γ-Keto thioesters were easily transformed into α,β-unsaturated lactams using a two-step process (via furans) or by a one-pot reaction. This methodology is general and efficient leading to a varied substitution pattern. The structures of all new heterocycles were assigned using 2D NMR experiments, computer-assisted elucidation, and X-ray diffraction analyses.
In this paper we report the synthesis and antimalarial properties of two series of fluoroalkylated γ-lactams derived from 4-aminoquinoline as potent chemotherapeutic agents for malaria treatment. These molecules obtained in several steps resulted in the identification of very potent structures with in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum clones of variable sensitivity (3D7 and W2) in the range
