One-pot multistep Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation reactions: synthesis of dimethyl sulfomycinamate.

[reaction: see text] The synthesis of dimethyl sulfomycinamate, the acidic methanolysis product of the sulfomycin family of thiopeptide antibiotics, from methyl 2-oxo-4-(trimethylsilyl)but-3-ynoate is achieved in a 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridine synthesis that proceeds with total regiocontrol in 13 steps by the Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation of a 1-(oxazol-4-yl)enamine or in 12 steps and 9% yield by three-component cyclocondensation with N-[3-oxo-3-(oxazol-4-yl)propanoyl]serine and ammonia in ethanol.

First synthesis of an amythiamicin pyridine cluster.

The pyridine-containing central domain of the amythiamicin group of thiopeptide antibiotics is prepared in protected form in 9 steps, 93%ee and 18% overall yield from (S)-2-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-methylpropyl]thiazole-4-carboxylic acid by Michael addition-cyclodehydration of a 2-(2-thiazolyl)enamine and 1-(2-thiazolyl)propynone.

Synthesis of dimethyl sulfomycinamate.

[reaction: see text] Dimethyl sulfomycinamate, the oxazole-thiazole-pyridine product generated in the methanolysis of the thiopeptide antibiotic sulfomycin I, is prepared in 13 steps and 8% overall yield by the Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation of 1-(oxazol-4-yl)enamines and methyl 4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-oxobut-3-ynoate.

A facile solution phase combinatorial synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyridines using the Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation reaction.

The solution phase combinatorial Bohlmann-Rahtz reaction gives highly functionalized pyridine libraries from enamino esters and alkynones in a single synthetic step. Good product ratios and library purities were obtained in reactions catalyzed by zinc(II) bromide, the acid-catalyzed heteroannulation procedure offering considerable improvements over traditional methodology.
