Annotation: Stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of novel heterocyclic amino acids in their N-Boc and O-Me protected forms has been developed from commercially available chiral or achiral carboxylic acids. New 5-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates have been synthesized from piperidine-4-carboxylic acid via β-ketoester which was converted into β-enamino ketone and coupled with aryl and alkyl hydrazines. Cyclocondensation of β-enamino ketones from piperidine-4-carboxylic, enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-piperidine-2-carboxylic, and (R)- and (S)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acids with 55% hydrazine hydrate solution followed by N-alkylation with alkyl iodides afforded a library of chiral and achiral 3-(N-Boc-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates and 3-(N-Boc-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates. New highly stereopure enantiomeric and diastereomeric methyl 2-[(Boc-amino)cycloamin-1-yl]alkanoates have been synthesized from enantiopure α-monosubstituted 2-hydroxyalkanoic acids via a three-step synthetic approach. The nucleophilic substitution of the chiral and achiral azaheterocyclic amines and the corresponding chiral triflate esters is followed by the inversion of reacting C-2 of triflate esters. The subsequent modification of synthesized methyl 2-[(Boc-amino)cycloamin-1-yl]alkanoates has led to new chiral N-Boc- and N-nosyl-dipeptides with a fragment of L-phenylalanine. In general, these new synthetic azaheterocyclic amino acids are excellent building blocks for peptide synthesis and wider synthetic manipulations for pharmaceutical use.
