Abstract

The unusal keto amino acid. (s)-2-amino-8-oxodecanoic acid(Aoda) is a biologically important constituent of the naturally occurring cyclic tetrapeptides such as apicidins. Consequently extensive chemical modifications of Aoda residue of apicidin were studied, and we are obtained the practical and versatile synthesis of the long-chained keto amino acids in enantlomerically pure form by alkylation with bromoketone and chiral Scholkopf auxiilary.
