(Received 5 August 2004; accepted 11 August 2004; online 28 August 2004)

The title compound, C7H11N3O4, was prepared from L-rhamnose as a conformationally restricted dipeptide isostere containing an oxetane ring. Its crystal structure was determined to confirm the synthetic product.

Comment

Sugar amino acids (SAA) are an important class of peptidomimetics (Schweizer, 2002[Schweizer, F. (2002) Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 41, 230-253.]; Gruner et al., 2002[Gruner, S. A. W., Locardi, E., Lohof, E. & Kessler, H. (2002). Chem. Rev. 102, 491-514.]). In particular, D-amino acid scaffolds derived from pyran­oses (Kriek et al., 2003[Kriek, N. M. A. J., van der Hout, E., Kelly, P., van Meijgaarden, K. E., Geluk, A., Ottenhoff, T. H. M., van der Marel, G. A., Overhand, M., van Boom, J. H., Valentijn, A. R. P. M. & Overkleeft, H. S. (2003). Eur. J. Org. Chem. pp. 2418-2427.]; El Oualid et al., 2002[El Oualid, F., Bruining, L., Leroy, I. M., Cohen, L. H., van Boom, J. H., van der Marel, G. A., Overkleeft, H. S. & Overhand, M. (2002). Helv. Chim. Acta, 85, 3455-3472.]) and furan­oses (van Well et al., 2003[Well, R. M. van, Marinelli, L., Altona, C., Erkelens, K., Siegal, G., van Raaij, M., Llamas-Saiz, A. L., Kessler, H., Novellino, E., Lavecchia, A., van Boom, J. H. & Overhand, M. (2003). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 10822-10829.]; Chakraborty et al., 2002[Chakraborty, T. K., Ghosh, S. & Jayaprakash, S. (2002). Curr. Med. Chem. 9, 421-435.]) provide a well established series of conformationally fixed dipeptide isosteres. The azido ester described here, (I[link]), prepared from L-rhamnose, is among the first examples of building blocks for dipeptide isosteres which contain an oxetane ring; it may be viewed as a conformationally restricted dipeptide isostere of L-ala-D-ser, (II[link]).[link]

[Scheme 1]

Fig. 1[link] shows the asymmetric unit (I[link]). Its absolute structure (C4 R conformation, and C6 and C9 S conformation) was assumed based on the known absolute structure of the starting material.

The crystal packing for (I[link]) consists of slightly pleated ribbons of mol­ecules linked by weak hydrogen bonds, with the sheets stacked in van der Waals contact (Fig. 2[link]).

Experimental

Compound (I[link]) (Johnson et al., 2004[Johnson, S. W., Jenkinson, S. F., Angus, D., Jones, J. H., Watkin, D. J. & Fleet, G. W. J. (2004). Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 15. In the press.]) was recrystallized from chloro­form by solvent diffusion with hexane to give colourless plate-shaped crystals.

Because the intensity data were collected with molybdenum radiation, there were no measurable anomalous differences, as a consequence of which it was admissible to merge Freidel pairs of reflections. The absolute structure of (I) was assumed to correlate with the known absolute structure of the L-rhamnose starting material. All H atoms were found in difference-density syntheses. They were initially refined with soft restraints on the bonds to regularize their geometry (bond lengths to accepted values, angles either set by symmetry or to accepted values, and Uiso dependent upon the adjacent bonded atom), after which they were refined with riding constraints only.
