A current issue of antimicrobial therapy is the resistance to treatment with worldwide consequences. Thus, the identification of innovative targets is an intriguing challenge in the drug and development process aimed at newer antimicrobial agents. The state-of-art of anticholera therapy might comprise the reduction of the expression of cholera toxin, which could be reached through the inhibition of carbonic anhydrases expressed in Vibrio cholerae (VchCAα, VchCAβ, and VchCAγ). Therefore, we focused our interest on the exploitation of sulfonamides as VchCA inhibitors. We planned to design and synthesize new benzenesulfonamides based on our knowledge of the VchCA catalytic site. The synthesized compounds were tested thus collecting useful SAR information. From our investigation, we identified new potent VchCA inhibitors, some of them displayed high affinity toward VchCAγ class, for which few inhibitors are currently reported in literature. The best interesting VchCAγ inhibitor (S)-N-(1-oxo-1-((4-sulfamoylbenzyl)amino)propan-2-yl)furan-2-carboxamide (40) resulted more active and selective inhibitor when compared with acetazolamide (AAZ) as well as previously reported VchCA inhibitors.

We report a fast protocol for the synthesis of enantioenriched quaternary 4-allyl oxazol-5-ones. The key step is a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective Tsuji allylation of azlactone allyl enol carbonates, which can be easily prepared starting from racemic α-amino acids. The use of (R,R)-DACH-phenyl Trost chiral ligand allowed the attainment of the allylated derivatives in very good yields (83–98 %) and with ee up to 85 %. Scaling up the allylation protocol to gram quantities did not affect the yields end ee values. The produced 4-allyl azlactones can be converted into the corresponding quaternary amino acids or submitted to further synthetic elaborations exploiting the allyl moiety as a handle for the attachment of alkyl and aryl groups. After hydrolysis of the azlactone ring, the zwitterionic amino acids can be attained in enantiopure or nearly optically pure form through only one recrystallization step.

Asymmetric base hydrolysis of α-chiral esters with synthetic small-molecule catalysts is described. Quaternary ammonium salts derived from quinine were used as chiral phase-transfer catalysts to promote the base hydrolysis of N-protected amino acid hexafluoroisopropyl esters in a CHCl3/NaOH (aq) via dynamic kinetic resolution, providing the corresponding products in moderate to good yields (up to 99%) with up to 96:4 er. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies using DFT calculation and pseudotransition state (pseudo-TS) conformational search afforded a TS model accounting for the origin of the stereoselectivity. The model suggested π-stacking and H-bonding interactions play essential roles in stabilizing the TS structures.
