Enantiomerically Enriched Bicyclic Hydroxamic Acids in One Step from α-Aminohydroxamic Acids and Keto Acids via Cyclocondensation
摘要:
New enantiomerically enriched bicyclic hydroxamic acids, 1-hydroxy-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones, have been synthesized by the cyclocondensation of L--aminohydroxamic acids with keto acids in a highly chemo- and stereoselective manner. The cis configuration between the amino acid side chain and the methyl group at C7a in 1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5-dione was unambiguously established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. This method could also be applied to the cyclocondensation with o-formylbenzoic acid, giving a tricyclic hydroxamic acid in a good yield. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
