Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease, primarily of the respiratory system, from which two million people die each year. With resistant strains continuing to emerge, the development of new anti-TB agents with new mechanisms of action is of critical importance. The caprazamycins (CPZs; 1, Scheme 1),[1] which were isolated from a culture broth of the Actinomycete strain Streptomyces sp. MK730-62F2 in2003, have shown excellent antimycobacterial activity in vitro against drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and exhibit no significant toxicity in mice. Caprazol (2, Scheme 2), the deacylated CPZ whose stereochemical structure (5’S, 6’S, 2’’’S, 3’’’S) was recently revealed through X-ray crystal analysis,[2] consists of a uridine, an aminoribose, and a characteristic diazepanone. Liposidomycins (LPSs), which are related nucleoside antibiotics, are also known to exhibit antibacterial activity similar to that of CPZs.[3] LPSs prevent the formation of one of the components of bacterial cell walls, peptidoglycan, by inhibiting Mra Y, a key enzyme for peptidoglycan biosynthesis.[4] It has been suggested that CPZs might follow the same mode of action as LPSs because of their complex structural and biological similarities. Consequently, they have become intriguing, challenging synthetic targets.[5] We report herein the first synthesis of caprazol (2).One of the major difficulties posed by the synthesis is the introduction of the 5-aminoribose moiety found in 2 after construction of the uridyldiazepanone moiety, because the tertiary amines contained in the diazepanone structure inhibit the usual ribosylation promoted by Lewis acid,[6] and the 5’-hydroxy group is presumed to be in a highly sterically hindered position.[7] Furthermore, compound 2, which contains a β-heterosubstituted carboxyl moiety, would be sensitive to basic conditions.[3c] Although a general method exists for the construction of β-glycosides through neighboringgroup participation by using a glycosyl donor protected with a 2-O-acyl group, which is then usually deprotected under basic conditions, we planned to introduce the aminoribose protected with an acid-labile protecting group at an early stage of the synthesis. In so doing, we hoped to control the β-selective introduction by steric hindrance of a group installed on the α face of the ribofuranoside.[8] Oxidation of 2’, 3’-O-isopropylideneuridine (3) with IBX [9] followed by a two-carbon elongation with Ph3P= CHCO2Me and BOM protection of the NH group at position 3 of the uracil moiety provided 4 (trans/cis= 37: 1) over three steps (Scheme3). Sharpless aminohydroxylation [10] of 4 with (DHQD) 2AQN as a chiral ligand afforded 5 [11] with a 5’S, 6’S/5’R, 6’R ratio of 86: 14. In the absence of the chiral ligand, the diastereoselectivity was reversed to give 5 in a ratio of 40: 60 with a decrease in yield. When the ribosyl fluoride 6a [12] protected with an isopropylidene group was activated with BF3· Et2O [13] at À308C, the corresponding ribosides were obtained in 79% yield and the stereoselectivity at the anomeric position was 27: 73 (α/β).
