As oxazolidinonas são compostos versáteis utilizados na preparação de uma série de outras classes de compostos e são largamente utilizados como auxiliares quirais em sínteses orgânicas assimétricas. Biologicamente são de grande importância por apresentarem efeitos neurolépticos, efeitos psicotrópicos, antialérgicos e antibacterianos. No que se refere a atividade antibacteriana, as oxazolidinonas, apresentam atividade notável contra muitas cepas resistentes de bactérias gram-positivas, através de um novo mecanismo de ação. As oxazolidinonas 4- e 4,5-substituídas oriundas de aldeídos alifáticos e aromáticos foram sintetizadas a partir de adutos de Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH), através de duas principais rotas: via rearranjo de Curtius e via reação de ozonólise do aduto de MBH, sendo esta última, resultado de estudos prévios realizados em nosso laboratório. A reprodutibilidade desta rota sintética nos possibilitou a preparação de um intermediário avançado da substância isocitoxazona, um isômero estrutural da citoxazona, uma oxazolidinona que apresenta atividade citocina moduladora sobre células Th2. A partir da rota via Rearranjo de Curtius e através de uma adaptação da mesma, sintetizamos cetonas a, b-saturadas, a partir de adutos de MBH. E finalmente, iniciamos um estudo para a síntese assimétrica de 2- oxazolidinonas, utilizando a base quiral b-isocupreidina. A mesma foi sintetizada e utilizada na reação de MBH na preparação de um aduto de MBH quiral. As oxazolidinonas sintetizadas estão sendo submetidas a ensaios para a determinação da atividade biológica frente a uma série de microorganismos / Abstract: This work has been as main purpose the synthesis and the biological evaluation of some 2-oxazolidinones. These compounds have been used as substrates for the preparation of different compounds and used as chiral auxiliary in asymmetric organic synthesis. Besides the synthetic relevance of this class of compounds, they also exhibit important biological effects, as neuroleptic, psychotropic, anti-allergenic and antibacterial. In the last years, an special attention has been paid to these compounds due to their antibacterial activity, since they show a remarkable activity against Gram-positive drugs multi-resistant strains, through a new action mechanism. In this work several 4- and 4,5-substituted oxazolidinones were synthesized from Morita-Baylis-Hillman prepared from aliphatic and aromatic commercial aldehydes, using two synthetic approaches. The first approach was based on employing a Curtius rearrangement, and the second was based on the utilization of an ozonolysis reaction of the MBH adducts. Both synthetic approaches have permitted preparing several oxazolidinones. An advanced intermediate for the total synthesis of isocytoxazone, a structural isomer of cytoxazone, was also prepared. Cytoxazone, a natural oxazolidinone, exhibits cytocine modulator activity for Th2 cells. Through an adaptation of the strategy based on Curtius rearrangement, we have also synthesized a, b-unsaturated ketones from MBH adducts. Finally, a study was started aiming at synthesizing chiral oxazolidinones, using chiral base b-isocupreidine prepared by us. Synthetic oxazolidinones prepared in this work are under biological screening for evaluating theirs antibacterial profiles / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Small chiral molecules are very important building blocks in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. These building blocks include nitrogen and oxygen-containing heterocycles such as 2-oxazolidinones, 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones, 2-oxazolines, oxazines, morpholine and morpholinones. Because of their interesting properties, chiral heterocycles have stirred great interest in the synthetic chemist community to develop useful and efficient strategies to these molecules. In this dissertation, the design and syntheses of various heterocyclic building blocks are presented, as well as the testing of their biological activities as antibacterial. Another very interesting family of heterocycle-containing molecules are the Aeruginosins. They are a family of marine natural products isolated from a blue-green algae, which display inhibitory activity against serine proteases such as thrombin, trypsin, and factor VIIa. Most aeruginosins contain an heterocyclic moiety called the 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole (Choi) ring; this Choi moiety is a rigid bicyclic unnatural amino acid and is the core structure in the aeruginosins, indispensable to their biological activity. A synthesis of a ring-oxygenated variant of the Choi from D-mannose is reported in this dissertation. The ring-oxygenated variant of 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole can potentially be used as a surrogate of Choi in the design and synthesis of aeruginosin-based thrombin inhibitors.
