Abstract

The synoxazolidinone family of marine natural products bear an unusual 4-oxazolidinone heterocyclic core and promising antimicrobial activity against several strains of pathogenic bacteria. As part of our research program directed at the synthesis and chemical biology of this family of natural products we have developed a one-step method for the generation of variously substituted 4-oxazolidinone scaffolds from readily available materials. These studies revealed the importance of an electron deficient aromatic ring for antimicrobial activity and serve as the basis for future SAR studies around the 4-oxazolidinone core.
