Cyclic products of the Ugi reaction of aldehydo and keto carboxylic acids: chemoselective modification
Abstract
A method for the chemoselective reduction of Ugi-type lactam amides at the lactam carbonyl functionality with borane complexes has been developed. The novel reduction products can be further manipulated synthetically to yield various novel N- and C-terminally active unnatural amino acid building blocks.
