Silanols are best known as unstable precursors of siloxane (silicone) polymers, substances generally considered stable and inert, but have the potential to mimic a hydrated carbonyl and inhibit protease enzymes. While previous testing of simple silanediol and silanetriol compounds as inhibitors of hydrolase enzymes found them ineffective, this study reports the synthesis of peptidomimetics containing a central methylsilanol, -Si(Me)(OH)-, or silanediol, -Si(OH)2-, group and their assessment as effective transition state analog inhibitors of metalloprotease angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Central to the synthesis strategy, phenylsilanes were employed as acid-hydrolyzable precursors of the silanol group. The N-benzoyl Leu-[SiMeOH]-Gly benzyl amides, PhCONHCH(iso-Bu)Si(Me)(OH)CH2CH2CONHBn, proved to be stable and readily characterized. In contrast, the Leu-[Si(OH)2]-Gly, PhCONHCH(iso-Bu)Si(OH)2CH2CH2CONHBn, structure was difficult to characterize, possibly because of self-association Capping the silanediol with chlorotrimethylsilane gave a well-defined trisiloxane, demonstrating that the silanediol was monomeric. The Leu-[Si]-Gly structures were converted to Leu-[Si]-Ala analogs by enolate alkylation. Coupling of the silanol precursors with
