Synthesis of azide-alkyne fragments for "Click" chemical applications. Part 2. Formation of oligomers from orthogonally protected chiral trialkylsilylhomopropargyl azides and homopropargyl alcohols

Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A small library of chiral, β3-substituted homopropargyl alcohols and chiral β3-substituted trimethylsilylhomopropargyl azides were generated starting from natural L-amino acids. The free alkynes and azides were then coupled, using a Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, to provide chiral oligomeric 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles as potential peptidomimetic compounds. The work is an extension to the previous synthesis of racemic, orthogonally protected 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles from the corresponding α-substituted propargyl alcohols and α-substituted trialkylsilylpropargyl azides. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
