4.5- Disubstituted sultams, synthesis

The successful application of sulfanyl amines in the diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of as-3,4-disubstituted /3-sultams has been reported (Scheme 56). The protocol is based on the oxidation of the 1,2-aminothiols 178 with hydrogen peroxide and ammonium heptamolybdate. Chlorination of the resulting /3-aminosulfonic acids was achieved using phosgene. The /3-aminosulfonyl chlorides 179 obtained were cyclized under basic conditions and without epimerization to yield the t -3,4-disubstituted /3-sultams 180 (>96% de, ee) (Table 13) <2005S1807>.

Solid-phase synthesis of substituted pyrazolones 550 from polymer-bound /3-keto esters 549 has been described (Scheme 68) <2001EJ01631>. Trisubstituted pyrazole carboxylic acids were prepared by reaction of polymer-bound arylidene- or alkylidene-/3-oxo esters with phenylhydrazines <1999S1961>. 2-(Pyrazol-l-yl)pyrimi-dine derivatives were prepared by cyclocondensation of ethyl acetoacetate and (6-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimi-din-2-yl)hydrazine with aromatic aldehydes <2004RJC423>. Reactions of acylated diethyl malonates with hydrazine monohydrochloride in ethanol afforded 3,4-disubstituted-pyrazolin-5-ones <2002T3639>. Reactions of hydrazines with A -acetoacetyl derivatives of (45 )-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one (Evans oxazolidinone) and (2R)-bornane-10,2-sultam (Oppolzer sultam) in very acidic media gave pyrazoles retaining the 3(5)-chiral moiety <1999S157>. 

The asymmetric synthesis of c -3,4-disubstituted P-sultams 65, based on the oxidation of 1,2-aminothiols with H2O2 and ammonium heptamolybdate has been achieved <05S1807>. Different transition-state structures for the reactions of P-lactams and their sulfonyl analogues P-sultams with serine P-lactamases have been reported <05JA17556>. It has been discovered that the 3-oxo-P-sultam 66 is unusual in that it inhibits elastase by acylation resulting from substitution at the carbonyl center, C-N fission, and expulsion of the sulfonamide <05JA8946>.
