We report here a practical and metal-free synthesis of novel enantiopure amides containing the drug-like 5-nitroimidazole scaffold. The first step was a metal-free diastereoselective addition of 4-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-1,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1<i>H</i>-imidazole to enantiomerically pure <i>N</i>-<i>tert</i>-butanesulfinimine. Then, the <i>N</i>-<i>tert</i>-butanesulfinyl-protected amine was easily deprotected under acidic conditions. Finally, the primary amine was coupled with different acid chl ...[more]
