bs t r ac t : A general methodology for the total synthesis of N- alkyl- and acylpolyamine derivatives
is described which is based on the coupling of suitable N -trit ylami no acids with amines followed by
lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the thus obtained amides.
Polyam ines, such as sperm ine (1) and s permidin e (2), are intere sting natural products which are
involved in a variety of very import ant biological functions.2 Moreover, polyamine surrogates with
amin o acids such as tyros ine3 or arginine,4 isolated from spiders, exhibit potent inhibitionof mammalian
neu rot rans mitt er receptors . Various synthetic protocols have been devised which allow the preparation
of polyamine analogs selectivily modified at their amino functions. These protocols involve either the
selective protection of the amino functions of polyamines with groups such as me thylene, tosyl (Ts), tert-
butoxy carbon yl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) and phthalyl (Phth),5 and most recently metal cations6
and the 4-azidobenzyloxcarbonylgroup, 7 or the assembly of th e polyamine sceleton from suitably
protected amino comp onents using reactions such as the reductive alkylation,8 the Michael addition on
acrylonitrile,2,9 acylation followed by lithium aluminium hydride (I.AH) reduction, l and the alkylation of
sulfonylamides 1 or mor e recently triflyl amides using the Mitsunobu reaction. 12 We now wish to repo rt
our preliminary results o n the developme nt of a general me thodology which allows easy access to
mon o- and di-N- alkyl- and acylated sper mine derivatives using readily available N-tritylamino acids as
building blocks.
Key-featu res in our approach are (a) the use of the bulky triphenym ethyl (trityl, Trt) group and the
readily remove d by hydrogenolysis benzyl group for blocking the desired am ino functions and (b) the
l.AH-mediated reduct ion of amides, derived from the con densa tion of suitable N-tritylamino acids with a
series of amines . The Trt gro up was chosen for N-protection because it is compatible with complex metal
