I. Ojima et F. Delaloge, ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF BUILDING-BLOCKS FOR PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDOMIMETICS BY MEANS OF THE BETA-LACTAM SYNTHON METHOD, Chemical Society reviews, 26(5), 1997, pp. 377-386
Recent advances in the syntheses of enantiopure synthetic building blo
cks useful for non-protein amino acids, dipeptides, oligopeptides usin
g solid state peptide synthesis, isoserines (norstatines), dipeptide i
sosteres [hydroxy(keto)ethylene, hydroxyethylamine, hydroxyethylene an
d dihydroxyethylene isosteres], taxoids, polyamines, poly(amino alcoho
l)s and poly(amino ether)s, and other biologically active compounds th
rough applications of the beta-lactam synthon method is reviewed.
