Gr. Pettit et al., THE DOLASTATINS .22. SYNTHESIS OF BOC-DOLAPROINYL-DOLAPHENINE AND 4 RELATED CHIRAL ISOMERS, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(11), 1994, pp. 2935-2938
Synthesis of the dolastatin 10 (1) dipeptide segment N-(tert-butoxycar
bonyl)-dolaproinyl-dolaphenine (2, Boc-Dap-Doe) and four chiral isomer
s (3-5, 13) has been summarized. Formation of the amide bond was readi
ly accomplished employing diethyl cyanophosphonate. The stereochemical
assignments for Boc-Dap-Doe (2) and Boc-Dap-(6R)-Doe (3) were confirm
ed by X-ray crystal structure analyses.
