The base-promoted intramolecular cyclization of Ugi-azide adduct has been demonstrated for the synthesis of highly substituted aziridinyl glycoconjugates in one pot. The reactions are scalable and efficient and have an operationally simple broad substrate scope. To gain insight into the mechanism of aziridine formation, DFT and control experiments show that the cyclization of the aziridine glycoconjugate pathway was preferred, as it proceeds with a low activation energy barrier (0.57 kcal mol), which supports our experimental observation.

Aziridines are the smallest nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Strain-enhanced electrophilicity renders aziridines useful synthetic intermediates and gives rise to biological activity. Classical aziridine syntheses─based on either [2 + 1] cycloadditions or intramolecular substitution chemistry─assemble aziridines from acyclic precursors.

Background/aim: Current NPC treatment methods have improved the 5-year survival rates of patients; however, some patients do not benefit from the treatments. Therefore, the existing treatment methods or new drugs must be developed to improve the patient's prognosis. NAD (P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), an electron reductase highly expressed in various cancers, can convert aziridinyl-substituted quinone-derived compound into an alkylating agent, resulting in cell apoptosis.

We have prepared a ligand library based on a ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol core unit (simply called FAM) having a phenyl group, a cyclohexyl group, and a naphthyl group to be used in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions for the synthesis of chiral pyrrolidines. These chiral ligands were used with AgOAc in 1,3-DC reactions taking place between the aryl-substituted azomethine ylides and N-methylmaleimide as the dipolarophile. In each case, the expected aryl-substituted pyrrolidines were obtained in good to excellent yields with acceptable enantioselectivities favoring only the endo product.

N-sugar substituted chiral aziridines were synthesized via Gabriel-Cromwell reaction. Novel pure diastereomers of aziridine derivatives (4 diastereomers) were readily obtained in high yields and their structures were confirmed by means of H NMR, C NMR, FT-IR, Mass and optical rotations. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the unique example of N-sugar aziridine synthesis.

New derivatives of FAM (ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol) ligands NFAM1-4 (naphthyl ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol) and CFAM1-4 (cyclohexyl ferrocenyl aziridinyl methanol) were synthesized to form a small ligand library and used as chiral catalysts with AgOAc for the asymmetric synthesis of heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reaction of azomethine ylides. 2-Thienyl, 2-furyl, 2-, 3-, and 4-pyridyl aldimines were prepared and used with N-methylmaleimide, dimethyl maleate, tert-butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile to form the corresponding heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines. 1,3-DC reactions yielded the expected cycloadducts in up to 89% yield and up to 76% ee that could be increased up to 95% ee upon crystallization.
