| Popis: | The structure and stereochemistry of polyoximic acid, a degradation product of polyoxins, was originally designated as trans-3-ethylidene-L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid. However, total synthesis revealed that the correct structure was in fact cis-3-ethylidene-L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, which was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The synthesis of the trans-isomer was also done and its identity was confirmed by X-ray analysis as well. The key step for constructing the four-membered ring was a rhodium catalyzed carbenoid insertion into the NH bond of a beta-amino acid derivative. The stereoselectivity of the exo-double bond was controlled by conducting a Horner-Emmons-Wadsworth or a Wittig reaction to generate the trans- and cis-isomers, respectively. Weinreb's amide was used as a latent methyl group for the separation of trans and cis mixtures. The double bond stereochemistry of polyoximic acid in the parent polyoxin was also confirmed to be cis by extensive 2D NMR studies.Key words: diazoinsertion, azetidine, olefination. |
