Prenyl sulfates as alkylating reagents for mercapto amino acids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new methodology for prenylation of thiol compounds has been developed. The approach is based on the use of prenyl sulfates as new reagents for S-prenylation of benzenethiol and cysteamine in aqueous systems. The C(10)-prenols geraniol and nerol that differ in the configuration (E or Z, correspondingly) of the alpha-isoprene unit were efficiently O-sulfated in the presence of a pyridine-SO(3') complex. The obtained geranyl and neryl sulfates were tested as alkylating agents. These compounds were chosen to reveal the influence of the alpha-isoprene unit configuration on their alkylation (prenylation) ability. S-Geranyl cysteine was prepared to demonstrate the applicability of this method for prenylation of peptides containing mercapto amino acids.

Efficient and chemoselective alkylation of amines/amino acids using alcohols as alkylating reagents under mild conditions.
We report a mild and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of tertiary amines using alcohols as the alkylating reagents. Not only secondary amines such as piperazines but also amino acids and amino alcohols can be N-alkylated selectively. For N,O-benzyl protected amino alcohols, both N,O-de-benzylation and N-methylation were achieved in one-pot.
متن کاملDistributed Drug Discovery, Part 2: Global Rehearsal of Alkylating Agents for the Synthesis of Resin-Bound Unnatural Amino Acids and Virtual D3 Catalog Construction
Distributed Drug Discovery (D(3)) proposes solving large drug discovery problems by breaking them into smaller units for processing at multiple sites. A key component of the synthetic and computational stages of D(3) is the global rehearsal of prospective reagents and their subsequent use in the creation of virtual catalogs of molecules accessible by simple, inexpensive combinatorial chemistry....
متن کاملStudies on the active centre of Rhodotorula gracilis D-amino acid oxidase and comparison with pig kidney enzyme.
D-Amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.3) from Rhodotorula gracilis has been reconstituted with 8-chloro-, 8-mercapto-, 6-hydroxy-, 2-thio-, 5-deaza- and 1-deaza-FAD, and the properties of the resulting complexes have been studied and compared with those of the correspondingly modified pig kidney D-amino acid oxidases. Binding appears to be tight for most analogues, at least as tight as for native FAD ...

A total of 19 alkylated heterocycles (thiophenes, benzothiophenes, pyrroles, furans) were prepared (36-99% yield) from the respective pyridin-2-yl-substituted precursors employing alkylboronic acids as the C-H alkylating reagents in an oxidative (Ag2CO3 and 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone as oxidants) Pd-catalysed coupling reaction.
متن کاملExperimental Chemotherapy Studies. Iv. the Protective Action of Mercaptoalkylamines against Alkylating Agents.
SUMMARY The protective action of mercaptoalkylamines has been examined. Anticipated protection against HN2 has been observed, l-mercapto-2-aminobutane being slightly more effective than cysteamine. Protection failed in the case of L-phenylalanine mustard and chloroquine mustard, but significant post-protection was obtained with Cytoxan. Results obtained with various combinations of intraperiton...
