Scalable Synthesis of Orthogonally Protected ?-Methyllanthionines by Indium(III)-Mediated Ring Opening of Aziridines.


ABSTRACT: Lantibiotics are a class of peptide antibiotics with activity against most Gram-positive bacteria. Lanthionine (Lan) and ?-MeLan are unusual thioether-bridged, non-proteinogenic amino acids, which are characteristic features of lantibiotics. In this paper, we report the facile stereoselective synthesis of ?-methyllanthionines with orthogonal protection by nucleophilic ring opening of aziridines. This method leads to an expedient access to ?-methyllanthionines and allows production of over 30 g of ?-methyllanthionine in a single batch.
