The high tendency of α-amino aldehydes to undergo 1,2-additions and their relatively low stability under basic conditions have largely prevented their use as pronucleophiles in the realm of asymmetric catalysis, particularly for the production of quaternary α-amino aldehydes. Herein, it is demonstrated that the chemistry of α-amino aldehydes may be expanded beyond these limits by documenting the first direct α-alkylation of α-branched α-amino aldehydes with nitroolefins. The reaction produces densely functionalized products bearing up to two, quaternary and tertiary, vicinal stereocenters with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. DFT modeling leads to the proposal that intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH group and the carbonyl oxygen atom in the starting α-amino aldehyde is key for reaction stereocontrol.

A series of leucinol analogs were investigated as leucyl-tRNA synthetase-targeted mTORC1 inhibitors. Among them, compound 5, (S)-4-isobutyloxazolidin-2-one, showed the most potent inhibition on the mTORC1 pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Compound 5 inhibited downstream phosphorylation of mTORC1 by blocking leucine-sensing ability of LRS, without affecting the catalytic activity of LRS. In addition, compound 5 exhibited cytotoxicity against rapamycin-resistant colon cancer cells, suggesting that LRS has the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract A convenient solution phase approach for the synthesis of fellutamide B with efficient purification techniques has been demonstrated on the molecule for the first time. The strategy involves the use of natural amino acids as starting materials and classical peptide coupling reactions. The synthesis has been achieved in 10 steps with overall yield of 26.7% making the synthesis facile.
