New drugs to treat tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed to combat the increase in resistance observed among the current first-line and second-line treatments. Here, we propose ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) as a target for anti-TB drug discovery. Twenty-two analogues of IpOHA, an inhibitor of plant KARI, were evaluated as antimycobacterial agents. The strongest inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) KARI has a Ki value of 19.7 nM, fivefold more potent than IpOHA (Ki = 97.7 nM). This and four other potent analogues are slow- and tight-binding inhibitors of MtKARI. Three compounds were cocrystallized with Staphylococcus aureus KARI and yielded crystals that diffracted to 1.6-2.0 ? resolution. Prodrugs of these compounds possess antimycobacterial activity against H37Rv, a virulent strain of human TB, with the most active compound having an MIC90 of 2.32 ± 0.04 μM. This compound demonstrates a very favorable selectivity window and represents a highly promising lead as an anti-TB agent.
B(C6F5)3-catalyzed hydrogenation of oxime ethers without cleavage of the N-O bond

The hydrogenation of oximes and oxime ethers is usually hampered by N-O bond cleavage, hence affording amines rather than hydroxylamines. The boron Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 is found to catalyze the chemoselective hydrogenation

(Chemical Equation Presented) The stereochemical outcome observed upon alkylation of enolates derived from N-1-(1′-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert- butylhydroxamates (chiral Weinreb amide equivalents) may be rationalized by a chiral relay mechanism. Deprotonation withKHMDS leads to a nonchelated (Z)-enolate inwhich the oxygen atoms adopt an anti-periplanar conformation. The configuration of the N-1-(1′-naphthyl)ethyl group dictates the conformation of the O-tert-butyl group and the configuration adopted by the adjacent pyramidal nitrogen atom. Highly diastereoselective enolate alkylation then proceeds anti to both the bulky tert-butyl group (sterically driven) and the N-lone pair (stereoelectronically driven).
