Starting from simple carboxylic acid building blocks, this modular sequence exploits the residual directing group to access more than 50 scaffolds that would be otherwise extremely difficult to prepare. The tactical use of these two transformations accomplishes a formal vicinal difunctionalization of carbon centers in a way that is modular and thus amenable to rapid diversity incorporation. A simplification of routes to known preclinical drug candidates is presented along with the rapid diversification of an antimalarial compound series. Introduction block like 3-(3-bromophenyl) propanoic acid (4) could be It is becoming increasingly clear that practitioners are no longer employed as its precursor (Figure 1b). Within the privileged bound by notion that the pervasive C–H bond is unresponsive realm of saturated cyclic heterocycles, such logic could be to manipulation.

    Issue in Honor of Prof. Alain Krief ARKIVOC 2007 (x) 71-93 A straightforward synthesis of 3-substituted azetidinic amino acids Mangaleswaran Sivaprakasham,a François Couty,a,* Gwilherm Evano,a B. Srinivas,b R. Sridhar,b and K. Rama Raob a Institut Lavoisier, UMR 8180, Université de Versailles, 45, avenue des Etats-Unis, 78035, Versailles Cedex, France b Organic Chemistry Division-I, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad-500 007, India E-Mail: [email protected] Dedicated to Professor A. Krief on the occasion of his 65th anniversary Abstract A series of enantiomerically pure N,N-disubstituted β-amino alcohols were chlorinated by treatment with thionyl chloride. This reaction afforded a mixture of regioisomeric β-amino chlorides that could be equilibrated to the more stable regioisomer by heating in DMF. The secondary chlorides thus obtained were engaged in an intramolecular anionic ring-closure to give access to fully protected enantio- and diastereoisomerically pure 2,3-cis-disubstituted azetidinic amino acid. One of the latter was deprotected for inclusion in a tripeptide sequence. This synthetic methodology was applied for N,N-disubstituted γ-amino alcohols, leading to 3- or 5- substituted proline derivatives but with a low 2,3- or 2,5- diastereoselectivity. Keywords: Azetidines, amino-acids, amino-alcohols Introduction Conformationally constrained amino acids have been the subject of growing interests within past years in peptide chemistry. These modified amino acids can be used as tools for the modification of the secondary
