Cyclic hydroxamic acids can undergo a thermal ring contraction after an in situ triflation. High yields of ring-contraction products are obtained with DBU when the migrating carbon is a methylene, while best results are obtained with Et(3)N for the migration of quaternary carbons. In some cases, the regiochemical outcome of the reaction can be controlled by changing the base. This novel thermal rearrangement complements a similar but photochemical rearrangement of N-mesyloxylactams.

Total Synthesis of Talarolide A and -Talarolide A: Hydroxamate H-Bond Bridge Stabilization of Cyclic Peptide Conformers Invokes Non-Canonical Atropisomerism.

The first total synthesis of the Australian marine tunicate fungus-derived cyclic peptide talarolide A () has confirmed the structure previously proposed on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical analyses and re-affirmed the importance of the unique hydroxamate H-bond bridge in ring conformer stabilization. The unexpected co-synthesis of -talarolide A () revealed, for the first time, that hydroxamate H-bond bridging in the talarolide framework invokes non-canonical atropisomerism and that talarolides A (), C (), and D () all exist naturally as atropisomers. These discoveries raise the intriguing prospect that comparable functionalisation of other cyclic peptides, including those with commercial value, could provide ready access to new "unnatural atropisomeric" chemical space, with new and/or improved chemical and biological properties.

Bifunctional thiourea-based organocatalysts facilitate an enantioselective desymmetrization and Lossen rearrangement cascade reaction of -sulfoxy -succinimides, resulting in the synthesis of cyclic β-amino acid derivatives. This catalytic system was optimized for bicyclic and tricyclic succinimide substrates affording yields from 61-91% and up to 96:4 er. This reaction proceeds via the group selective addition of the primary alcohol nucleophile to an enantiotopic carbonyl group with sequential rearrangement of the intermediate -sulfonyl hydroxamate ester.

The electrochemical reduction of nitroarenes allows direct access to manifold nitrogen containing heterocycles. This work reports the simple and direct electro-organic synthesis of 18 different examples of 2,4-4-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones in up to 81% yield. The scalability of the method was demonstrated on a gram-scale.

The clinical use of many potent anticancer agents is limited by their non-selective toxicity to healthy tissue. One of these examples is vorinostat (SAHA), a pan histone deacetylase inhibitor, which shows high cytotoxicity with limited discrimination for cancerous over healthy cells. In an attempt to improve tumor selectivity, we exploited the properties of cobalt(III) as a redox-active metal center through stabilization with cyclen and cyclam tetraazamacrocycles, masking the anticancer activity of SAHA and other hydroxamic acid derivatives to allow for the complex to reach the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor.

Zr-immunoPET is a hot topic as Zr cumulates the advantages of Cu and I without their drawbacks. We report the synthesis of a model ligand of a chiral bioconjugable tetrahydroxamic chelator combining the desferriferrioxamine B siderophore and 1-hydroxy-2-piperidone ((PIPO)H), a chiral cyclic hydroxamic acid derivative, and the study by NMR spectroscopy of its zirconium complex. Nuclear Overhauser effect measurements (ROESY) indicated that the complex exists in the form of two diastereomers, in 77 : 23 ratio, resulting from the combination of the central chiralities at the 3-C of the (PIPO)H component and at the Zr cation.
