The totalsynthesis of the proposedstructure of mycobactin J (MJ), a metabolite of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is presented. The highlights of the synthesis include a careful control of the Z-stereochemistry of the unsaturated long chain fatty acid, a biomimetic construction of the oxazoline building block and the carriage of an unprotected phenol throughout the synthesis.

Mycobactins facilitate assimilation of iron by mycobacteria. Synthetic analogs with structural variation of the cobactin component have potent anti-TB activity. A new method for the synthesis of cobactin analogs is presented. The key process involves single-step coupling reactions between an amine of a cyclic (l)-lysine derived hydroxamic acid with cyanide activated β-lactams.

Mycobactins are a family of iron sequestering agents (siderophores) biosynthesized as growth promoters by mycobacteria including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. They are important siderophores with high affinity and specificity for Fe(III) due to the chemical nature of their component chelating functional groups. The parent compounds and their synthetic analogues can be used for studies of natural iron uptake mechanisms. It was hypothesized by Snow and co-workers that alternate and modified mycobactin analogues might serve as antagonists of mycobacterial growth and be of important therapeutic value. Efficient syntheses of four different analogues are presented. Dramatic improvements on formation of amide and ester bonds were achieved using water soluble carbodiimide (EDC . HCl)-mediated couplings in the presence of 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) as an additive. Using HOAt over other traditional coupling additives provided significant enhancement of the reaction rate of the desired coupling reactions and minimized side reactions. Further simplifications were made possible by minimizing the use of protecting groups during the syntheses. In fact, coupling components in the presence of free hydroxamic acids and a free phenolic hydroxyl group proceeded in excellent yields. Biological studies indicated that the resulting synthetic analogues effect moderate to high inhibition of the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
