Abstract

Abstract Peptides with increased lipophilicity can cross cell membranes more easily and have longer half-life times. For these reasons, the synthesis of enantiomerically pure Fmoc- protected lipidic α-amino acids is a relevant goal. Schiff bases originating from the reaction between the two enantiomers of 2-hydroxypinan-3-one with Gly-OtBu were alkylated with a series of long alkyl halides. Diastereomeric excesses were determined by reversed-phase ...
