Abstract

Negamycin is a potent gram-negative antibiotic. By using commercial available ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate as starting material, the formal synthesis of negamycin was achieved within 8 steps and 29% overall yield. This modified synthetic route features in-situ enzymatic promoted asmmetric reduction reaction to introduce chiral hydroxy group at C-5, a late-stage azidination at C-6 to avoid the introduction of explosive azide group in the early stage in previous syntheses. The C-3 aza-chiral center was constructed via Ellman reagent-based asymmetric Mannich reaction. This efficient route is scalable and suitable to establish a library of negamycin analogues for future high-throughput screening.
