Chiral DNA gyrase inhibitors. 3. Probing the chiral preference of the active site of DNA gyrase. Synthesis of 10-fluoro-6-methyl-6,7-dihydro-9- piperazinyl-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-20-one-3-carboxylic acid analogues

In pursuit of an apparent literature anomaly, S- and R-6-methyl-6,7- dihydro-2H-benzo[a]-quinolizin-2-one-3-carboxylic acids (12 and 22) were synthesized by an unambiguous route from optically active norephedrines, and their antibacterial potencies were measured. Against Gram-negative microorganisms and DNA gyrase a preference for S-absolute configuration was found whereas R-absolute stereochemistry was more active against Gram-positives. These results are in partial conflict with an earlier report. In an attempt to enhance potency, racemic 10-fluoro-9-piperazinyl (35) and related analogues were synthesized by a novel route. The latter analogues were surprisingly unimproved in potency. The implications of these findings are briefly discussed.

The adducts obtained from TiCl4 and achiral (8-12) or chiral, nonracemic (13-22) isocyanides are combined with aldehydes (aromatic or aliphatic) and ketones (acetone, cyclohexanone, acetophenone) to give, after aqueous workup, α-hydroxyamides (27-55) .The transformation is compatible with a variety of functional groups (aromatic and heterocyclic rings, amino, ether, ester, and amido groups, halides, and phosphonate substituents).The yields range from 14 to over 95percent (with the lower values in the case of more highly functionalised isocyanides).No diastereoselectivity is observed with chiral isocyanides.If the R groups of the isocyanide (R-NC) form a rather stable cation (t-alkyl or benzylic), cyanohydrins may result from the reaction, rather than the N-substituted α-hydroxyamides (see Scheme 2).
