Synthesis of Norbornane Bisether Antibiotics via Silver-mediated Alkylation.


ABSTRACT: A small series of norbornane bisether diguanidines have been synthesized and evaluated as antibacterial agents. The key transformation-bisalkylation of norbornane diol 6-was not successful using Williamson methodology but has been accomplished using Ag2O mediated alkylation. Further functionalization to incorporate two guanidinium groups gave rise to a series of structurally rigid cationic amphiphiles; several of which (16d, 16g and 16h) exhibited antibiotic activity. For example, compound 16d was active against a broad range of bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC = 8 µg/mL), Escherichia coli (MIC = 8 µg/mL) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 8 µg/mL).
