D. Benishai et Ar. Mcmurray, INTRAMOLECULAR AMIDOALKYLATION OF AROMATICS .2. SYNTHESIS OF CONFORMATIONALLY RESTRICTED BRIDGED PEPTIDES ANALOGS OF PHG-GLY OR GLY-PHG, Tetrahedron, 49(29), 1993, pp. 6399-6410
Derivatives of Phg-alpha-MeO-GlyOH(3) and its isomer alpha-MeO-Gly-Phg
(2) were prepared and their inter and intramolecular amidoalkylation r
eactions were studied. Derivatives of 2 underwent smooth cyclization t
o give 4-amino-3-isoquinolon-1-carboxylic acid derivatives (4, 8). The
isomer 3, which reacted smoothly intermolecularly with toluene to giv
e the open chain peptide 7, reacted sluggishly intramolecularly.
