Vancomycin First isolated 1953 by Edmund Kornfeld (Eli Lilly) from soil bacteria Treat Gram-positive bacteria Drug of Last Resort –Intravenous –Resistance Roughly 1000x less bioactivity 2
Retrosynthesis 5 amide bonds / 5 peptide couplings, 6 alpha-AA derivatives Atropodiastereomers, –DE = 18.7 kcal/mol –AB = 25.1 kcal/mol –CD = 30.4 kcal/mol Cyclization order, CD, AB, DE –Permits recycling of undesired atropisomer… thermal equilibration Biaryl, 2 nucleophilic substitutions –Formation CD / DE Activating nitro also serves as a precursor for arylchloride 3
