of Conformationally Restricted Analogues
Recently the major effort in peptidomimetic research has been to find the organic
moieties that can replace the peptide scaffold and position the crucial recognition
elements in 3D space correctly. Of particular interest are the constrained scaffolds that
not only possess the right conformation but also allow for a wide-ranging display of
substitutes. Azabicyclo[4.3.0]alkane amino acids are unique dipeptide P-tum mimetics.
As we introduced in previous chapters, these scaffolds have been applied as secondary
structure replacement due to their capacity of restricting five backbone bonds in a row
within the peptide. Although the studies have shown that indolizidinone systems can
mimic |3-tum confonnation, little success in the stereoselective incorporation of diverse
substituents on their backbones has limited their application as peptidomimetic scaffolds.
Herein we would like to develop an efficient approach to the synthesis of
4,8-disubstituted azabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane amino acids as peptidomimetic scaffolds of
melanocortin receptor ligands.
80
As part of our ongoing program for the design of novel melanotropin peptide
mimetics, we have identified the core bioactive sequence of melanotropin peptides as
His-(D/L)Phe-Arg-Trp (Figure and found a P-turn structural feature centered in
these core residues.The studies of structure-activity relationships of melanotropin
peptides have resulted in the development of various more potent, prolonged acting and
enzymatically stable analogues, such MT-I and MT-II, which have been widely used in
biological studies. However, these analogues did not show significant selectivity for the
different melanocortin receptors. Recently, we reported the first example of a selective
and potent antagonist at the hMC3 receptor, MK-9.'^'* Based on our conformational
studies of melanotropin peptides and their analogues, we postulated that indolizidinone
systems can serve as peptidomimetic scaffolds of the core sequence in melanotropin
peptides which not only mimic P-tum conformation but also place amino acid side-chain
functionalities in space correctly (Scheme 4-1).

His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp
For designing the synthetic targets 26. we chose the benzyloxycarbonyl group as a
bioisosteric replacement of His because it can be readily introduced from commercially
available reagents. The phenyl group as R2 corresponds to the side-chain of Phe. The
2-naphthyl group is also an interesting element to be incorporated here because we found
that introducing a Nal residue in place of Phe in MT-II converts this potent agonist to a
potent antagonist (SHU9119).^^^ For R3, both guanidine and amine groups are placed at
this site since some literature suggested that the guanidine group might not be essential in
MC4R agonists when a heteroatomic substituent is present in a proper position. Lastly,
tryptamine and phenethylamine are chosen to serve as bioisosteric replacements of
tryptophane amide at the Rj position.
82
4.3 Synthesis of Disubstituted Indolizidinone Amino Acids
4.3.1 Background and General Approach
Our group has developed a strategy to introduce a sidc-chain group at the C-8
position of indoHzidinone amino acids.The strategy involves employing ^-substituted
pyroglutamates as chiral synthetic precursors which could be prepared stereoselectively
by methods recently developed in our laboratory.Stercoselectively introducing
allyl groups at the C-5 position of pyroglutamates and their appropriate elaboration could
afford dehydroamino acid intermediates, which could undergo asymmetric
hydrogenations and cyclizations to afford C8-substituted indolizidinone amino acids. In
addition, as discussed in the previous chapter, we recently have developed a novel
methodology which could readily prepare C4-substituted unsaturated and saturated
indolizidinone amino acid esters.The functional groups at C-4 were introduced by
bromination of dehydroamino acid intermediates followed by Suzuki couphng.
Hydrogenation of the unsaturated bicyclic dehydroamino acid esters provided saturated
bicyclic lactams. These successful synthetic results directed our attention to developing
a convergent synthetic approach using a combination of these two methods to synthesize
peptidomimetics 26. The retrosynthetic analysis of the target analogues 26 is described
in Scheme 4-2.

4.3.2 Synthesis of p-Substituted Pyroglutamic Acid Ester.
As the first goal in our studies, a method for introducing an appropriate side-chain
group at C-8 was investigated. As discussed above, the side-chain functionality could
be introduced at the C8 position by using the pyroglutamic acid ester with a
corresponding substituent at the (3-position as the starting material. Therefore, a novel
P-substituted pyroglutamic acid was the first synthetic target in the approach.

(e) (S)-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone, nBuLi, THE, -78 °C;
As illustrated in Scheme 4-2, the proposed approach would include diverse reactions.
Therefore, it was important to identify the proper protecting group for the amino group in
the starting material which would later be functionalized in the final step. This
protecting group should be sufficiently robust to survive the projected reactions, and also
should be orthogonal to other functionalities and be labile enough to be removed in the
final step. Furthermore, based on our earlier studies, it seemed likely that a
mono-protected nitrogen would interfere with the aldehyde intermediate.^^ All of these
requirements prompted us to choose the phthalimide group to doubly protect the amine
group. Aldehyde 28 was prepared in good yield by PCC oxidation of alcohol 27
85
following the literature procedure (Scheme 4-3)."'"^ However, when the reaction was
performed on a large scale, the reduced chromium byproduct made workup difficult.
Thus we employed the Swem oxidation as a good alternative synthetic method to prepare
28 on a large scale. Wittig olefination of aldehyde 28 with (?-butoxycarbonylmethyl)
triphenylphosphonium bromide in the presence of NaOH and triethylamine in a
two-phase system of dichloromethane/HaO gave the £'-5-A'-phlhalimido-a,P-unsaturatcd
/-butyl ester 29 in excellent yield. The /-butyl protecting group was removed by
treatment with 50% TFA in dichloromethane, and 5-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone was
coupled to the deprotected 29 as the chiral auxiliary for asymmetric functionalization of
the P-position in the next step.
Optically pure 4-substituted oxazolidin-2-ones were introduced as chiral auxiliaries
by Evans"^'*' and later were widely used due to their excellent stereoconlrolling power in
acylation,'^^ aldol condensation,"'^"^''' and Diels-Alder reactions.'™ According to the
literature, successful application of chiral 4-substitutcd oxazolidin-2-ones in conjugate
addition reactions always required the use of a chelating agent (e.g. LiCl, MgC104, or
CuBr) to form the corresponding metal-chelated intermediates, in which the
stereocontrolling 4-substituted group could be located in close proximity to the CC
double bond so as to efficiently control its facial selectivity (Scheme 4-4).'^'''^"
Furthermore, the eiectrophilicity of the CC double bond is substantially enhanced, as
compared with the corresponding esters, due to the fact that an oxazolidin-2-one is a
substantially stronger electron-withdrawing substituent than alkoxy groups. Thus
4-substituted oxazolidin-2-ones can not only provide excellent diastereoselectivity, but
86
also enhanced reactivity in asymmetric Michael addition.

Meanwhile, chiral Ni(II) complex (S)-32 was prepared according to a literature
procedure (Scheme 4-5).'"^ First the amination of (5)-proline with benzyl chloride was
conducted at 40 °C in /-PrOH in the presence of KOH with 78% yield to give
/V-benzylproline in hydrochloride salt form. Then //-benzylproline was coupled with
2-aminobenzophenone to give the chiral ligand,
A'-(A^-benylprolyl)-2-aminobenzophenonc (BPB, 31). After simple work-up by washing
with deionized water, the ligand was used for the next step without further purification.
The Ni(Il) complex 32 was formed between the chiral ligand and glycine in the presence
of NiCl-6H20 under strong base in MeOH at 55 "C for 6 hours.

The presence of the proline stereogenic center in the complex imparts an asymmetric
distortion to the rigid polycyclic system of the chelate rings, which brings about a steric
shielding of the corresponding enolate on the re face by the ketimine phenyl group.
Accordingly, in the Michael addition, the electrophile approaches preferentially from the
si face to form a new complex with pseudoaxial orientation of the introduced substituent
which usually leads to an a-(5) absolute configuration (Scheme 4-6).

Hydrolysis of the Ni(ll) complex 33a followed by cyclization under the basic
condition afforded the corresponding {5-substituted pyroglutamic acid (Scheme 4-8).
Attempts to purify the amino acid using a Dowex ion-exchange resin column were not
successful probably due to a contamination of the uncyclized product. Instead the crude
amino acid was protected directly as the N^-Boc pyroglutamate 34. Compound 34 was
purified by flash column chromatography and the configuration was confirmed by X-ray
crystallographic analysis (Figure 4-3).

4.3.3 Synthesis of 8-Substituted Azabicyclo[4.3.()]Alkane Amino Acids
The lactam moiety of pyroglutamate usually could be reduced selectively by
Super-Hydride (LiBEtsH).'^'* However, in agreement with a previous report,''^ the
treatment of 34 with Super-Hydride (LiBEtsH) also resulted in the reduction of the
phthalimide protecting group. Therefore, we chose to use DIBAL-H which the
phthalimide group is stable to. The reduction by DIBAL-H followed by treatment with
methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-TsOH afforded the methoxyaminal
which was directly subjected to allyltrimethylsilane and boron trifluoride in ether without
further purification (Scheme 4-9). Consistent with our previous observations, the
allylsilane addition to the vV-acyliminium intermediate gave exclusively the trans product
related to the p-substituent as a result of a neighboring group participation of the methyl
91
ester and the steric effect of the P-substituent. The optically pure intermediate 35
underwent osmylation and subsequent oxidation with NaI04 to afford the aldehyde
intermediate. The dchydroamino acid ester 36 was obtained via the Homer-Emmons
1 nft olefination of the aldehyde intermediate.

With the important intermediate 36 in hand, we employed asymmetric

diastereoselectivity (>96% ee)/^^'^^^ Deprotection of N^-Boc group was performed in
20% TFA in dichloromethane at rt. The TFA salt was neutralized with NaHCOs and the
reaction was stirred in chloroform at rt. The cyclization proceeded smoothly under
these mild conditions to give bicyclic lactams 38 and 39 in good yield.

4.3.4 Synthesis of 4,8-Disubstituted Indolizidinone Amino Acid Ester
Having developed the methods to introduce side-chain groups at the C-4 and C-8
positions, respectively, we were able to carry out experiments aimed at preparing
peptidomimetics 26 by combining the two methodologies. With the dehydroamino acid
ester 36 in hand, we treated it with iV-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in chloroform to producc
the a-bromoimines (Scheme 4-11). Upon treatment with an amine base, the
a-bromoimine intermediates underwent tautomerization to afford the
(Z)-P-bromo-a,(3-dehydroamino acid 40. Consistent with our previous observation,
using DABCO in stead of TEA and DBU in the tautomerization step resulted in the Z
isomers exclusively. Suzuki coupling of 40 with phenylboronic acid and
2-naphthalcneboronic acid introduced the phenyl and 2-naphthyl groups at the P-position
of the dehydroamino acid. Deprotection of the V-Boc group in 41 and 42 was
performed with 20% TFA in dichloromethane at it. The TFA salt was neutralized with
NaHCOs solution and the reaction was stirred in chloroform at rt. The cyclization
proceeded smoothly to give bicyclic lactam 43 and 44 in good yields after 24 h.

Peptides
Deprotection of the phthalimide protecting group in 43 and 44 was accomplished by
treatment with hydrazine at rt for 24 h (Scheme 4-12). Work-up and purification of free
amine gave poor yields. Thus the crude free amines 45 and 46 were directly
guanidinated to give 47 and 48, using the commercial available guanidinating reagent.
95
A^,iV'-bis(te?t-butoxycarbonyl)-//"-triflylguanidine. Although an initial attempt using
DMAP as base failed, the guanidinating reaction with triethylamine afforded 47 and 48 in
good yields. The configuration of 47 was confirmed by NOE (Table 4-1). Hydrolysis
of the methyl ester group using IN Li OH and MeOH (1:2) went slowly due to the steric
hindrance of the neighboring group. Subsequently, deprotected 47 and 48 were treated
with tryptamine or phenethylamine in DMF using BOP and HOBt as the coupling reagent
to yield 49- 51. On the other hand, hydrazinolysis of 44 followed by protection of
amine with Boc afforded 52 (Scheme 4-13). In a similar way, tryptamine was coupled
to 52 to afford 53. Compounds 49-51 and 53 were treated with 20% TFA in
dichloromethane to remove the Boc group. The deprotected products were purified by
HPLC and submitted for biotests.

4.4 Future Work
In our ongoing opioid and a-MSH program, the studies have indicated that the
conformational requirements for optimal interaction with different receptors differ in a
subtle manner.On the other hand, the configurations of the peptidomimetics
influence their conformations. Thus it is very important for us to have the approach to
every individual stereoisomer of the peptidomimetics. As discussed in Chapter 3,
98
hydrogenalion of unsaturated indolizidinone amino acid only afforded one stereoisomer
due to the steric effect. Therefore, other methods to reduce the double bonds will be
investigated (Scheme 4-14). Once other stereoisomers are available, they will be
incorporated into the peptidomimetics and provide us with more valuable information.

4.5 Conclusion
4,8-Disubstituted azabicyclo[4.3.0]alkane amino acid analogues (26) were designed
to serve as peptidomimetic scaffolds of the core sequence in melanotropin peptides due to
their ability to provide constrained backbone and side-chain conformations. We have
developed efficient synthetic methodologies to introduce side-chain functionalities at the
C-4 and C-8 positions and also demonstrated the synthesis of analogues 49-51 and 53.
99
In our approach, the pyroglutamates with appropriate P-substituents were prepared
stereoselectively via asymmetric Michael additions between a Ni(II) complex and a chiral
oxazolidin-2-one derivative. The aliylation of the p-substituted pyroglutamates
followed by osmylation and Horner-Emmons olefination gave the dehydroamino acid
ester intermediates in good yield. The aryl side-chain at the C-4 position was
introduced via bromination of the dehydroamino acid ester and Suzuki cross-coupling.
The cyclization afforded bicyclic lactam structures which were subsequently
functionalized and coupled with tryptamine or phenethylamine to provide the target
analogues. The biological activities of these analogues are under investigation.

General procedure of coupling reactions: The solution of starting material in Li OH
115
(IN) and methanol (1:2) was stirred at rt for 3 h. After the solution was neutralized by
HCl (IN), it was washed with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over
Na2S04 and concentrated in vacuo. To the solution of the residue in dichloromethane
was added PyBOP (1.1 eq), HOBt (1.1 eq), DIPEA (3 eq) and amine (2 eq). The
mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h before washing with NH4CI. The organic phase was
collected and dried over Na2S04. After the solvent was removed, the crude product was
purified by column chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc = 1:2).
