Enantiopure antituberculosis candidates synthesized from (−)-fenchone
摘要:
The synthesis of new enantiopure N-acyl compounds derived from (-)-fenchone has been performed. The evaluation of their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv showed for most of them moderate activity. The structures bearing sulfonamide functionality have comparable activity to ethambutol and possess low cytotoxicity. (c) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles are readily synthesized by eliminating MgO from beta-hydroxynitriles. Deprotonating acyclic, and cyclic, beta-hydroxynitriles with excess MeMgCl smoothly generates dianion intermediates that eject MgO with concurrent formation of alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles. Alternatively, sequential addition of lithioacetonitrile and MgBr(2) to aldehydes and ketones generates magnesium
The addition of Me3SiCN and LICH2CN to (+)-camphor and (-)-fenchone. respectively, followed by reduction leads to chiral beta- and gamma -aminoalcohols. The enantioselectivities realized using these aminoalcohols as ligands in the addition of Et2Zn to benzaldehyde were lower than those obtained using the corresponding delta -aminoalcohols.
