Preparation of dicarboxylate analogues of Cerulenin
Moseley, Jonathan D.,Staunton, James
, p. 819 - 830 (2007/10/03)
We have proposed and synthesized several new structural classes of Cerulenin analogues, which have potential as inhibitors of both fatty acid and polyketide synthase multi-enzyme complexes. These analogues contain cis epoxides bearing flanking carboxylate groups. Our syntheses have been designed to allow access to a wide range of fatty acid and polyketide-like side chains from readily available starting materials in convergent fashion in just four to five steps. In total, ～40 potential analogues have been prepared and characterized, covering all the structural sub-classes proposed, the majority of which constitute novel functional groupings.

A compound of the general formula: STR1 wherein R 1 represents a carboxyl group which may optionally be esterified or amidated; R 2 represents a cyclic group which may optionally be substituted or a polar group; n is an integer of 0 to 6; R 3 represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon residue which may optionally be substituted; R 4 represents (1) a hydrocarbon residue which is substituted by an optionally protected amino group or (2) an alkenyl group; or R 3 and R 4 may be combined with the adjacent nitrogen atom to form a heterocyclic group containing at least two hetero atoms, or a salt thereof.The compound or a salt thereof of the present invention inhibits thiol proteases such as cathepsin L and B and serves well as a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

The synthesis of the novel (3R,4R)-4-acetoxy-3[(1S)-1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-1-((1S)-1-ph nylethylaminocarbonyl)]azetidin-2-one, a valuable key intermediate for penems and carbapenems bearing a 6-hydroxyacetamide side chain, and its diastereomer 1b
A stereocontrolled approach to electrophilic epoxides
Meth-Cohn, Otto,Moore, Clive,Taljaard, Heinrich C.
, p. 2663 - 2674 (2007/10/02)
Lithium t-butyl hydroperoxide (easily generated by addition of an alkyl-lithium to anhydrous t-butyl hydroperoxide in THF solution) is a powerful reagent for the epoxidation of electrophilic alkenes at -20 to 0 °C under full stereocontrol. Thus αβ-unsaturated esters, sulphones, sulphoximines, and amides are readily epoxidised with complete regio- and stereo-specificity and with considerable chiroselectivity (20-100%) when appropriate chiral auxiliaries such as menthyl, 8-phenylmenthyl, or a camphor-sulphonamide derivative are used. Asymmetric αβ-unsaturated sulphoximines undergo epoxidation with 100% diastereoselectivity. The only exceptions to stereocontrol noted are heavily substituted maleate esters such as di-t-butyl maleate. The αβ-epoxy amides are shown to be valuable sources of the corresponding epoxy ketones by treatment with an organolithium, allowing a stereo- and chemoselective entry in high yield to these useful intermediates.
