The preparation and N-deprotection of a series of phenylalanine-derived 2-azetidinones incorporating 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (Dmb), 2,3,4-, 2,4,6- and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl (Tmb) groups at 1 position are described. The base-promoted cyclization of the corresponding methoxy-substituted Nαbenzyl-Nα-chloroacetyl derivatives to the 1,4,4-trisubstituted azetidinones proceeded with moderate to good yields, except for the 2,4,6-Tmb analogue. In spite of the number and position of the OMe groups, N-unsubstituted β-lactams were obtained by oxidative debenzylation using potassium peroxodisulfate. Alternatively, debenzylation of Pmb, Dmb and Tmb 2-azetidinones with TFA/anisole resulted in concomitant β-lactam opening to α-benzylaspartic acid derivatives.

Several phenylalanine based inhibitors were synthesized as antagonists of the leukocyte cell adhesion process that is mediated through the interactions of the mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM) and the intgerin α4β7. Analogues 20, 21, 22 and 24 displayed inhibition of adhesion in a cell based assay in the low micromolar range. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
