Abstract

Diazoketone derivatives were obtained on solid support from their corresponding α-amino acids anchored by their N-terminus to the resin. A complete study was performed to optimize the two steps process of this synthesis on solid support: activation of the carboxylic acid function followed by reaction with diazomethane. The obtained diazoketones were then submitted to Wolff rearrangement in the presence of an amine to yield the corresponding ­homologated amides or in the presence of water to yield the corresponding β-homologated amino acids.

Key words

α-amino-diazoketone - Wolff rearrangement - solid-phase synthesis - inverse anchoring
