The development of a flexible, component-based synthetic route to the aminosugar fragment of the lincosamide antibiotics is described. This synthetic route hinges on the application and extension of nitroaldol chemistry to forge strategic bonds within complex aminosugar targets, and employs a glycal epoxide as a versatile glycosyl donor for the installation of various anomeric groups. Through building-block exchange and late-stage functionalization, this route affords access to a host of rationally designed lincosamides otherwise inaccessible by semisynthesis, and underpins a platform for the discovery of new lincosamide antibiotics.

A building block approach was used to design a modular synthetic route for the preparation of novel glycerolipids with phenolic and polyphenolic headgroups. Based on this scheme, it is possible to vary the substitution pattern of the headgroup, the stereochemistry of the backbone, and the length of the sidechains. Five glycerolipids with different headgroups and identical backbone stereochemistry and chain length have been prepared.Key words: glycerolipid, polyphenol, hydrogen bonding, lipid-protein interaction, self-adhering.

A procedure which allows labelling cyclic carbamates with all carbon isotopes has been developed. This protocol valorizes carbon dioxide, the universal building block for radiolabeling. A series of pharmaceuticals were obtained and a disconnection/reconnection strategy was implemented.

AbstractThe enantioselective total synthesis of the alkaloid aristoquinoline has been achieved in seven steps and 26% overall yield. A new preparation of the useful synthetic building block (–)-α-terpinyl amine was also developed in order to avoid stoichiometric mercury reagents or azide-containing intermediates. Key steps in the optimized synthetic route include an intramolecular nitrilium ion cyclization to form the characteristic azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ring system and a dia­stereoselective reduction of the resulting imine mixture to afford the natural product. An isomer of aristoquinoline containing an exocyclic alkene was also obtained and found to exhibit unusual chromatographic and spectroscopic properties.

Chemistry has always had as a target the conversion of molecules into valuable materials. Nevertheless, the aim of past synthesis has primarily focused on achieving a given transformation, regardless of the environmental impact of the synthetic route. Given the current global situation, the demand for sustainable alternatives has substantially increased. Our group focuses on developing selective chemical transformations that benefit from mild conditions, improved atom economy, and that can make use of renewable feedstocks as starting materials. This account summarizes our work over the past two decades specifically regarding the selective removal, conversion, and addition of functional groups that can, later on, be applied at a late stage for the modification of complex molecules.

An improved synthetic route to α(1→3)/α(1→2)-linked mannooligosaccharides has been developed and applied to a more efficient preparation of the potent anti-angiogenic sulfated pentasaccharide, benzyl Manα(1→3)-Manα(1→3)-Manα(1→3)-Manα(1→2)-Man hexadecasulfate, using only two monosaccharide building blocks. Of particular note are improvements in the preparation of both building blocks and a simpler, final deprotection strategy. The route also provides common intermediates for the introduction of aglycones other than benzyl, either at the building block stage or after oligosaccharide assembly. The anti-angiogenic activity of the synthesized target compound was confirmed via the rat aortic assay.

A total synthesis of γ-lycorane has been achieved by employing N-tosylpyrrole as a key building block. The synthesis employs both an intermolecular and an intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction, as well as a completely diastereoselective hydrogenation of a late-stage pyrrole intermediate.

Vaccines againstS. pneumoniae, one of the most prevalent bacterial infections causing severe disease, rely on isolated capsular polysaccharide (CPS) that are conjugated to proteins. Such isolates contain a heterogeneous oligosaccharide mixture of different chain lengths and frame shifts. Access to defined syntheticS. pneumoniaeCPS structures is desirable. Known syntheses ofS. pneumoniaeserotype 3 CPS rely on a time-consuming and low-yielding late-stage oxidation step, or use disaccharide building blocks which limits variability. Herein, we report the first iterative automated glycan assembly (AGA) of a conjugation-readyS. pneumoniaeserotype 3 CPS trisaccharide. This oligosaccharide was assembled using a novel glucuronic acid building block to circumvent the need for a late-stage oxidation. The introduction of a washing step with the activator prior to each glycosylation cycle greatly increased the yields by neutralizing any residual base from deprotection steps in the synthetic cycle. This process improvement is applicable to AGA of many other oligosaccharides.
