Abstract

Pyrroloisoquinoline-based peptidomimetics are of significant interest in bioorganic chemistry as these targets are known to exhibit type II′ β-turn activity. In this paper we present a novel approach to such pyrroloisoquinoline templates based on a stereoselective N-acyliminium- mediated cyclization reaction to construct the heterocyclic core, coupled with an enolate amination protocol. We have applied both symmetrical and unsymmetrical electrophilic ...
