Abstract
A modular approach to the potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic amycolamicin and seven diastereomeric analogues is described. The synthesis features bioinspired construction of the high-carbon amycolose segment, gold(I)-catalyzed high-yielding O-glycosylation of the trans-decalin scaffold, N-glycosylation of the bromoacetylated l-valine derivative, and condition-tuned late-stage C-acylation of the tetramic acid motif. An assessment of the antibacterial properties of these synthetic molecules indicated that the correct stereochemistry is essential for the potent bioactivity of amycolamicin.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
