Moreno-Vargas, Catherine Schütz, Rosario Scopelliti, Pierre VogelEnantiomerically pure alcohols (−)- and (+)-7-tert-butoxycarbonyl-6-endo-p-toluenesulfonyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-en-5-endo-ol ((−)-11 and (+)-11) have been obtained from the Diels−Alder
adduct of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)pyrroel and 2-bromo-1-p-toluenesulfonylacetylene, including a
resolution method. These two alcohols were converted into (+)- and (−)-5-exo-amino-7-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2,3-exo-isopropylidenedioxy-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ((+)-18 and (−)-18) and (+)-
and (−)-5-endo-amino-7-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2,3-exo-isopropylidenedioxy-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane
((+)-19 and (−)-19) after adequate functionalization and desulfonylation steps. The corresponding
conformationally constrained bicyclic 1,2-diamines (+)-4, (−)-4, (±)-5, (±)-6, (+)-7, and (−)-7 were
obtained from the protected precursors 18 and 19 and evaluated as glycosidase inhibitors. Diamines
(+)-4, (−)-4, (+)-6, and (−)-6 can be seen as new nonpeptide molecular scaffolds for the design of
peptide analogues.
