Cyclodimerization by ring-closing metathesis: synthesis, computational, and biological evaluation of novel bis-azetidinyl-macrocycles

چکیده
During our research on novel, non-traditional, bicyclic b-lactams as potential inhibitors of Penicillin Binding Proteins (PBPs), we focused on the synthesis of 1,3-bridged 2-azetidinones by RCM reaction from 1,3-bis-u-alkenoyl-3(S)-amino-2-azetidinone precursors. Submitting the precursors to RCM, we faced an unexpected problem: cyclodimerization was the preferred outcome. This peculiar reactivity, explained by a computational study, led to unprecedented bis-azetidinyl-macrocycles acting as potent inhibitors of R39 D,D-carboxypeptidase, a bacterial model enzyme for PBPs. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A short route for the synthesis of "sweet" macrocycles via a click-dimerization-ring-closing metathesis approach.
A facile and flexible approach for the preparation of macrocyclic molecules containing different carbohydrate moieties is presented, employing the reaction cascade: click-dimerization and ring-closing metathesis.
متن کاملSynthesis by Ring-Closing Metathesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Novel Thienylmacrolactones
This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of macrolactones containing a thienyl substituent as simple analogues of epothilones. The compounds were prepared in a brief and efficient manner from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde using a ring-closing metathesis with Grubbs I or Grubbs II catalyst as the key step. The target lactones showed only insignificant cytotoxicity, while an interm...
متن کاملDesign and synthesis of novel bis-annulated caged polycycles via ring-closing metathesis: pushpakenediol
Intricate caged molecular frameworks are assembled by an atom economical process via a Diels-Alder (DA) reaction, a Claisen rearrangement, a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and an alkenyl Grignard addition. The introduction of olefinic moieties in the pentacycloundecane (PCUD) framework at appropriate positions followed by RCM led to the formation of novel heptacyclic cage systems.
متن کاملStereoselective access to Z and E macrocycles by ruthenium-catalyzed Z-selective ring-closing metathesis and ethenolysis.
The first report of Z-selective macrocyclizations using a ruthenium-based metathesis catalyst is described. The selectivity for Z macrocycles is consistently high for a diverse set of substrates with a variety of functional groups and ring sizes. The same catalyst was also employed for the Z-selective ethenolysis of a mixture of E and Z macrocycles, providing the pure E isomer. Notably, an ethy...
متن کاملSynthesis of spirocyclic thiazolidinediones using ring-closing metathesis and one-pot sequential ring-closing/cross metathesis.
A novel synthetic route to spirocyclic thiazolidinediones is reported by utilizing ring-closing metathesis (RCM). A selective cross metathesis (CM) of N-allyl azaspiro derivatives with different olefins has been demonstrated to prepare substituted azaspiro-[4.4]nonenediones. The X-ray crystal structure of a spirocyclic thiazolidinedione dimer is described, which has been prepared in two steps f...
