Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-negamycin and (-)-3-epinegamycin has been achieved by the introduction of asymmetry through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with chiral nitrones modified with carbohydrates.For the model study, the trans-isoxazolidine-3-carboxylate (+/-)-6a, obtained by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrone 4 with N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)allylamine (5), was converted into the hydrazide (+/-)-13 via six steps, catalytic hydrogenation of which resulted in deprotection and N-O bond cleavage at the same time, affording (+/-)-negamycin .This sequence was next applied to the synthesis of (+)-negamycin.Thus the enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones modified with carbohydrates, such as D- and L-gulose, D-ribose, and D-mannose derivatives, with 5 was investigated.Among these nitrones the gulosyl series proved to produce the best results.The trans adduct D-19a with 94percent ee thus obtained by using N-D-gulosylnitrone D-18 was converted into (+)-negamycin by hydrolytic removal of the chiral auxiliary followed by a similar sequence for the synthesis of (+/-)-1.Similarly, the cis adduct D-19b with 94percent ee obtained by cycloaddition with the D-gulosylnitrone D-18 was transformed into (-)-3-epinegamycin .With synthetic (+)-1 and (-)-2 in hand, antibacterial activity was examined.
