A convenient method of synthesizing a tripeptide-containing N-methyl group amino acid was developed using O-benzotriazole-N,N,N＇,N＇-tetramethyluronium-hexafluorophosphate as the condensing agent. The crystals of tripeptide had white needles belonging to the orthorhombic space group P2_12_12_1. The conformational preference for homochiral tripeptides with one N-methylated amide bond was also investigated. Crystal-structure analysis showed that homochiral tripeptides with an internal N-methylated amide bond preferred a trans-amide form, thereby giving the peptide β-fold characteristics. Intermolecular C-H···O and N-H···O hydrogen bonds linked the molecules into a one-dimensional chain and stabilized the structure.
采用碳端到氮端依次连接策略,以天冬氨酸、甘氨酸、精氨酸为起始原料,以HBTU为缩合剂,Asp(OBzl)-OAllyl顺次分别与Boc-甘氨酸和Cbz-Arg(Cbz)2偶联生成碳端和氮端保护的RGD。进一步在N-甲基吗啉存在下以Pd(PPh3)4催化脱去烯丙基,得到目标产物。中间产物和目标产物的分离、提纯采用重结晶和柱层析法,应用1 H NMR,13C NMR和MS等对其结构进行了表征。
