(18)) sowie die trans-Anordnung der beiden Substituenten am Ring C, beruht auf den Ergebnissen einer ' H-NMR-NOE-differenzspektroskopischen Analyse von F430M. Infolge der trigonalen Struktur des meso-C-Atoms C(10) zwischen den Ringen B und C war es mit der NOE-Methodik nicht moglich gewesen, die Strukturbereiche der Ringe B und C konjigurativ zu korrelieren. Dies ist der Grund dafur, dass ein experimenteller Beweis der ahsoluten Konfiguration von F430 bislang fehlte, wiewohl es moglich war, durch ozonolytische Herausspaltung des Ringes C als Succinimid-Derivat und dessen Identifikation als (2S,3S)-Enantiomer (vgl. Schema) eine auf den Ring-C-Bezirk beschrankte Teilaussage zu machen [l]. Die im Formelbild 1 bzw. 2 wiedergegebene absolute Konfiguration im
Novel thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogues containing the unnatural and heteroaromatic L-pyrrolylalanine, D-pyrrolylalanine, and L-furylalanine amino acids in position 2 have been synthesised. L-Furylalanine was obtained by the stereospecific hydrolysis of the N-acetyl-D,Lamino acid with acylase I. A protected derivative of D,L-pyrrolylalanine was prepared, the racemate was incorporated into the tripeptide and the LLL and LDL diastereoisomers were separated at the end of the synthesis.
Ethoxycarbonylmethanesulphenyl chloride reacts with triethylamine t o give the transient thioaldehyde, ethyl thioxoacetate, which has been trapped, in situ, by cycloaddition to various conjugated dienes.Until recently,lT2 cycloaddition reactions of thioaldehydes with conjugated dienes had not been reported, although the syn-thetic utility of the Diels-Alder adducts of other thiocarbonyl compounds is well a p p r e ~i a t e d . ~The neglect of simple4 thio-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
