Abstract

From 2-aminonorbornene hydroxamic acids, a simple and efficient method for the preparation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine enantiomers is reported. The synthesis is based on domino ring-closure followed by microwave-induced retro Diels-Alder (RDA) protocols, where the chirality of the desired products is transferred from norbornene derivatives. The stereochemistry of the synthesized compounds was proven by X-ray crystallography. The absolute configuration of the product is determined by the configuration of the starting amino hydroxamic acid.

Highlights

  • The first hydroxamic acid was discovered by Lossen as early as 1869.hydroxamic acids attracted further attention at the beginning of the 1980s because of their bioactivity [2]

  • Focusing on the biological potential of fused quinazolinones, and continuing our work on the synthesis of novel N-heterocycles, we report the synthesis of a new series of pyrrolo[1,2-a]

  • New racemic and enantiomeric pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidines were synthesized starting from diendo- and diexo-2-aminonorbornene hydroxamic acids

Summary

Introduction

Hydroxamic acids attracted further attention at the beginning of the 1980s because of their bioactivity [2]. Their pharmacological properties are related to their ability to scavenge metal ions [3]. They are able to generate nitric oxide [3,4,5] in living systems. They can act as antimicrobial [6,7,8,9], antitumour [6,10], antihypertensive [11], anti-inflammatory [6,12], and neuroleptic agents, among others [3,13].
