Synthesis and properties of MIDA boronate containing aromatic amino acids: new peptide building blocks

Org Biomol Chem. 2011 Mar 21;9(6):1864-70. doi: 10.1039/c0ob00847h. Epub 2011 Jan 31.

Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis of novel phenylalanine and tyrosine derivatives containing a N-methyliminodiacetic acid boronate group. These compounds can be prepared enantiomerically pure, they are stable to column chromatography and they can be stored in air for two months without degradation occurring. This new class of boronate containing aromatic amino acids has potential applications in both peptide chemistry and natural product synthesis.
