The N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-alanine (Boc-L-Ala-OH) and benzotriazole-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) were purchased from Novabiochem, and the diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), isopropylamine and pivaloyl chloride (PivCl) from Aldrich. Dichloromethane (DCM) was dried overnight over CaCl2 then distilled on K2CO3 and stored away from bright light in a brown bottle. Dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) were purchased from Merck. Thin layer chromatography was performed on Merck precoated silica gel 60F254 plates and spots were visualized by staining with phosphomolybdic acid or ninhydrin. Flash chromatography was performed using Merck silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh). To prepare Boc-L-Ala-NHiPr, (I), Boc-L-Ala-OH (350 mg, 1.85 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (5 ml) then BOP (900 mg, 2.40 mmol), isopropylamine (170 µl, 2 mmol) and DIEA (785 µl, 4.62 mmol) were added. After 4 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue dissolved in EtOAc (15 ml). The organic phase was washed successively with aqueous 0.1 N KHSO4 (3 × 5 ml) and saturated NaHCO3 (3 × 5 ml), dried over MgSO4 and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel in EtOAc/hexane (6:4) to give 360 mg of (I) (85% yield) as an oil; Rf = 0.30 (EtOAc/hexane 6:4); Rf = 0.55 (EtOAc/hexane 7:3). To prepare Boc-L-Sip-L-Ala-NHiPr, (II), a solution of (I) (250 mg, 1.08 mmol) in DCM (3 ml) was stirred for 1 h at room temperature with TFA (3 ml). The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was coevaporated three times with hexane/Et2O 4:2 (10 ml) to remove excess TFA. The TFA salt (260 mg, 1.06 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (5 ml). DIEA (450 µl, 2.65 mmol), BOP (514 mg, 1.16 mmol) and Boc-L-Sip-OH (Vivet et al., 2000) (275 mg, 1.06 mmol) were then added. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue dissolved in EtOAc (15 ml). The organic phase was washed successively with aqueous 0.1 N KHSO4 (3 × 5 ml) and saturated NaHCO3 (3 × 5 ml), dried over MgSO4 and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel in EtOAc/hexane 6:4, to give 300 mg of (II) (76% yield) as an oil; Rf = 0.40 (EtOAc/hexane: 6/4). To prepare Piv-L-Sip-L-Ala-NHiPr, (III), a solution of (II) (250 mg, 0.67 mmol) in DCM (3 ml) was stirred for 1 h at room temperature with TFA (3 ml). The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was coevaporated three times with hexane/Et2O 4:2 (10 ml) to remove excess TFA. The TFA salt (240 mg, 0.62 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (5 ml). DIEA (210 µl, 1.24 mmol) and PivCl (85 µl, 0.68 mmol) were then added. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue dissolved in EtOAc (15 ml). The organic phase was washed successively with aqueous 0.1 N KHSO4 (3 × 5 ml) and saturated NaHCO3 (3 × 5 ml), dried over MgSO4 and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel in EtOAc/hexane 6:4, to give 154 mg of (III) (70% yield) as a solid; Rf = 0.50 (EtOAc/hexane 6:4). Single crystals of (III) were obtained at room temperature by slow evaporation of a solution in a mixture of diisopropyl ether and ethyl acetate.
The atom-numbering chosen for the independent molecules A and B is in the range 1–17 and 21–37, respectively. The absolute stereochemistry of the L-Sip derivative was confirmed on the basis of the L-Ala residue. The positions of H atoms attached to N were located from a difference map and refined with the N—H bond distance restrained to 1.03 (1) Å (Taylor & Kennard, 1983). H atoms connected to C were placed at calculated positions and refined using a riding model (C—H distance?). All H atoms had their isotropic displacement parameters fixed at 1.3 times that of the parent atom.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Proline analogues are of great interest due to the importance of such a residue in peptide reverse-turn structures. Recently, we reported the synthesis of 4-(dimethylsila)-L-proline or silaproline (Sip) in both optically pure forms (Vivet et al., 2000) by diastereoselective alkylation of a chiral glycine equivalent using Schöllkopf's bis-lactim ether method (Schöllkopf et al., 1981). These Si-containing proline analogues may also be useful as solubilizing building blocks, due to the high lipophilicity of silyl groups. This new proline surrogate has been introduced in model peptides in place of Pro to investigate the structural consequences of this modification. One of the targeted peptides, N-(3,3-dimethyl-1-pivaloyl-1-aza-3-sila-5-cyclopentylcarbonyl)-L-alanine isopropylamide, or Piv-L-Sip-L-Ala-NHiPr, (III), gave satisfactory single crystals for X-ray diffraction. We report here the first crystal molecular structure, to our knowledge, of a silaproline-containing peptide. \sch
The dimensions of both independent molecules, A and B, in the monoclinic unit cell of (III) are quite similar. As expected, the Si—C bonds in the five-membered ring of the silaproline are longer by about 0.55 Å than the C—C bonds in proline, and the intracyclic C—Si—C angle is significantly smaller (about 92°) than the homologous C—C—C angle in proline (Table 1; Aubry, Vitoux & Marraud, 1985). The five-membered ring of silaproline assumes a skew conformation of the Cβ-endo type (Nair & Vijayan, 1981), which is otherwise only found in the cis-proline residue involved in the 2,5-diketopiperazine ring (Aubry, Cung & Marraud, 1985).
Both independent molecules are folded by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amide on the terminal C and the pivaloyl O atom, which closes a ten-membered pseudocycle (Fig. 1). The orientation of the central amide group (Table 1) with reference to the average plane of the molecules is typical of a type II β-turn (Rose et al., 1985). Although this turn type is not frequently found for homochiral dipeptide sequences in solution, it is classically observed in the crystal structures of similar dipeptides due to favorable intermolecular packing forces involving the central amide NH and CO groups (Table 2; Aubry, Cung & Marraud, 1985). In solution, at very low concentration in order to avoid autoassociation, the folded structure turns into a type I β-turn, as already observed in L-Pro-L-Xaa sequences by Aubry, Cung & Marraud (1985).
The crystal structure of (III) is composed of layers containing molecules A and layers containing molecules B, both oriented parallel to (100) (Fig. 2). In each layer the molecules are stabilized by van der Waals interactions and the layers held together by NH···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Moreover, the independent molecules are connected by a non-crystallographic twofold screw axis which is in the crystallographic a direction and located at y = 0.26 (near 1/4) and z = 0.38 (near 3/8). The non-crystallographic operator, identified by the program BUNYIP (Hester & Hall, 1996), is (1/2 + x, 1/2 − y, 3/4 − z). Operation of the crystallographic twofold screw symmetry on the non-crystallographic twofold screw axis yields a second non-crystallographic twofold screw axis in the same direction and associated with the operator (1/2 + x, 1/2 − y, 1/4 − z). It is interesting to note that both non-crystallographic axes extend througout the crystal since their self operation yields (x, y, z). Combinations of the non- and the true crystallographic axes result in two more non-crystallographic twofold screw axes, which present the operators (1/2 − x, −y, 1/4 + z) and (1/2 − x, −y, 3/4 + z). These twofold screw axes do not extend througout the crystal because their self operation does not yield (x, y, z) or any other symmetry element.
