Improved methods of convergent synthesis for peptidomimetic utilizing a chloroalkene dipeptide isostere (CADI) are reported. In this synthesis, Fmoc- or Boc-protected carboxylic acids can be produced from N- and C-terminal analogues corresponding to each amino acid starting material via an Evans syn aldol reaction, followed by a [3.3] sigmatropic rearrangement utilizing the Ichikawa allylcyanate rearrangement reaction. With this strategy, an Fmoc-protected CADI can be directly applied for solid-phase peptide synthesis. Using this approach, we have also identified the CADI-containing cyclo[-Lys-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-] peptidomimetic, which is a superior inhibitor of amyloid-β aggregation than the parent peptide.
