Abstract

The synthesis and conformational preferences of 9-azido-(9-deoxy)- Cinchona alkaloids constituting a novel class of Cinchona alkaloid derivatives of both natural and 9- epi configurations are described. One and two-step preparative syntheses of 9-azido-(9-deoxy)- Cinchona alkaloids have been developed, allowing for their easy access on a multigram scale. The stereochemical integrity of these azides has been confirmed from their circular dichroism and specific rotation data. The conformations of the 9-azido Cinchona alkaloids, deduced from both 1H NMR and DFT calculations, show that this class of Cinchona derivatives largely reflect the conformational preferences of the corresponding Cinchona bases; this strategy, therefore, offers a defined chiral and clickable scaffold.
