N-Acylation of polymer 3 proceeded smoothly to yield polymers 5 in quantitative yields, as evidenced from the 1H NMR spectra of polymers 5

Results and Discussion Simple N-alkenyl ureas 1 were prepared by a reported method [2] entailing N-acylation of an acetophenimine with an isocyanate, followed by N-alkylation of the resulting urea. When urea 1a was treated with t-BuLi or s-BuLi in THF at −78 °C for one hour, followed

• method of synthesis: N-acylation of a propiophenimine typically generates an E-alkenylurea, but deprotonation and reprotonation of the urea inverts its geometry to Z [2], probably via an intramolecularly chelated urea-substituted allyl anion [17]. Urea E-3a was treated with n-BuLi in Et2O (the less

It is noteworthy that some polar groups, including amino, hydroxy and sulfonamide, could not tolerate the conditions of Higa cyclization, and had to be introduced through transformation reactions after the N-acylation step. As depicted in Scheme 3, NH2-derivative 7m was prepared from the NO2

The resulting amide 289 is then converted to the corresponding imidoyl chloride 290 using phosphorous pentachloride in dichloromethane (which proved to be superior to phosphoryl chloride) followed

S-Alkylation processes are not affected by competing hydrolysis, however, N-acylation using reactive esters is hampered by competing hydrolysis processes.

A [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between N-tert-butyl nitrone 9 and 8 and subsequent base-catalyzed ring-opening and hydrolysis afforded N-(1-oxohex-5-ynyl)neuraminic acid (Neu5Hex, 3) in 38% yield

• potassium enolates are more reactive than the lithium enolate and compete too well with N-acylation. We surmised that effective cyclisation onto the acylpyridinium species, avoiding the N- vs. C-acylation problem, might be made possible by decreasing the reactivity of the enolate still further, transforming
