Popis: The synthesis of tryptophan analogs is reported in which the conformation has been constrained by formation of a seven-membered lactam. Boc-protected 2′-formyl tryptophan was obtained by SeO2 oxidation of Boc-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid. Reductive amination was performed with a variety of amines and amino acid esters using sodium cyanoborohydride, followed by ring closure to the target compounds. The constrained Trp derivative has been incorporated into the endomorphin-1 opioid peptide sequence to probe the bioactive conformation.
