My research involved in two different areas, development of novel glycosylation methodology and scope in oligosaccharide synthesis. A new scaffold for antibiotic development targeting the bacterial cell wall: Total synthesis of Albocycline and its analogs to see the mechanism of action in cell wall biosynthesis. Developed novel gem-dimethyl analogs of Fraser-Reid’s NPGs from 3,3-dimethyl 4-pentenol and 2,2-dimethyl 4-pentenol. These donors are stable toward acidic and basic conditions, which makes them step-efficient when compared to other glycosylating agents. The scope and reactivity of 3,3-dimethyl 4-pentenyl glycosides of glucose, mannose, galactose, and N-acetylglucosamine have been studied extensively for oligosaccharide synthesis. The donors are readily prepared from commercial starting materials and both glycosylation and hydrolysis yields are in the synthetically useful in oligosaccharide synthesis. NSMD methodology introduced a key step in albocycline synthesis, where (‒)-albocycline has great biological activity against “superbug” methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We hypothesize that albocycline inhibits the first committed step in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. We have successfully completed two generation syntheses of albocycline. Vinylogous aldol on the left-handed fragment, aldehyde to get selectively up alcohol at the C-8 position using Davis-Ellman sulfinylimine chemistry and then oxidation with Davis oxaziridine to access requisite stereochemistry at C-4 alcohol followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons to access seco-acid. Finally, a Keck macrolactonization reaction provided access to desired (‒)-Albocycline. / Chemistry
