A unified strategy for an efficient and high diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of (-)-chloramphenicol, (-)-azidamphenicol, (+)-thiamphenicol, and (+)-florfenicol based on a key catalytic syn-selective Henry reaction is reported. The stereochemistry of the ligand-enabled copper(II)-catalyzed aryl aldehyde Henry reaction of nitroethanol was first explored to forge a challenging syn-2-amino-1,3-diol structure unit with vicinal stereocenters with excellent stereocontrol. Multistep continuous flow manipulations were carried out to achieve the efficient asymmetric synthesis of this family of amphenicol antibiotics.

We report the selective photoinduced reduction of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines. The present methodology facilitates this transformation in the absence of catalyst or additives and uses only light and methylhydrazine. This noncatalytic photoinduced transformation proceeds with a broad scope, excellent functional-group tolerance, and high yields. The potential of this protocol reflects on the selective and straightforward conversion of two general antibiotics, azomycin and chloramphenicol, to the bioactive hydroxylamine species.

, (2008/06/13)
Process of preparing thiamphenicol represented by formula [II] below which comprises:, a step of diazotizing the aromatic amino group of the compound represented by formula [I] below;, a step of subsequently reacting a methylthio metal salt with said diazonium compound to convert the amino group into a methylthio group; and, a combination of a step of dichloroacetylating the aliphatic amino group and a step of oxidizing the methylthio group.
