Abstract
Chiral oligomeric pentenoate amides are bio-oligomer mimetics possessing a high degree of conformation rigidity. Conformational rigidity is desirable in the design of molecules with high affinities for biological receptors and enzymes. Libraries of such oligomeric mimetics, such as of chiral oligomeric pentenoate amides can be used to probe biological systems. The present invention provides a method for preparation of chiral oligomeric pentanoate amides comprising conversion of a chiral oxazolidinone (4) to a chiral monomer of formula (1) which can be oligomerized to a chiral compound of formula (12) and so forth.
Claims3
A method of synthesizing a chiral monomer of formula (1)
- comprising:
- N-acylating a chiral oxazolidinone of formula (4)
- wherein Bn is benzyl, and the compound of formula (4) is a chiral form,
- by contacting (4) with propionic acid in the presence of ethyl chloroformate, N-methylmorpholine, and LiCl in THF, to provide a chiral N-acyloxazolidinone of formula (5)
- then, reacting the chiral N-acyloxazolidinone of formula (5) and an α-substituted, α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of formula (6)
- via a magnesium halide catalyzed stereoselective reaction comprising contacting (5) and (6) with MgBr2 and NaSbF6 in ethyl acetate, followed by trimethylsilylchloride to yield a chiral silylated allylic alcohol product of formula (7)
- wherein TMS is trimethylsilyl, then,
- reacting the chiral silylated allylic alcohol (7) with NbCl5 in dioxane solvent to yield a stereodefined allylic chloride of formula (8)
- by a stereoselective halogenation reaction that proceeds via stereoselective allylic transposition;
- then,
- hydrolyzing the oxazolidine group to produce a chiral monomer of formula (1)
A chiral oligomeric pentenoic amide of formula:
- wherein F5M is a Fluorescein-5-maleimide adduct.
