Pseudaminic acid (Pse) is a nonulosonic acid unique to bacterial species, found as a component of important cell surface glycans and glycoproteins in various pathogenic species, such as the critical hospital threat Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Herein we present the development of a facile and scalable de novo synthesis of Pse and its functionalized derivatives from easily available Cbz-l-allo-threonine methyl ester (16 steps in 11% yield). The key reactions in our de novo synthesis involve the diastereoselective glycine thioester isonitrile-based aldol-type reaction to create the 1,3-anti-diamino skeleton, followed by the Fukuyama reduction and the indium-mediated Barbier-type allylation. Moreover, we have studied the glycosylation of the Pse glycosyl donors and identified the structural determinants for its glycosylation diastereoselectivity, which enabled us to complete the total synthesis of P. aeruginosa 1244 pilin trisaccharide α-5NβOHC47NFmPse-(2→4)-β-Xyl-(1→3)-FucNAc.

Determining the absolute stereochemisty of small molecules bearing remote nonfunctionalizable stereocenters is a challenging task. Presented is a solution in which appropriately substituted bis(porphyrin) tweezers are used. Complexation of a suitably derivatized β-, γ-, or δ-chiral carboxylic acid to the tweezer induces a predictable helicity of the bis(porphyrin), which is detected as a bisignate Cotton Effect (ECCD). The sign of the ECCD curve is correlated with the absolute stereochemistry of the substrate based on the derived working mnemonics in a predictable manner.
Mechanistic studies of highly regioselective decarboxylative-prenyl migration reactions of prenyloxycarbonyl-diketo-dioxinones
