- developed through an Ugi/Dieckmann cyclization strategy with DBU. This two-step one-pot procedure afforded the targeted tetramic acid analogues in good yields. With commercially available Ugi starting materials, microwave irradiation, a simple operation, excellent yields, and a broad scope, this reaction
- has the potential to produce a large number of tetramic acid analogues, which cannot be easily accessed by the classic synthetic methods. Keywords: Dieckmann cyclization; multicomponent reactions; nitrogen heterocycles; one-pot reaction; Ugi reaction; Introduction Nitrogen-containing heterocycles
- tetramic acid derivatives with potential interesting biological activities via an Ugi/Dieckmann cyclization strategy. Results and Discussion We initially stirred a mixture of ethyl glyoxylate (1a), aniline (2a), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid (3a), and benzylisonitrile (4a) in methanol at room temperature

- , is an imperative goal to stay ahead of the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Herein we report the synthesis of a 3-decyltetramic acid analogue of the ureido dipeptide natural antibiotic leopolic acid A. The key step in the synthetic strategy is an intramolecular Lacey–Dieckmann cyclization reaction
- could be a Lacey–Dieckmann cyclization starting from a N-acetoacetyl-α-amino ester. Interestingly, the biosynthetic pathways of the tetramic acid scaffold involves Lacey–Dieckmann cyclases [23] or a spontaneous intramolecular Claisen condensation, which occurs in the cytosol. To protect the α-amino

An oxazolidinone-containing leopolic acid A analogue was also synthesized. The antibacterial activity showed by both compounds

We chose the p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) protecting group for the amine, because of its facile
