Published: September 2011

A new procedure for the synthesis of macrocyclic embedded bis-α-amino acids and their use as cation-ligands is described. These compounds are able to form stable Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) complexes as long as they have a flexible tether between the two nitrogen atoms. For a given macrocycle, the X-ray diffraction studies revealed diastereomerically pure complexes having different geometries depending on the metal ion.

Many bacterial natural products contain C-branched sugars, including components from the outer cell wall or antibiotically active metabolites. The enzymatic C-branching of keto sugars leading to longer side chains (≥C) is catalyzed by thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzymes. Chiral tertiary α-hydroxy ketones are formed in this process.

Diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of 1'-C-branched N,O-nucleosides.

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids

December 2003

Dipartimento Scienze Chimiche, Università di Catania, Catania, Italy.

A synthetic approach towards 1'-C-branched N,O-nucleosides is reported, based on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of ethoxycarbonylnitrone. The asymmetric version of the process exploits the presence of a chiral auxiliary at the carbon atom of nitrone and leads to beta-D and beta-L nucleosides in good yields.
