- Chemical dynamic kinetic resolution and S/R interconversion of unprotected α-amino acids
-
Reported herein is the first purely chemical method for the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of unprotected racemic α-amino acids (α-AAs), a method which can rival the economic efficiency of the enzymatic reactions. The DKR reaction principle can be readily applied for S/R interconversions of α-AAs, the methodological versatility of which is unmatched by biocatalytic approaches. The presented process features a virtually complete stereochemical outcome, fully recyclable source of chirality, and operationally simple and convenient reaction conditions, thus allowing its ready scalability. A quite unique and novel mode of the thermodynamic control over the stereochemical outcome, including an exciting interplay between axial, helical, and central elements of chirality is proposed. A new player for DKR: Dynamic kinetic resolution of α-amino acids has been achieved upon complexation with nickel(II) and a chiral ligand derived from optically active bis(naphthyl)amine under thermodynamic control, thus affording excellent diastereoselectivities and chemical yields. The S to R interconversion of α-amino acids is also described.

- A "catch-and-release" protocol for alkyne-tagged molecules based on a resin-bound cobalt complex for peptide enrichment in aqueous media
-
The development of new and mild protocols for the specific enrichment of biomolecules is of significant interest from the perspective of chemical biology. A cobalt-phosphine complex immobilised on a solid-phase resin has been found to selectively bind to a propargyl carbamate tag, that is, "catch", under dilute aqueous conditions (pH 7) at 4-°C. Upon acidic treatment of the resulting resin-bound alkyne-cobalt complex, the Nicholas reaction was induced to "release" the alkyne-tagged molecule from the resin as a free amine. Model studies revealed that selective enrichment of the alkyne-tagged molecule could be achieved with high efficiency at 4-°C. The proof-of-concept was applied to an alkyne-tagged amino acid and dipeptide. Studies using an alkyne-tagged dipeptide proved that this protocol is compatible with various amino acids bearing a range of functionalities in the side-chain. In addition, selective enrichment and detection of an amine derived from the "catch and release" of an alkyne-tagged dipeptide in the presence of various peptides has been accomplished under highly dilute conditions, as determined by mass spectrometry. Catch and release: The specific enrichment of alkyne-tagged molecules has been achieved by using cobalt beads. A cobalt complex bound to a resin was found to selectively "catch" a propargyl carbamate tag under dilute aqueous conditions (see scheme). Upon acidic treatment of the alkyne-cobalt complex, the Nicholas reaction was induced to "release" an amine. Studies using an alkyne-tagged dipeptide proved its compatibility with various amino acids and peptides under highly dilute conditions.

- Synthesis of enantiopure free and N-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected 3-substituted homotaurines from naturally occurring amino acids
-
Enantiopure N-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected and free 3-substituted homotaurines were synthesized from naturally occurring amino acids via N-benzyloxycarbonyl protection, Arndt-Eistert homologation, reduction, esterification with thioacetic acid, and oxidation with performic acid. The current method is a convenient, practical, and salt-free method for the synthesis of enantiopure 3-substituted homotaurine with moderate to good yields.

- α-Helix nucleation constant in copolypeptides of alanine and ornithine or lysine
-
The α-helix is one of a small number of fundamental structural motifs of the peptide backbone that are abundant in native proteins. The forces responsible for its stability have attracted a great deal of theoretical and experimental attention. Helix formation can naturally be considered in terms of two processes, initial nucleation of a helix from a sequence of disordered residues and propagation or growth of helical structure from such a nucleus. Data from a variety of short peptide and polypeptide models have revealed more details about the propagation of helix structure than about helix nucleation. To investigate helix nucleation, we have synthesized two series of high molecular weight polypeptides containing differing ratios of alanine and one of the basic side chains, ornithine or lysine; poly L-alanine is insoluble in water. The CD signals of these copolymers have been analyzed by a program that evaluates the helix content in terms of the experimental chain-length distribution and composition, with the helix nucleation constant (σ value) and the propagation constants (s values) for the amino acids involved. Fitting the CD data allows the determination of the propagation constants for Orn (s = 0.45) and Lys (s = 0.8) in addition to that of the helix nucleation constant once the s value for Ala is specified. The value of σ is sensitive to the dependence of the CD signal on helix length; using the Yang equation, [θ]222 = -41000(n - x)/n, with x = 2.5, the nucleation constant value is σ = 0.004 ± 0.002 at 4 °C in the presence of 1 M salt. This value is consistent with earlier estimates based on analysis of the helix-coil transition in poly(Lys), poly(Glu), and shorter Ala-rich peptides. However, if x is taken to be zero, the resulting σ value is 0.02, considerably larger than the above estimates.

- Differentiation Among the Four Diastereomers of Benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-Hydroxyornithine in Negative-ion Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry
-
Discrimination among the four γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers was studied by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS).It is impossible to distinguish among the four diastereomers of this amino acid by positive- and negative-ion FAB and collisionally activated dissociation MS, but benzyloxycarbonyl group protection of the α- and δ-amino groups in γ-hydroxyornithine allows differentiation among the diastereomers in negative-ion FABMS.The negative-ion mass spectra of benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers showed differences among the abundances of the molecule ion (-), the dehydrated ion (-) due to the loss of the γ-hydroxyl group and the fragment ions formed from both (-) and (-) ions.On the other hand, no difference was found between the fragmentations of the benzyloxycarbonyl-protected enantiomers of ornithine in negative-ion FABMS.These results indicate that the orientation of the γ-hydroxyl group and the existence of two benzene rings in the benzyloxycarbonyl group are important factors which are responsible for the fragmentations of the four benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers in negative-ion FABMS.These studies also showed that the negative-ion FABMS for benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers is a useful method for determining the configuration of each diastereomer of γ-hydroxyornithine.
