- Chiral 4,5-Disubstituted Oxazolidin-2-ones: Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Hydroxy-α-amino Acids
-
The stereocontrolled synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids from O-benzyl D- and L-serine, by the use of 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidin-2-ones as chiral intermediates, is presented as a suitable alternative to the known procedures.The reported synthesis of both enantiomers of threo-3-hydroxyglutamic acid and (2S,3R)-3-hydroxyproline together with a flexible and stereodivergent preparation of threonine analogues is discussed as an example of the versatility of the present approach.

- A straightforward synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-hydroxyproline and trans-(2R,3S)-2-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine
-
A stereocontrolled synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-hydroxyproline 1, and trans-(2R,3S)-2-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine 2 has been achieved in 21% and 38% yield via the homochiral 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidin-2-one 3. The trans relationship in 2 has been introduced by a modified Mitsunobu reaction.

- Structure-activity relationships of HIV-1 PR inhibitors containing AHPBA - II. Modification of pyrrolidine ring at P1' proline
-
Systematic replacement in the 3- or 4-position of the pyrrolidine ring at P1' proline was carried out. Compound 26, which has a Cl atom in the 4(S)-position was the most active among inhibitors substituted with other halogen atoms or other substituents. Furthermore, the replacement of the Z group in compound 26 with five- or six-membered fused aromatic heterocycle carbonyl groups produced more potent inhibitors. 7-Methoxybenzofuran-2-carbonyl derivative (44) was the best of these and showed K(i) = 4.5 nM against HIV PR and IC90s 0.58 μM and 0.06 μM in chronic and acute infections, respectively. These results suggest that the combination of the 4(S)-Cl atom and fused bicyclic heterocycles may be effective in improving their cellular penetration.
