(Chemical Equation Presented) A small library of compounds with an oxa(thia)zole scaffold and structural diversity in both positions 2 and 5 has been synthesized. Double acylation of a protected glycine affords intermediate α-amido-β-ketoesters, which in turn can be dehydrated to afford 1,3-oxazoles or reacted with Lawesson's reagent to furnish 1,3-thiazoles. This procedure was designed with its adaptation to fluorous techniques in mind. Thus, when a protected glycine with a fluorous tag in the ester moiety is used as a starting material, the synthesis can be easily completed without column chromatography purification of intermediate compounds with good to excellent yields, thus affording a suitable entry to the preparation of small libraries of these bioactive compounds. The prepared oxa(thia)zoles were assayed for their antibacterial activity, and several of them were active against Staphylococcus aureus.

Gram-negative bacteria lacking heptoses in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) display attenuated virulence and increased sensitivity to human serum and to some antibiotics. Thus inhibition of bacterial heptose synthesis represents an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents. HldE is a bifunctional enzyme involved in the synthesis of bacterial heptoses. Development of a biochemical assay suitable for high-throughput screening allowed the discovery of inhibitors 1 and 2 of HldE kinase. Study of the structure-activity relationship of this series of inhibitors led to highly potent compounds.
