SYNTHESIS OF TRANS-TERT-BUTYL-2-AMINOCYCLOPENTYLCARBAMATE

摘要

The present invention concerns methods of synthesis of trans-tert-butyl-2-aminocylcopentylcarbamate comprising contacting 6-tosyl-6-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane with TMSN3 and TBAF to produce 2-azido-N-tosylcyclopentananiine; reducing the 2-azido-N-tosylcyclopentanamine to produce 2-amino-N-tosylcyclopentanamine; contacting the 2-amino-N-tosylcyclopentanamine with di-tert/-butyl dicarbonate to produce tert-butyl-2-(tosylamino)cyclopentylcarbamate; and detosylation of tert-butyl O(tosylamino) cyclopentylcarbamate to produce trans-tert-butyl-2-aminocyclopentylcarbamate. The invention also concerns PNAs comprising residues of the monomers of the invention in the backbone and uses of such PNAs. The PNAs of the invention can be used to detect DNAs of infectious agents or to suppress expression of protein associated with cancer.
