Sf. Martin et Rk. Hom, Stereoselective elaboration of side chain residues in cyclopropane-containing dipeptide isosteres, TETRAHEDR L, 40(15), 1999, pp. 2887-2890
A variety of alkyl, substituted alkyl, and aryl side chain residues in cycl
opropane-containing dipeptide isosteres were introduced by the highly diast
ereoselective (dr greater than or equal to 20:1) additions of organolithium
or Grignard reagents to N, N-dimethylhydrazone 6. The resulting hydrazines
were transformed into the corresponding N-Boc-protected amines with little
or no stereochemical erosion. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re
