Catalytic Aerobic Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of Azlactones en Route to α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids

We developed a catalytic aerobic method to synthesize α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids through cross-dehydrogenative coupling of azlactones. Combining an iron catalyst with a bisoxazolidine ligand resulted in high catalytic performance, and cross-coupling with an indole proceeded smoothly under aerobic conditions. A wide variety of α-aryl and aliphatic amino acid derived azlactones were applied to the present catalysis. In addition, a quaternary carbon could be constructed using oxindole and benzofuranone under aerobic conditions.

Regiodivergent Enantioselective γ-Additions of Oxazolones to 2,3-Butadienoates Catalyzed by Phosphines: Synthesis of α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids and N,O-Acetal Derivatives

Phosphine-catalyzed regiodivergent enantioselective C-2- and C-4-selective γ-additions of oxazolones to 2,3-butadienoates have been developed. The C-4-selective γ-addition of oxazolones occurred in a highly enantioselective manner when 2-aryl-4-alkyloxazol-5-(4H)-ones were employed as pronucleophiles. With the employment of 2-alkyl-4-aryloxazol-5-(4H)-ones as the donor, C-2-selective γ-addition of oxazolones took place in a highly enantioselective manner. The C-4-selective adducts provided rapid access to optically enriched α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives, and the C-2-selective products led to facile synthesis of chiral N,O-acetals and γ-lactols. Theoretical studies via DFT calculations suggested that the origin of the observed regioselectivity was due to the distortion energy that resulted from the interaction between the nucleophilic oxazolide and the electrophilic phosphonium intermediate.

Synthesis of di- and tri-substituted imidazole-4-carboxylates via PBu3-mediated [3+2] cycloaddition

Some new di- and trisubstituted imidazole-4-carboxylates were prepared from amidoacetic acids 3 in the present report. The key step to establish such imidazole- 4-carboxylates stemmed from the PBu3-mediated [3+2] cycloaddition between in situ-generated Δ2-oxazolinone 4 and ethyl cyanoformate6. Our results indicated that trisubstituted imidazoles 7-20 were afforded in better yields than those of disubstituted imidazoles 21-27. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

Bispalladacycle-catalyzed Michael addition of in situ formed azlactones to enones

The development and further evolution of the first catalytic asymmetric conjugate additions of azlactones as activated amino acid derivatives to enones is described. Whereas the first-generation approach started from isolated azlactones, in the second-generation approach the azlactones could be generated in situ starting from racemic N-benzoylated amino acids. The third evolution stage could make use of racemic unprotected α-amino acids to directly form highly enantioenriched and diastereomerically pure masked quaternary amino acid products bearing an additional tertiary stereocenter. The step-economic transformations were accomplished by cooperative activation by using a robust planar chiral bis-Pd catalyst, a Br?nsted acid (HOAc or BzOH; Ac=acetyl, Bz=benzoyl), and a Br?nsted base (NaOAc). In particular the second- and third-generation approaches provide a rapid and divergent access to biologically interesting unnatural quaternary amino acid derivatives from inexpensive bulk chemicals. In that way highly enantioenriched acyclic α-amino acids, α-alkyl proline, and α-alkyl pyroglutamic acid derivatives could be prepared in diastereomerically pure form. In addition, a unique way is presented to prepare diastereomerically pure bicyclic dipeptides in just two steps from unprotected tertiary α-amino acids. Flourishing step economy: The evolution of the catalytic asymmetric addition of azlactones to enones is described. The first-generation approach started from isolated azlactones. In the second-generation approach azlactones could be generated in situ from racemic N-benzoylated amino acids. The third evolution stage could directly use racemic unprotected α-amino acids to form a large number of highly enantioenriched quaternary amino acids derivatives (see figure). Copyright

Probing the efficiency of N-heterocyclic carbene promoted O- to C-carboxyl transfer of oxazolyl carbonates

(Chemical Equation Presented) Screening of a range of azolium salts, bases and solvents for reactivity indicates that triazolinylidenes, generated in situ with KHMDS in THF, promote the Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonates with high catalytic efficiency (typical reaction time 5 min at 1.5 mol % NHC). This protocol shows wide substrate applicability, even allowing the efficient generation of vicinal quaternary centers. An improved experimental procedure is also described that allows a simplified one-pot reaction protocol to be employed with similarly high catalytic efficiency.

Synthesis and in Vitro Aldolase Reductase Inhibitory Activity of Compounds Containing an N-Acylglycine Moiety

A number of N-benzoylglycines (6), N-acetyl-N-phenylglycines (7), N-benzoyl-N-phenylglycines (8), and tricyclic N-acetic acids (9-12) were synthesized as analogues of the N-acylglycine-containing aldolase reductase inhibitors alrestatin and 2-oxoquinoline-1-acetic acid.Derivatives of 6, which represent ring-simplified analogues of alrestatin, are very weak inhibitors of aldolase reductase obtained from rat lens, producing 50percent inhibition only at concentrations exceeding 100 μM.Compounds of series 7 were designed as ring-opened analogues of the 2-oxoquinolines.While this derivatives are more potent than compounds of series 6 (IC 50s of 6-80 μM), they are less active than the corresponding 2-oxoquinolines.Analogues of series 8 were designed as hybrid structures of both alrestatin and the 2-oxoquinoline-1-acetic acids.These compounds are substantially more potent than compounds of series 6 and 7 and display inhibitory activities comparable to or greater than alrestatin or the 2-oxoquinolines (IC 50s of 0.1-10 μM).Of the rigid analogues of 8, the most potent derivative is benzoxindol (12) with an IC 50 of 0.67 μM, suggesting that fusion of the two aromatic rings of 8 in a coplanar conformation may optimize affinity for aldose reductase in this series.

Composition containing a penem or carbapenem antibiotic and the use of the same

Administration of an N-acylated amino acid in association with a penem or carbapenem antibiotic relieves or eliminates the renal problems associated with administration of the antibiotic alone. The amino acid derivative and antibiotic may be formulated together as a composition or administered separately, either simultaneously or sequentially.

1-Azadienes in Heterocyclic Synthesis. Reaction of 1-N-Alkyl-1-azapenta-1,3-dienes with Mesoionic Oxazolones

1-N-Alkyl-1-azapenta-1,3-dienes 2 smoothly reacted with various mesoionic oxazolones 1 to afford 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones 3 in excellent yields and there is no evidence for the formation of any products arising from the cycloaddition on the carbon-carbon double bond or on the azomethine function.
