Synthesis of alpha-, beta- and cyclic spaglumic acids.

A short, one-pot synthesis of alpha- and beta-spaglumic acids (N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamic acids, NAAGA) has been developed based on ultrasound-promoted acetylation of aspartic acid, followed by dehydration, condensation with glutamic acid dibenzyl ester and hydrogenolysis. The alpha- and beta-peptides were separated by anion-exchange chromatography. The alpha-peptide shows a remarkable tendency to cyclize during methylation with diazomethane and yields cyclic N-acetylaspartylglutamic acid dimethyl ester, which could be hydrolysed to the hitherto unreported diketopiperazine dicarboxylic acid, cyclic spaglumic acid (cyclic NAAGA).
