✦ Synopsis

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of a new series of dithiocarbamate-linked peptidomimetics is described. The in situ generated dithiocarbamic acid intermediate formed by the reaction of an amino acid ester and carbon disulfide in the presence of triethylamine was treated with N-protected amino alkyl iodide to afford title compounds 3a-g in good to moderate yields. The synthesis of N-Fmoc-protected tripeptidomimetics 4a-e containing two dithiocarbamate linkages is also described. The protocol was further extended to synthesize N,N 0 -orthogonally protected dithiocarbamate-linked dipeptidomimetics 7ac as well. The mild reaction conditions and non-toxic reagents are the advantages of the present method.
