Sulfones, vinyl amino

The synthesis of the preceding vinyl amino sulfone offers a very good example of a stereospecific sulfide-directed epoxidation (Scheme 76).Oxidation of optically active sulfide alcohol (12 readily made from epoxycyclopentadiene and resolved) with MCPBA affords the corresponding sulfoxide, which is in equilibrium with the sulfenate ester. Treatment with pyridine hydrobromide and then phenyl disulfide and bromine gives the bromodiol (13), which is simply cyclized to the epoxide with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (83% overall yield from the sulfoxide). Treatment of the P-epoxy sulfone with DBU followed by in situ silylation with f-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride affords an 86% yield of vinyl sulfone (14). Mesylation of the alcohol moiety followed by immediate treatment with dimethylamine produces the amino vinyl sulfone via a syn Sn2 substitution. ... 

Some commercial durable antistatic finishes have been Hsted in Table 3 (98). Early patents suggest that amino resins (qv) can impart both antisHp and antistatic properties to nylon, acryUc, and polyester fabrics. CycHc polyurethanes, water-soluble amine salts cross-linked with styrene, and water-soluble amine salts of sulfonated polystyrene have been claimed to confer durable antistatic protection. Later patents included dibydroxyethyl sulfone [2580-77-0] hydroxyalkylated cellulose or starch, poly(vinyl alcohol) [9002-86-2] cross-linked with dimethylolethylene urea, chlorotria2ine derivatives, and epoxy-based products. Other patents claim the use of various acryUc polymers and copolymers. Essentially, durable antistats are polyelectrolytes, and the majority of usehil products involve variations of cross-linked polyamines containing polyethoxy segments (92,99—101). 

Most immobilization methods require modification of the ligands for anchoring to the support by introducing functional groups such as vinyl, trialkoxysilyl, sulfonic acid, and amino groups. The consequence is often a more elaborate synthesis of the ligand, which adds to the costs of an immobilized catalyst. However, two interesting approaches were developed in recent years, when unmodi-...

Peptide thioesters (Section 15.1.10) are generally prepared by coupling protected amino acids or peptides with thiols and are used for enzymatic hydrolysis. Peptide dithioesters, used to study the structures of endothiopeptides (Section 15.1.11), may be prepared by the reaction of peptide nitriles with thiols followed by thiolysis (Pinner reaction). Peptide vinyl sulfones (Section 15.1.12), inhibitors of various cysteine proteases, are prepared from N-protected C-terminal aldehydes with sulfonylphosphonates. Peptide nitriles (Section 15.1.13) prepared by dehydration of peptide amides, acylation of a-amino nitriles, or the reaction of Mannich adducts with alkali cyanides, are relatively weak inhibitors of serine proteases. 

Only one method has been used to prepare peptide vinyl sulfones. N-Terminal protected peptides are reacted with the salts of amino acid vinyl sulfones derived from the Horner-Emmons reaction of N-terminal protected aldehydes with sulfonylphosphonates in the presence of a base. 4 5 ... 

Various peptide Michael acceptors have been described as a new class of inactivators for cysteine proteases. 5-7 The carbonyl group of the scissile peptide bond in the substrate is replaced by a nucleophile trapping moiety such as a vinylogous structure. An amino acid vinyl sulfone, l-(methylsulfonyl)-4-phenylbut-l-en-3-amine [H2NCH(Bzl)CH=CHS02Me] and a dipeptide derivative, Gly-HNCH(Bzl)CH=CHS02Me have both been prepared as inhibitors of cysteine proteases, leucine aminopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase I, respectively.1 5 A series of peptide vinyl sulfones has been synthesized as potent inhibitors for different cysteine proteases. 1A8 ... 

Horner-Emmons reaction of N-terminal blocked aldehyde 1 with sulfonylphosphonates in the presence of sodium hydride gives the amino acid vinyl sulfone 2, which is deprotected with acid and converted into its chloride or tosylate salt 3 and coupled by the mixed anhydride method with an N-terminal protected peptide or amino acid to give the desired peptide vinyl sulfones 4 (Scheme 2). 4 5 N-Terminal protected aldehydes 1 are obtained from reduction of Boc amino acid V-methoxy-A-methylamides (Weinreb amides, see Section 15.1.1) by lithium aluminum hydride. 9 The V-methoxy-V-methylamide derivatives are prepared by reaction of Boc amino acids with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in... 

In the Horner-Emmons reaction (Scheme 3), the sulfonylphosphonate carbanion 5 is formed in the presence of NaH and then reacts with an aldehyde to produce the intermediate 6 that undergoes in situ elimination to yield the vinyl sulfones and phosphonate anion. The sulfonyl group can stabilize the anion in the sulfonylphosphonate 5. The vinyl sulfones that are produced by this method using aldehydes as starting materials are exclusively the E (trans) isomers. The E-isomers of the vinyl sulfones are shown in the NMR spectra based on the coupling constants of the vinylic protons. Although strongly basic conditions are used in the Horner-Emmons reaction and a-amino aldehydes are easily racemized, the amino acid vinyl sulfones prepared by this method still show substantial optical activity. However, the enantiomeric purity of these compounds has not been determined. 5 ... 

Enolate additions to p-halovinyl sulfones (289a) show synthetic promise notable is the procedure, by Metcalf, for vinylation of a-amino acid derivatives, e.g. (289a — 317 — 318).220 Recently, Ban reported that alicyclic ketone enolates add to the acetyl cation equivalent (319) to afford 1,3-diketones (Scheme 98).22(" In general, (3-halovinyl sulfones are synthetically superior to the (3-halovinyl sulfoxides.
