Reduction of N-protected aza-β3-amino esters and oxidation of the alcohols afford aza-β3-amino aldehydes. Condensation of unprotected aza-β3-amino esters to the resultant aldehydes leads to hydrazones, which have been conv

Negamycin 1 is a bactericidal antibiotic with activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and served as a template in an antibiotic discovery program. An orthogonally protected β-amino acid derivative 3a was synthesized and used in parallel synthesis of negamycin derivatives on solid support. This advanced intermediate was also used for N- and C-terminal modifications using solution-phase methodologies. The N-terminal modifications have resulted in the identification of active analogues, whereas the C-terminal modifications resulted in complete loss of antibacterial activity. The N-methyl negamycin analogue, 19a, inhibits protein synthesis (IC50=2.3 μM), has antibacterial activity (Escherichia coli, MIC=16 μg/mL), and is efficacious in an E. coli murine septicemia model (ED50=16.3 mg/kg).

(+)-Negamycin and (-)-5-epi-negamycin were synthesized by a process involving the palladium(II)-assisted alkylation of an optically active ene carbamate followed by carbonylative coupling to a trialkylvinyltin.The synthesis of (+)-negamycin was completed in 15 steps with an overall yield of 13percent.The synthesis of (-)-5-epi-negamycin was completed in 12 steps with an overall yield of 20percent.In preparing these compounds, a highly diastereoselective reduction of an unsaturated ketone and an efficient intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction were also carried out.
