An improved method for the preparation of a series of oxazole-containing dual PPARalpha/gamma agonists is described. A synthetic sequence utilizing a Dakin-West reaction was devised that allows for the introduction of the oxazole ring either late in the synthetic sequence via aminomalonate-derived chemistry or in pivotal SAR intermediates derived from aspartic acid.

1,3-diaryl-2-propanone derivatives are synthetic compounds used as building blocks for the realization not only of antimicrobial drugs but also of new nanomaterials thanks to their ability to self-assemble in solution and interact with nucleopeptides. However, their ability to interact with proteins is a scarcely investigated theme considering the therapeutic importance that 1,3-diaryl-2-propanones could have in the modulation of protein-driven processes. Within this scope, we investigated the protein binding ability of 1,3-bis(1'-uracilyl)-2-propanone, which was previously synthesized in our laboratory utilizing a Dakin-West reaction and herein indicated as U2O, using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the model protein.

Pyrazines are an underreported class of N-heterocycles available from nitrogen-rich biomass presenting an interesting functional alternative for current aromatics. In this work, access to pyrazines obtained from amino acids by using the 90 year old Dakin-West reaction was explored. After a qualitative screening several functional proteinogenic amino acids proved good substrates for this reaction, which were successfully scaled to multigram scale synthesis of the corresponding intermediate α-acetamido ketones.

Background: The well-known antibacterial agent Triclosan (TCL) that targets bacterial enoylacyl protein reductase has been described to inhibit human fatty acid synthase (FASN) via the enoylacyl reductase domain. A Literature survey indicates that TCL is selectively toxic to cancer cells and furthermore might indeed reduce cancer incidence in vivo. A recent study found that TCL inhibits FASN by acting as an allosteric protein-protein interface (PPI) inhibitor.

Development of a scalable synthesis of an oxazine class of β-secretase inhibitor is described. Trifluoromethylated acyloin synthesis by the reaction of a mandelic acid with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine (Dakin-West reaction) was used as an efficient strategy to install the key trifluoromethyl substituent on the oxazine ring. Diastereoselective addition of methyl magnesium bromide to a cyclic sulfamidate imine and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate catalyzed intramolecular amidine formation to yield oxazine-3-amine are some of the significant, novel synthetic methods developed in this synthesis.

A robust approach allowing for the efficient trifluoroacetylation of a series of highly substituted pyrrolidines in a diastereoselective manner is reported. The transformation is based on a Dakin-West reaction of advanced pyrrolidine 2-carboxylic acid derivatives that can be assembled stereoselectively in four synthetic steps. Importantly, this work demonstrates how the introduction of lateral substituents on the pyrrolidine scaffold enables the generation of the desired trifluoroacetylation products, which was not possible previously due to the exclusive formation of trifluoromethylated oxazoles (vide infra).
