โœฆ Synopsis


3-[p-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenyl]alanine has been prepared in 10 steps from p-bromobenzyl alcohol. The alcohol was converted to 3-(alpha-iodo-p-tolyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirine, which was used to alkylate N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine ethyl ester. After deprotection the amino acid was obtained with an overall yield of 18%. The D- and L-isomers of 3-[p-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenyl]alanine have also been resolved, and 3-[p-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]phenyl]alanine labeled with tritium has been prepared. The advantages of using this amino acid as a building block for peptide photoaffinity reagents is discussed.

A highly efficient coupling reagent, 2-bromo-3-ethyl-4-methyl thiazolium tetrafluoroborate (BEMT), was designed, synthesized and successfully applied to the synthesis of oligopeptides containing N-alkyl or oc-C-dialkyl amino acids. Its efficiency was evaluated by HPLC and 'H NMR methods, and demonst
