Abstract
2-Amino-4-pyrrolidinothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid (4) (ATPC) is an unnatural amino acid with promise in applications as a building block for the synthesis of peptidomimetics. ATPC was obtained from both 3a and 3b thienopyrimidines by hydrolysis and hydrogenolysis, respectively. The synthesis of eleven ATPC-amino acids and two ATPC-peptides is described. ATPC is incorporated as N-terminal moiety in solution or solid-phase peptide synthesis using Boc or Fmoc methodology and without protection of the ATPC amino group.
