โฆ Synopsis
The synthesis of four partially deoxygenated gluconic amino acids from fully acetylated D-glucal is described. Replacement of the central AA dipeptide in the CAAX tetrapeptide corresponding to the C-terminus of K-Ras p21 by one of these sugar amino acid building blocks led to a novel protein:farnesyl transferase inhibitor.

Dedicated to Professor Dieter Seebach on the occasion of his 65th birthday Two orthogonally protected SAA building blocks were used in the synthesis of eight novel analogues of the CaaX motif present in the natural substrates of protein:geranylgeranyltransferase I (PGGT I), an enzyme involved in the
