BACKGROUND

[0002] Emerging resistance to existing antibiotics is rapidly developing as a crisis of global proportions, especially for infections originating from drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Pathogenic bacteria can transmit genes coding for antibiotic resistance both vertically (to their progeny) and horizontally (to neighboring bacteria of different lineages), and as a result antibiotic resistance can evolve quickly, particularly in nosocomial (hospital) settings. See, e.g., Wright, Chem. Commun. (2011) 47:4055-4061. More than 99,000 people die annually in the U.S. from healthcare-associated infections, more than all casualties from car accidents, HIV, and breast cancer combined, creating an estimated burden of up to $45 billion in U.S. healthcare costs. See, e.g., Klevens et ah, Public Health Rep (2007) 122: 160-166. The current crisis is exacerbated by decreased research in the development of new antibiotics by most major pharmaceutical companies. See, e.g., Projan, Curr. Opin. Microbiol. (2003) 6:427-430. The current rate of introduction of new antibiotics does not adequately address growing resistance, and with the ease of international travel and increasing population densities, the need for innovation in the field has never been higher.

[0003] The lincosamides are a class of antibiotics that prevent bacteria growth by interfering with the synthesis of proteins. They bind to the 23s portion of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and cause premature dissociation of the peptidyl-tRNA from the ribosome. Lincosamides do not interfere with protein synthesis in human cells (or those of other eukaryotes) because human ribosomes are structurally different from those of bacteria.

[0004] The first lincosamide to be discovered was lincomycin, but the use of lincomycin as an antibiotic has been largely superseded by clindamycin, which exhibits improved antibacterial activity. Clindamycin also exhibits some activity against parasitic protozoa and has been used to treat toxoplasmosis and malaria. Lincosamides are typically used to treat Staphylococcus and Streptococcus infections but have also proved to be useful in treating Bacteroides fragilis and other anaerobic infections. They are used in the treatment of toxic shock syndrome and thought to directly block the M protein production that leads to the severe inflammatory response.

Lincomycin Clindamycin

[0005] Target bacteria may alter the drug's binding site leading to resistance (similar to resistance found with macrolides and streptogramins). The resistance mechanism is methylation of the 23s binding site. If this occurs, then the bacteria are resistant to both macrolides and lincosamides. In rare instances, enzymatic inactivation of clindamycin has also been reported.

[0006] In addition, lincosamide antibiotics are associated with pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium dij icile (C. dij icile). Pseudomembranous colitis is inflammation of the colon associated with an overgrowth of C. dijjicile. This overgrowth of C. dijjicile is most often related to recent lincosamide antibiotic use. For example, clindamycin, currently the only lincosamide in clinical use, carries a black-box warning for its tendency to promote C. <¾ zcz7e-associated diarrhea (CD AD).

[0007] Accordingly, the discovery and development of new antibiotics effective against drug-resistant bacteria, particularly lincosamides, represents a currently unmet medical need.

SUMMARY

[0008] A powerful synthetic platform for the discovery of new synthetic lincosamide antibiotics is disclosed herein. This platform enables the production of lincosamides bearing unprecedented modifications to both constituent halves of the lincosamides, namely the aminooctose (northern) and amino-acid (southern) portions. Lincosamides generated using this platform demonstrate potent activity against high-priority, clinically relevant pathogens including clindamycin- and azithromycin-resistant strains of S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and E. faecalis-strai against which effective new antibiotics are in demand. Moreover, the disclosed lincosamides show potential promise as safer alternatives to clindamycin, owing to a diminished negative impact on commensal gut flora due to increased activity against C. difficile. The disclosed synthetic lincosamides also demonstrate activity against Gram- negative pathogens like E. coli.

[00250] As used herein, a "leaving group" (LG) is an art-understood term referring to a molecular fragment that departs with a pair of electrons in heterolytic bond cleavage, wherein the molecular fragment is an anion or neutral molecule. As used herein, a leaving group can be an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. See, for example, Smith, March Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Exemplary leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halo (e.g., chloro, bromo, iodo), -OR ^aa (when the O atom is attached to a carbonyl group, wherein R is as defined herein), -0(C=0)R ^LG , or -0(SO) ₂ R ^LG (e.g., tosyl, mesyl, besyl), wherein R is optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl. In certain embodiments, the leaving group is a halogen. In certain embodiments, the leaving group is I.

[00251] As used herein, use of the phrase "at least one instance" refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.

[00252] A "non-hydrogen group" refers to any group that is defined for a particular variable that is not hydrogen.

[00253] The term "carbohydrate" or "saccharide" refers to an aldehydic or ketonic derivative of polyhydric alcohols. Carbohydrates include compounds with relatively small molecules (e.g., sugars) as well as macromolecular or polymeric substances (e.g. , starch, glycogen, and cellulose polysaccharides). The term "sugar" refers to monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates in that they cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. Most monosaccharides can be represented by the general formula C _y H _2y O _y (e.g., C ₆ Hi ₂ 0 ₆ (a hexose such as glucose)), wherein y is an integer equal to or greater than 3. Certain polyhydric alcohols not represented by the general formula described above may also be considered monosaccharides. For example, deoxyribose is of the formula CsHio0 ₄ and is a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides usually consist of five or six carbon atoms and are referred to as pentoses and hexoses, receptively. If the monosaccharide contains an aldehyde it is referred to as an aldose; and if it contains a ketone, it is referred to as a ketose. Monosaccharides may also consist of three, four, or seven carbon atoms in an aldose or ketose form and are referred to as trioses, tetroses, and heptoses, respectively. Glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone are considered to be aldotriose and ketotriose sugars, respectively. Examples of aldotetrose sugars include erythrose and threose; and ketotetrose sugars include erythrulose. Aldopentose sugars include ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose; and ketopentose sugars include ribulose, arabulose, xylulose, and lyxulose. Examples of aldohexose sugars include glucose (for example, dextrose), mannose, galactose, allose, altrose, talose, gulose, and idose; and ketohexose sugars include fructose, psicose, sorbose, and tagatose. Ketoheptose sugars include sedoheptulose. Each carbon atom of a monosaccharide bearing a hydroxyl group (-OH), with the exception of the first and last carbons, is asymmetric, making the carbon atom a stereocenter with two possible configurations (R or S). Because of this asymmetry, a number of isomers may exist for any given monosaccharide formula. The aldohexose D-glucose, for example, has the formula C ₆ Hi ₂ 0 ₆ , of which all but two of its six carbons atoms are stereogenic, making D-glucose one of the 16 (i.e. , 2 ⁴ ) possible stereoisomers. The assignment of D or L is made according to the orientation of the asymmetric carbon furthest from the carbonyl group: in a standard Fischer projection if the hydroxyl group is on the right the molecule is a D sugar, otherwise it is an L sugar. The aldehyde or ketone group of a straight- chain monosaccharide will react reversibly with a hydroxyl group on a different carbon atom to form a hemiacetal or hemiketal, forming a heterocyclic ring with an oxygen bridge between two carbon atoms. Rings with five and six atoms are called furanose and pyranose forms, respectively, and exist in equilibrium with the straight-chain form. During the conversion from the straight-chain form to the cyclic form, the carbon atom containing the carbonyl oxygen, called the anomeric carbon, becomes a stereogenic center with two possible configurations: the oxygen atom may take a position either above or below the plane of the ring. The resulting possible pair of stereoisomers is called anomers. In an a anomer, the -OH substituent on the anomeric carbon rests on the opposite side (trans) of the ring from the -CH ₂ OH side branch. The alternative form, in which the -C¾OH substituent and the anomeric hydroxyl are on the same side (cis) of the plane of the ring, is called a β anomer. A carbohydrate including two or more joined monosaccharide units is called a disaccharide or polysaccharide (e.g., a trisaccharide), respectively. The two or more monosaccharide units bound together by a covalent bond known as a glycosidic linkage formed via a dehydration reaction, resulting in the loss of a hydrogen atom from one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group from another. Exemplary disaccharides include sucrose, lactulose, lactose, maltose, isomaltose, trehalose, cellobiose, xylobiose, laminaribiose, gentiobiose, mannobiose, melibiose, nigerose, or rutinose. Exemplary trisaccharides include, but are not limited to, isomaltotriose, nigerotriose, maltotriose, melezitose, maltotriulose, raffinose, and kestose. The term carbohydrate also includes other natural or synthetic stereoisomers of the carbohydrates described herein.

[00254] These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, Examples, and claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.

Other definitions

[00255] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any and all salts, and encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[00256] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate,

ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N ⁺ (Ci_ ₄ alkyl) ₄ ^~ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.

[00257] The term "solvate" refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include

pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates.

Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.

[00258] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H ₂ 0, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1 , e.g., hemihydrates (R-0.5 H ₂ 0)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R-2 H ₂ 0) and hexahydrates (R-6 H ₂ 0)).

[00259] The term "tautomers" or "tautomeric" refers to two or more interconvertable compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g. , a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam-to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations.

[00260] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers".

[00261] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed

"diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".

[00262] The term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[00263] The term "prodrugs" refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein, which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. C _1-8 alkyl, C ₂ -8 alkenyl, C ₂ -8 alkynyl, aryl, C _7-12 substituted aryl, and C7-C ₁₂ arylalkyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.

[00264] The terms "composition" and "formulation" are used interchangeably.

[00265] A "subject" to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e. , male or female of any age group, e.g. , pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g. , primate (e.g., cynomolgus monkey or rhesus monkey), commercially relevant mammal (e.g., cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, cat, or dog), or bird (e.g. , commercially relevant bird, such as chicken, duck, goose, or turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or amphibian. The non-human animal may be a male or female at any stage of development. The non-human animal may be a transgenic animal or genetically engineered animal "Disease," "disorder," and "condition" are used interchangeably herein. [00266] The term "administer," "administering," or "administration" refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein, or a composition thereof, in or on a subject.

[00267] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "treat," "treating" and "treatment" contemplate an action that occurs while a subject is suffering from the specified infectious disease or inflammatory condition, which reduces the severity of the infectious disease or inflammatory condition, or retards or slows the progression of the infectious disease or inflammatory condition ("therapeutic treatment"), and also contemplates an action that occurs before a subject begins to suffer from the specified infectious disease or inflammatory condition ("prophylactic treatment").

[00268] In general, the "effective amount" of a compound refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound of the invention may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, the mode of administration, and the age, health, and condition of the subject. An effective amount encompasses therapeutic and prophylactic treatment.

[00269] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of an infectious disease or inflammatory condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the infectious disease or inflammatory condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the infectious disease or inflammatory condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of infectious disease or inflammatory condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

[00270] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a "prophylactic ally effective amount" of a compound is an amount sufficient to prevent an infectious disease or inflammatory condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the infectious disease or inflammatory condition, or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the infectious disease or inflammatory condition. The term "prophylactically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.

[00271] The term "inflammatory disease" refers to a disease caused by, resulting from, or resulting in inflammation. The term "inflammatory disease" may also refer to a dysregulated inflammatory reaction that causes an exaggerated response by macrophages, granulocytes, and/or T-lymphocytes leading to abnormal tissue damage and/or cell death. An inflammatory disease can be either an acute or chronic inflammatory condition and can result from infections or non-infectious causes. Inflammatory diseases include, without limitation, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), gouty arthritis, degenerative arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, arthrosteitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, Sjogren' s syndrome, giant cell arteritis, progressive systemic sclerosis

Air- and moisture- sensitive liquids and solutions were transferred via syringe or stainless steel cannula. When necessary (so noted), solutions were deoxygenated by three cycles of freezing (liquid nitrogen), evacuation, and thawing under static vacuum. Organic solutions were concentrated by rotary evaporation (house vacuum, -60 Torr) at 23-30 °C. Flash-column chromatography was performed as described by Still et al., (Still, W. C; Kahn, M.; Mitra, A., J. Org. Chem. 1978, 43 (14), 2923-2925), employing silica gel (60-A pore size, 230-400 mesh, Agela Technologies, Chicago, IL; or RediSep silica cartridges, Teledyne Isco, Lincoln, NE). Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using glass plates pre-coated with silica gel (0.25 mm, 60-A pore size, 230-400 mesh, Merck KGA) impregnated with a fluorescent indicator (254 nm). In special cases (so noted), analytical TLC was performed with aminopropyl-modified silica gel (NH ₂ silica gel, 60-A pore size, Wako Chemicals USA) impregnated with a fluorescent indicator (254 nm). TLC plates were visualized by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) and/or exposure to iodine vapor (I ₂ ), basic aqueous potassium permanganate solution (KMn0 ₄ ), acidic ethanolic para- anisaldehyde solution (PAA), acidic aqueous eerie ammonium molybdate solution (CAM), or ethanolic solution of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) followed by brief heating on a hot plate as needed (-200 °C, <15 s). In some cases, reaction monitoring was carried out by analytical liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS), or by flow-injection analysis-high- resolution mass spectrometry (FIA-HRMS).

[00275] Instrumentation: Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C NMR) spectra were recorded on Varian Mercury 400 (400 MHz/100 MHz), Varian Inova 500 (500 MHz/125 MHz), or Varian Inova 600 (600 MHz/150 MHz) NMR spectrometers at 23 °C. Proton chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ scale) and are referenced to residual protium in the NMR solvent (CHC1 ₃ , δ 7.26; CHD ₃ OD, δ 3.31; C ₆ H ₅ D, δ 7.16). Carbon chemical shifts are expressed as parts per million (ppm, δ scale) and are referenced to the carbon resonance of the NMR solvent (CDC1 ₃ , δ 77.2; CD ₃ OD, δ 49.0; C ₆ D ₆ , δ 128.1). Data are reported as follows: Chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, qn = quintet, dd = doublet of doublets, td = triplet of doublets, ABq = AB quartet, m = multiplet, br = broad, app = apparent), integration, and coupling constant (J) in Hertz (Hz). Infrared transmittance (IR) spectra were obtained using a Bruker ALPHA FTIR spectrophotometer referenced to a polystyrene standard. Data are represented as follows: Frequency of absorption (cm ¹ ), and intensity (s = strong, m = medium, br = broad). Melting points were determined using a Thomas Scientific capillary melting point apparatus. High-resolution mass spectrometry (including FIA-HRMS reaction monitoring) was performed at the Harvard University Mass Spectrometry Facility using a Bruker micrOTOF-QII mass spectrometer. X-ray crystallographic analysis was performed at the Harvard University X-Ray Crystallographic Laboratory by Dr. Shao-Liang Zheng.

[00276] To a solution of ethynyltriisopropylsilane (1, 20.0 g, 110 mmol, 1 equiv) in diethyl ether (100 mL) was added n-butyllithium solution (2.12 M in hexane, 51.7 mL, 110 mmol, 1.00 equiv) slowly by cannula at 0 °C over approximately 15 min. The resulting solution was stirred at 0 °C for an additional 40 min. This lithium acetylide solution was then transferred via cannula over a period of 5-10 min to a 500-mL round -bottomed flask containing a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (25.5 mL, 329 mmol, 3.00 equiv) and diethyl ether (100 mL) chilled to -78 °C. A white suspension formed. The reaction mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 1 h before warming to 0 °C, at which temperature the mixture became homogeneous. After 1 h of stirring at 0 °C, the mixture was transferred to an ice-cold aqueous sulfuric acid solution (5% v/v, 250 mL). The resulting biphasic mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h, and then the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 150 mL), and the combined organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (150 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 3-

(triisopropylsilyl)propiolaldehyde (2) as a colorless oil that was used in the next step without further purification. The 1H NMR data matched literature values.

[00277] An oven-dried 2-L round-bottomed flask was charged with lithium chloride (5.60 g, 132 mmol, 1.20 equiv), and the apparatus was flame-dried. Once cooled, the flask was charged with a magnetic stir bar and acetonitrile (1.3 L), and the resulting suspension was stirred at 23 °C for 10 min (lithium chloride does not fully dissolve). 3- (Triisopropylsilyl)propriolaldehyde (2, theoretically 110 mmol, 1 equiv) and triethyl phosphonoacetate (22.5 mL, 112 mmol, 1.02 equiv) were then added sequentially. 1,8- Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU, 16.6 mL, 110 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added dropwise over 5 min, causing the mixture to warm to approximately 40 °C with concomitant transformation of the originally colorless reaction solution to an opaque, off-white

suspension. Progress was monitored by TLC (20% dichloromethane-hexanes, UV+PAA); after 10 min, the reaction was judged to be complete. The mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation to a volume of approximately 300 mL, and the concentrated mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel containing saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (400 mL) and diethyl ether (300 mL). The mixture was shaken, and the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 300 mL); the combined organic layers were then washed sequentially with water (250 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (250 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give ethyl (£)-5- (triisopropylsilyl)pent-2-en-4-ynoate as a colorless oil that was used in the next step without further purification. The 1H NMR data matched literature values.

[00278] To a rapidly stirred solution of crude ethyl (E)-5-(triisopropylsilyl)pent-2-en-4- ynoate (theoretically 110 mmol, 1 equiv) in diethyl ether (220 mL) was added diisobutyl aluminum hydride (1.0 M solution in hexane, 243 mL, 2.2 equiv) by cannula at -78 °C. The mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 1 h, then at 0 °C for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was then transferred by wide-bore cannula to a 2-L round-bottomed flask containing a rapidly stirred aqueous Rochelle salt solution (potassium sodium tartrate, 0.80 M, 410 mL, 328 mmol, 3.0 equiv) pre-chilled to 0 °C. A cloudy slurry formed immediately upon aqueous quenching of the reaction mixture; after approximately 3 min of stirring at 0 °C, this suspension thickened to form a gel. Gas evolution was then observed, followed by gradual collapse of the gel to form a cloudy, light yellow emulsion. The mixture was stirred at 23 °C overnight under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas, during which time the emulsion separated into a biphasic mixture. The layers were separated at the end of this period, and the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 200 mL). The combined organic layers were then washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (200 mL), and the washed organic product solution was dried over sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a light yellow oil. This residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (500 g silica gel, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 10% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to afford allylic alcohol 3 as a colorless oil (19.7 g, 75%, 3 steps). The 1H NMR data matched literature values.

[00279] A 1-L, 2-necked round-bottomed flask was oven-dried. Once cooled, the flask was charged with a magnetic stir bar and powdered 4- A molecular sieves (20.0 g, Sigma- Aldrich, activated by heating overnight in a vacuum drying oven [200 °C, -70 Torr]). A thermocouple probe was fitted to one neck of the flask, while the other neck was sealed with a rubber septum. Dichloromethane (229 mL) was added, and the resulting slurry was cooled to -30 °C in a CryoCool bath. (-)-Diethyl-D-tartrate (7.21 mL, 41.9 mmol, 0.500 equiv) was added. Titanium(IV) isopropoxide (9.83 mL, 33.6 mmol, 0.400 equiv) was then added dropwise over 2 min, causing the internal temperature to rise to -26 °C briefly. The resulting mixture was stirred at -30 °C for 20 min, after which time a solution of allylic alcohol 3 (20.0 g, 84.0 mmol, 1 equiv) in dichloromethane (295 mL) was added slowly by cannula over 10 min. The mixture was incubated at -30 °C for 30 min. ie/ -Butylhydroperoxide solution (TBHP, -5.5 M solution in decane, 30.5 mL, 170 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was finally added at a rate of 2.0 mL/min with a syringe pump, such that the internal temperature of the mixture did not rise above -28 °C. Stirring was maintained at -30 °C following the addition of TBHP, and progress was monitored by TLC (10% ethyl acetate-dichloromethane, UV+PAA). After 21 h, the reaction was judged to be complete. A solution comprising iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate (27 g, 97 mmol, 1.2 equiv), DL-tartaric acid (62 g, 0.41 mol, 4.9 equiv), and water (517 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting biphasic mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 10 min at a moderate stir rate (350 rpm) The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel where the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 300 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (2 x 200 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a slightly cloudy colorless oil. This residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (800 g silica gel, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 15% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to give epoxyalcohol 4 as a colorless, viscous oil (14.9 g, 70%). The 1H NMR data matched reported values.

[00280] The enantiomeric excess was determined by conversion to the corresponding Mosher esters. In this procedure, a solution of epoxyalcohol 4 (10 mg, 39 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) in 4: 1 dichloromethane-pyridine (200 μί) was treated with ( ?)-3,3,3-trif uoro-2-methoxy-2- phenylpropanoyl chloride (8.8 μί, 47 μιηοΐ, 1.2 equiv) at 23 °C. The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 30 min, at which point TLC analysis (50% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+KMn0 ₄ ) indicated complete consumption of starting material. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the crude residue was subjected to 1H NMR analysis (600 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ). Integration of the major methylene resonance at δ 4.60 (dd, = 12.3, 3.2 Hz, 1H) relative to its minor diastereomeric counterpart at δ 4.66 (dd, = 12.5, 3.0 Hz, 1H, derived from undesired (2S,3S)-product enantiomer) demonstrated an enantiomeric ratio of 94:6 (88% ee). Use of the enantiomeric (S)-Mosher acyl chloride reagent gave the same result.

[00281] A solution of epoxyalcohol 4 (14.9 g, 58.6 mmol, 1 equiv) in dichloromethane (468 mL) and anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (117 mL) was treated with triethylamine (65.3 mL, 468 mmol, 8.00 equiv). Sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (37.3 g, 234 mmol, 4.00 equiv) was then added in three portions over 15 min at 23 °C. The resulting salmon-pink solution was stirred at 23 °C, and after 2 h, TLC analysis (30% ethyl acetate-hexanes, PAA) indicated complete consumption of starting material. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel containing 1.2 L of 0.5 M copper(II) sulfate solution. The layers were shaken, then separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 300 mL). The combined organic layers were then washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (200 mL), and the washed organic product solution was dried over sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a brown oil. This residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (600 g silica gel, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 10% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to afford 5 as a colorless oil

(12.0 g, 81%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ): δ 9.02 (d, J = 6.1 Hz, 1H), 3.69 (d, J = 1.8 Hz, 1H), 3.54 (dd, 7 = 6.1, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 1.07 (s, 21H).

[00282] In a 100-mL round-bottomed flask, epoxyaldehyde 5 (4.93 g, 19.5 mmol, 1 equiv) was dissolved in methanol (39.1 mL). To this solution were added nitroethanol (2.80 mL, 39.1 mmol, 2.0 equiv) and potassium carbonate (270 mg, 1.95 mmol, 0.100 equiv). After stirring for 2 h at 23 °C, TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, CAM) showed complete consumption of epoxyaldehyde starting material, as well as the disappearance of

intermediate, linear, mid-polar nitroaldol adducts (R/s 0.63-0.77, 60% ethyl acetate- hexanes, CAM). The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and crude 1H-NMR analysis of the residue revealed a 62:38 diastereomeric ratio favoring the desired C5 epimer. This crude mixture was subjected to flash-column chromatographic separation (700 g silica gel, eluting with 50% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 80% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to afford isoxazoline N-oxide 6 as a brilliant white powder (3.00 g, 45%). Melting point: 55-57 °C. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ 5.51 (app t, J = 6.9 Hz, 1H), 4.89 (dd, J = 6.6, 5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.67 (dd, J = 7.4, 5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.56-4.53 (m, 2H), 3.42 (d, J = 6.6 Hz, 1H), 2.97 (d, J = 6.7 Hz, 1H), 2.42 (t, J = 6.3 Hz, 1H), 1.09-1.08 (m, 21H).

[00283] To a solution of isoxazoline N-oxide 6 (4.70 g, 13.7 mmol, 1 equiv) in

tetrahydrofuran (137 mL) was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution (1.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 32.8 mL, 32.8 mmol, 2.40 equiv) dropwise at 0 °C. The resulting colorless solution was immediately warmed to 23 °C, and after 2 h of stirring at that temperature, TLC analysis (5% methanol-ethyl acetate, CAM) indicated complete consumption of starting material. The mixture was loaded directly onto a column of silica gel (500 g) pre-equilibrated with ethyl acetate. The product was eluted with 5% methanol-ethyl acetate, and product- containing fractions were pooled. The pooled fractions were concentrated to give the alkyne 7 as a buff white solid (221 mg, 97%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.25 (d, = 6.3 Hz, 1H), 4.73 (dd, J = 8.1, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 4.45 (dd, J = 6.3, 8.1 Hz, 1H), 4.43 (d, / = 14.6 Hz, 1H), 4.33 (d, / = 14.1 Hz, 1H), 2.91 (d, 7 = 2.2 Hz, 1H).

[00284] To a solution of triol 7 (2.35 g, 12.6 mmol, 1 equiv) and imidazole (4.27 g, 62.8 mmol, 8.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (62.8 mL) was added tert- butyl(chloro)diphenylsilane (7.26 mL, 28.3 mmol, 4.00 equiv) dropwise at 0 °C. The mixture was then warmed to 23 °C. Silylation of the primary alcohol was fast (generally complete within 5 min), while silylation of the propargylic alcohol was substantially slower - after 14 h of stirring at 23 °C, TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+KMn0 ₄ ) showed complete consumption of the mono-silylated intermediate (R = 0.61). Excess chlorosilane reagent was quenched with the addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (100 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred rapidly at 23 °C for 10 min. The mixture was then extracted with 20% ethyl acetate-hexanes (4 x 100 mL); the organic extracts were then combined, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a light golden-amber oil. This residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (500 g silica gel, eluting with hexanes initially, grading to 20% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to provide the bis-silyl ether 8 as a white, foaming, amorphous solid (5.87 g, 70%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ 7.80-7.78 (m, 2H), 7.76-7.71

[00285] In a 100-mL round-bottomed flask, isoxazoline N-oxide 8 (2.50 g, 3.77 mmol, 1 equiv) was dried by azeotropic removal of benzene. The dried starting material was then dissolved in trimethyl phosphite (15.1 mL), the flask was fitted with an oven-dried reflux condenser, and the reaction solution was heated to 100 °C in a pre-heated oil bath. After 3 h, TLC analysis (20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, PAA) showed complete consumption of starting material. The mixture was cooled to 0 °C and diluted in diethyl ether (200 mL); the organic product solution was then washed sequentially with 0.1 M aqueous HC1 solution (2 x 40 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (50 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a light yellow foaming solid. This residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (220 g silica gel, eluting with hexanes initially, grading to 20% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to provide isoxazoline 9 as a white, foaming, amorphous solid (1.76 g, 72%). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ 7.78-7.76 (m, 2H), 7.74-7.71 (m, 4H), 7.70-7.68 (m, 2H), 7.48-7.44 (m, 4H), 7.42-7.39 (m, 8H), 5.43 (app t, 7 = 8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.85 (dd, 7 = 4.0, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.60 (d, 7 = 13.1 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (d, 7 = 12.9 Hz, 1H), 4.39 (dd, 7 = 8.5, 3.9 Hz, 1H), 3.90 (d, 7 = 9.0 Hz, 1H), 2.48 (d, 7 = 2.3 Hz, 1H), 1.08 (s, 9H), 1.06 (s, 9H).

[00286] To a rapidly stirred, ice-cold suspension of isoxazoline 9 (2.00 g, 3.09 mmol, 1 equiv) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (3.27 mg, 15.4 mmol, 5.00 equiv) in acetonitrile (25.7 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (23.8 mL, 309 mmol, 100 equiv) dropwise over 2 min. The mixture was then warmed to 23 °C, and over the course of 1.5 h, the originally opaque white suspension gradually clarified, giving a light yellow, homogeneous solution. After 3.5, TLC analysis (20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, PAA) showed full consumption of isoxazoline starting material. The reaction mixture was transferred by cannula to a rapidly stirred, ice-cold biphasic mixture of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.0 M, 155 mL, 309 mmol) and dichloromethane (155 mL). Additional 2.0 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added as necessary to achieve pH > 8.0, and rapid stirring was maintained for 10 min. The layers were then separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 75 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give isoxazolidine 10 as a foaming, dull-white solid that was used in the next step without further purification. For characterization purposes, a small quantity (ca. 25 mg) of crude residue was purified by HPLC on a Waters SunFire Prep C18 column (5 μιη, 250 x 19 mm; eluting with 0.1% formic acid-25% acetonitrile-water initially, grading to 0.1 % formic acid-95% acetonitrile-water over 20 min, then holding at 0.1% formic acid-95% acetonitrile-water for 20 min with a flow rate of 15 mL/min; monitored by UV absorbance at 254 nm; R _t = 31.9 min) to give analytically pure sample with the following spectroscopic properties: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ 7.80-7.72 (m, 4H), 7.67-7.61 (m, 4H), 7.50-7.36 (m, 12H), 4.90 (dd, = 5.3, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 4.77 (dd, = 4.8, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 3.94-3.88 (m, 2H), 3.71 (dd, = 11.0, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 3.43 (dt, = 6.4, 3.6 Hz, 1H), 2.44 (d, = 2.2 Hz, 1H), 1.11 (s, 9H), 1.08 (s, 9H).

[00287] A solution of isoxazolidine 10 (theoretically 3.09 mmol, 1 equiv) and N-[2-

(trimethylsilyl)ethoxycarbonyloxy]succinimide (Teoc-OSu, 1.20 mg, 4.64 mmol, 1.50 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (7.73 mL) was treated with triethylamine (2.15 mL, 15.5 mmol, 5.00 equiv) at

23 °C, and the resulting solution was warmed to 40 °C. After 12 h of stirring at this temperature, LCMS analysis showed full consumption of starting material, and the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL). The resulting product solution was washed sequentially with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (2 x 40 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (40 mL). The washed solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide a foaming, gummy oil. This crude residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (120 g silica gel, eluting with hexanes initially, grading to

15% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to furnish alkynol 11 as a crispy white amorphous solid (1.61 g,

[00288] In a 100-mL borosilicate glass microwave reaction vial, alkynol 11 (1.60 g, 2.02 mmol, 1 equiv) was dried by azeotropic removal of benzene. To the dried starting material was added tungsten hexacarbonyl (177 mg, 0.504 mmol, 0.250 equiv) and 1,4- diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (452 mg, 4.03 mmol, 2.00 equiv). CAUTION: Tungsten hexacarbonyl is a volatile source of metal and of carbon monoxide. Manipulations of this reagent should be conducted within a well-ventilated fume hood. The vial was flushed with dry argon gas, and then anhydrous, degassed tetrahydrofuran (20.2 mL) was added at 23 °C. The resulting colorless solution attained a vibrant fluorescent yellow color within 3 minutes. The vial was sealed, and was transferred to a pre-heated oil bath (60 °C) positioned inside a photochemistry safety cabinet. The reaction mixture was heated with constant UV irradiation from an adjacent 200-Watt mercury-vapor bulb filtered through a water-cooled Pyrex glass jacket (CAUTION: Exposure to high-intensity UV light can cause irreversible vision loss - never open the safety cabinet when the UV lamp is on). Progress was monitored by TLC (20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+KMn0 ₄ ). After 2 d, full consumption of alkynol substrate was achieved, and the crude product mixture was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The goldenrod, oily residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (120 g silica gel, eluting with hexanes initially, grading to 15% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to provide glycal 12 as a viscous, colorless oil (1.40 g, 88%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, C ₆ D ₆ ) δ 7.93-7.91 (m, 2H), 7.88- 7.85 (m, 2H), 7.70-7.65 (m, 4H), 7.28-7.18 (m, 12H), 5.98 (dd, 7 = 6.5, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 4.69 (app dt, 7 = 6.5, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 4.64 (dd, 7 = 7.0, 4.1 Hz, 1H), 4.61 (app dt, 7 = 4.4, 2.1 Hz), 4.32-4.26 (m, 2H), 4.24-4.17 (m, 2H), 3.85 (dd, 7 = 10.9, 4.1 Hz, 1H), 3.69 (dd, 7 = 10.8, 7.0 Hz, 1H), 1.22 (s, 9H), 1.10 (s, 9H), 0.91 (t, 7 = 8.3 Hz, 2H), -0.07 (s, 9H).

[00289] A solution of glycal 12 (920 mg, 1.16 mmol, 1 equiv) in dichloromethane (11.6 μί) was cooled to 0 °C, whereupon dimethyldioxirane solution (0.0775 M in acetone, 17.9 mL, 1.39 μιηοΐ, 1.20 equiv) was added dropwise over 3 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 15 min, at which point TLC analysis (N¾ silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) indicated full consumption of starting material. The mixture was then

concentrated under a stream of dry argon, and the residue was dried by azeotropic removal of benzene to afford glycal epoxide 13 as a colorless oil that was suitable for use without further purification (quantitative yield, >95% purity by NMR). 1H NMR (500 MHz, C ₆ D ₆ ) δ 7.89- 7.86 (m, 2H), 7.80-7.76 (m, 2H), 7.65-7.59 (m, 4H), 7.22-7.13 (m, 12H), 4.65 (app dt, 7 = 2.3, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 4.61 (dd, 7 = 7.1, 4.3 Hz, 1H), 4.31 (d, 7 = 5.1 Hz, 1H), 4.28-4.17 (m, 2H), 4.12 (d, 7 = 2.0, 1H), 3.88 (d, 7 = 4.9 Hz, 1H), 3.74 (dd, 7 = 10.9, 4.3 Hz, 1H), 3.53 (dd, 7 = 10.8, 7.2 Hz, 1H), 2.94 (app t, 7 = 1.1 Hz, 1H), 1.19 (s, 9H), 1.04 (s, 9H), 0.88 (t, 7 = 8.3 Hz, 2H), -0.11 (s, 9H).

[00290] In a 25-mL round-bottomed flask fitted with a magnetic stir bar, glycal epoxide 13 (321 mg, 396 mmol, 1 equiv) was dried by azeotropic removal of benzene. Once dried, the starting material was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (3.96 mL), and the resulting solution was chilled to -78 °C. Once cooled, (methylthio)trimethylsilane (169 μί, 1.19 mmol, 3.00 equiv) was added; next, trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (14.3 μί, 79.0 μιηοΐ, 0.200 equiv) was added dropwise. After 5 min, TLC analysis (N¾ silica gel, 2% methanol-20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+CAM) showed complete conversion of starting material to a slightly more polar product. At this point the reaction was quenched with the addition of tetra-n- butylammonium fluoride solution (1.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 2.8 mL, 2.8 mmol, 7.0 equiv), and the mixture was warmed to 23 °C. After 1 h of stirring at 23 °C, LCMS analysis showed that global desilylation was complete. The mixture was loaded directly onto a column of silica gel (20 g) that had been pre-equilibrated with ethyl acetate; the column was eluted first with ethyl acetate (300 mL), then with 5% methanol-ethyl acetate (300 mL), and finally with 10% methanol-ethyl acetate (600 mL). Fractions containing product were identified by TLC (10% methanol-ethyl acetate, PAA), and these fractions were pooled and concentrated to afford isoxazolidine triol 14 (103 mg, 110%) that was sufficiently pure for use in the subsequent N-0 bond cleavage reaction.

[00291] For characterization purposes, a small quantity (ca. 20 mg) of this product was subjected to preparative HPLC (with a flow rate of 15 mL/min, eluting with 0.1%

trifluoroacetic acid-1% acetonitrile-water for 2 min, then grading to 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-20% acetonitrile-water over 18 min; monitored by UV absorbance at 210 nm; product R _t = 8.75 min) to give the trifluoroacetic acid salt of 14 · CF ₃ CO ₂ H in pure form. 1H NMR (hydrotrifluoroacetate salt, 500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.27 (d, 7 = 5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.98 (d, 7 = 2.0 Hz, 1H), 4.71 (dd, 7 = 3.8, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 4.12 (dd, 7 = 10.1, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 4.10 (app t, 7 = 5.5 Hz, 1H), 3.99 (dd, 7 = 10.0, 3.8 Hz, 1H), 3.87 (dd, 7 = 12.0, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 3.83 (dd, 7 = 12.0, 6.0 Hz, 1H), 2.14 (s, 3H). ¹⁹ F NMR (hydrotrifluoroacetate salt, 471 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ -77.3 (s, 3F).

[00292] To a solution of isoxazolidine triol 14 (234 mg, 986 μηιοΐ, 1 equiv) in 50% v/v acetic acid-water (9.86 niL) was added activated zinc powder (258 mg, 3.94 mmol, 4.00 equiv). The mixture was heated to 35 °C with stirring, and after 4 h, LCMS showed complete conversion of starting material to aminotetraol product. The mixture was cooled before it was filtered through a Celite pad. The filter cake was washed with methanol (3 x 5 mL), and the combined filtrates were concentrated to dryness. Residual acetic acid was removed by repeated concentration from 50% v/v methanol-toluene. Once dried, the crude residue, containing the hydroacetate salt of the desired product as well as zinc acetate as a major impurity, was dissolved in methanol (20 mL) and was treated with Amberlyst A26 resin (hydroxide form, 4.00 g). After stirring the mixture at 23 °C for 1 h, the ion-exchage beads were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a white solid. This crude residue was finally purified by flash-column chromatography (25 silica gel, eluting with 1% ammonium hydroxide- 10% methanol-dichloromethane initially, grading to 10% ammonium hydroxide-40% methanol-dichloromethane) to provide methylthio-8-norlincosamine (15) as a white solid (182 mg, 77%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, D ₂ 0) δ 5.17 (d, 7 = 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.95-3.92 (m, 2H), 3.84 (d, 7 = 9.2 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (dd, 7 = 11.0, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 3.54 (dd, 7 = 10.2, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 3.38 (dd, 7 = 11.2, 6.1 Hz, 1H), 2.91 (ddd, 7 = 9.0, 6.1, 3.2 Hz, 1H), 1.92 (s, 3H).

FSA-214043 [00293] In a 2-5 mL glass microwave vial fitted with a magnetic stir bar, methylthio-8- norlincos amine (15, 100 mg, 418 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.09 mL). Triethylamine (262 μΐ,, 1.88 mmol, 4.50 equiv) and Ν,Ο- bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (224 μί, 836 μιηοΐ, 2.00 equiv) were added next, and the solution was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h to ensure complete Osilylation. After this period, irafts-4-ft-propyl-L-hygric acid hydrochloride (16) (104 mg, 501 μιηοΐ, 1.20 equiv) and HATU (222 mg, 585 μιηοΐ, 1.40 equiv) were added, causing the reaction mixture to attain a canary yellow hue. Following 4 h of stirring at 23 °C, LCMS analysis showed complete conversion of aminotetraol starting material and its (oligo)silylated congeners to amide products. The reaction mixture was consequently diluted with ethyl acetate (25 mL) and the diluted solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 10 mL), and the combined organic layers were then washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (15 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated; and the residue thus obtained was re-dissolved in 50% v/v methanol-acetic acid. This colorless solution was stirred at 40 °C for 24 h to ensure complete desilylation before it was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. Residual acetic acid was removed by repeated

concentration of the mixture from 50% v/v methanol-toluene. Once thoroughly dried, the crude residue was treated with methanol (10 mL) and Amberlyst A26 resin (hydroxide form, 2.00 g). The resulting mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h before the ion-exchange beads were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated. This light amber-colored oily residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (18 g silica gel, eluting with 0.5% ammonium hydroxide-5% methanol-dichloromethane initially; grading to 1% ammonium hydroxide-10% methanol-dichloromethane) to furnish 8-norlincomycin (FSA-214043) as a light yellow, foaming solid (121 mg, 74%). ¹ H NMR (500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.29 (d, J = 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.17 (d, J = 8.9 Hz, 1H), 4.12-4.08 (m, 2H), 3.78 (app dt, J = 6.6, 5.1 Hz, 2H), 3.72 (dd, = 10.7, 4.2 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (dd, = 10.1, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 3.21 (dd, 7 = 8.7, 6.0 Hz, 1H), 2.95 (dd, J = 10.6, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 2.19-2.15 (m, 1H), 2.08 (s, 3H), 2.05 (dd, J = 10.1, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 1.99 (ddd, = 13.0, 8.2, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 1.84 (app dt, = 12.9, 10.3 Hz, 1H), 1.36-1.31 (m, 4H), 0.92 (t, = 6.5 Hz, 3H).

[00294] In a 2-5 mL glass microwave vial, an ice-cold solution of 8-norlincomycin (FSA- 214043, 90.0 mg, 229 μιτιοΐ, 1 equiv) in pyridine (382 μί) was treated sequentially with hexamethyldisilazane (121 μί, 578 μιτιοΐ, 2.52 equiv) and chlorotrimethylsilane (168 μί, 1.31 mmol, 5.72 equiv). Following the addition of these reagents, the mixture was warmed to 23 °C, and stirring was maintained for 2 h. The mixture was then concentrated to dryness in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between hexanes (10 mL) and water (10 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with additional hexanes (3 x 5 mL). The combined organic extracts were then dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to afford crude, persilylated 8-norlincomycin as a brilliant white solid. This material was then suspended in methanol (887 μί), and 80% v/v acetic acid-water (133 μί) was added to the suspension, causing the mixture to become a homogeneous, colorless solution. Desilylation was monitored by TLC (40% ethyl acetate- hexanes, CAM; persilylated intermediate R = 0.64; alcohol product R = 0.16), and after 40 min of stirring at 23 °C, the reaction was judged to be complete. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel containing hexanes (10 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The mixture was shaken vigorously, and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with fresh hexanes (3 x 5 mL), and the combined organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 mL). The washed organic solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide 2,3,4-tris-0-trimethylsilyl-8-norlincomycin (17) as a white, foaming, amorphous solid (115 mg, 93%). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ 7.73 (d, / = 8.8 Hz, 1H), 5.22 (d, J = 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.17-4.11 (m, 3H), 3.92 (br d, J = 11.0 Hz, 1H), 3.81 (d, 7 = 2.6 Hz, 1H), 3.70 (br d, J = 10.8 Hz, 1H), 3.66 (dd, J = 9.4, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 3.16-3.12 (m, 1H), 2.94 (dd, J = 10.8, 4.2 Hz, 1H), 2.57 (br, 1H), 2.34 (s, 3H), 2.07 (s, 3H), 2.04-2.02 (m, 2H), 1.97-1.93 (m, 1H), 1.85-1.80 (m, 1H), 1.30-1.24 (m, 4H), 0.87 (t, J = 6.7 Hz, 3H), 0.17 (s, 9H), 0.12 (s, 9H), 0.11 (s, 9H).

triethylamine (92 μί, 660 μιηοΐ, 8.0 equiv) and sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (52 mg, 330 μιηοΐ, 4.0 equiv) at 23 °C. After 15 min, TLC analysis (10% methanol-dichloromethane, PAA) showed that reaction progress had stalled, and additional portions of triethylamine (92 660 μιηοΐ, 8.0 equiv) and sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (52 mg, 330 μιηοΐ, 4.0 equiv) were added. After an additional 15 min of stirring at 23 °C, TLC analysis showed the reaction was complete. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (10 mL), and the diluted solution was transferred to a separatory funnel containing saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The layers were shaken vigorously, then separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with fresh portions of dichloromethane (3 x 5 mL). The combined organic extracts were then washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 mL) before being dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide crude aldehyde 18 as a dull white solid. This material was unstable toward column

chromatography, and thus an analytically pure sample could not be obtained; instead, purity of >85% was assumed based on crude 1H NMR analysis (CDC1 ₃ ), and this material was used directly in subsequent transformations whereafter 2-step yields were determined.

To this solution was added benzoic anhydride (52.8 g, 233 mmol, 7.75 equiv), followed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (368 mg, 3.01 mmol, 0.10 equiv). Upon addition of benzoic anhydride, the solution became cold (ca. 5 °C). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature, and after 2 h, TLC analysis (20% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+KMn0 ₄ ) showed the reaction was complete. Excess benzoic anhydride was quenched with the dropwise addition of N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (18.1 mL, 166 mmol, 5.50 equiv), and the mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 10 min to ensure complete reaction. The mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), and the diluted mixture was washed repeatedly with IN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (150 mL each), until the aqueous washes were acidic (pH < 0). The organic solution was then washed with water (150 mL), saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (150 mL), and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (150 mL). The washed organic product solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to provide tri-Obenzoyl-D- galactal (24) as a foaming white solid (12.6 g, 91 %) suitable for use in the subsequent

[00318] To a solution of glycal 24 (12.6 g, 27.5 mmol, 1 equiv) in dichloromethane (139 mL) was added acetone (30.3 mL, 412 mmol, 15.0 equiv) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (278 mL). The resulting biphasic mixture was chilled to 0 °C before a solution of Oxone monopersulfate compound (50.7 g) in water (194 mL) was added dropwise. Rapid stirring (>700 rpm) was maintained at 0 °C throughout the course of the reaction to ensure vigorous mixing of the two phases. After 6 h, TLC analysis (30% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) showed complete consumption of the starting material, and the mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, where the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2 x 100 mL), and the combined organic phases were then washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (200 mL) and water (200 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to afford epoxide 25 as a white, foaming solid (12.4 g, 95%).

[00319] A 200-mL round-bottomed flask fitted with a stir bar and charged with 3.00 powdered, activated 4A molecular sieves was flame-dried. Once cooled, the flask was then charged with epoxide 25 (3.00 g, 6.32 mmol, 1 equiv) and anhydrous ie/ -butyl methyl ether (63.2 mL). The resulting suspension was chilled to -78 °C, whereupon

(methylthio)trimethylsilane (2.69 mL, 19.0 mmol, 3.00 equiv) was added. Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1.14 mL, 6.32 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added dropwise next, and stirring was continued at -78 °C. After 50 min, TLC analysis (N¾ silica gel, 30% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+CAM) showed disappearance of both starting material and of a polar spot believed to arise by quenching of unreacted oxocarbenium intermediate during TLC spotting. A 5% v/v triethylamine-dichloromethane solution (88.2 mL, 31.6 mmol triethylamine, 5.00 equiv) was added before the reaction mixture was warmed to 23 °C.

[00320] To a stirred solution of trimethylsilyl ether 26 (6.15 g, 10.3 mmol, 1 equiv) in methanol (103 mL) were added 2 drops of IN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution at 23 °C. Within 10 minutes, TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV) demonstrated complete consumption of starting material, with concomitant formation of desilylated intermediate (R = 0.56, 40% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA). The stir bar was removed from the flask, and the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo; in order to remove residual methanol, the residue was then re-dissolved in toluene (100 mL) and this solution was re-concentrated. To this dried residue were then added pyridine (25.8 mL), benzoic anhydride (2.80 g, 12.4 mmol, 1.20 equiv), and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (126 mg, 1.03 mmol, 0.100 equiv) sequentially. After 1 h of stirring at 23 °C, TLC analysis (40% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) showed complete consumption of the intermediate alcohol, and excess benzoic anhydride was quenched with the dropwise addition of N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (563 μί, 5.15 mmol, 0.500 equiv). Following this quench, the mixture was incubated at 23 °C for 10 min before toluene (100 mL) was added and the mixture concentrated in vacuo (to remove excess pyridine). The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (250 mL), and the organic solution was washed sequentially with IN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (3 x 100 mL), water (100 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 mL), and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (100 mL).

[00321] Sodium acetate buffer was prepared by dissolving acetic acid (5.71 mL, 0.1 mmol) in water (450 mL) to which a small quantity of aqueous bromocresol green solution had been added as pH indicator. Aqueous sodium hydroxide (IN) solution was then added until pH 4.5-5.0 was achieved (indicated by aquamarine color, and corroborated by testing with a pH strip).

[00322] In a 1-L round-bottomed flask fitted with a large magnetic stir bar, tetra-O-benzoyl galactoside 27 (5.48 g, 8.74 mmol, 1 equiv) was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (131 mL). To this solution was added freshly prepared acetate buffer (306 mL), followed by Candida rugosa lipase (11.0 g, type VII, >700 unit/mg, Aldrich). After the headspace of the vessel was flushed with argon, rapid stirring (900 rpm) was initiated, and the heterogeneous mixture was heated to 35 °C in a pre-heated oil bath. After 2 d, TLC analysis (40% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) showed complete consumption of starting material.

The filtrate was separated, and the organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 ml), water (100 mL), and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (100 mL). The washed solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a foaming syrup. This crude residue was purified by flash-column chromatography (220 g silica gel; eluting with 10% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 40% ethyl acetate- hexanes) to afford alcohol 28 as a white, foaming solid (3.82 g, 84%). 1H NMR (500 MHz,

After 2 h, TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) showed complete consumption of starting material. Consequently, and with constant stirring throughout, the mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (200 mL); the diluted mixture was then treated with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (75 mL), followed by aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (50 wt%, 75 mL). The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h, at which time both the organic and aqueous phases had become clear. These layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with fresh saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (75 mL), then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (75 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide aldehyde 29 as a white solid (4.00 g, 106%).

[00327] In a 2-5 mL microwave vial, sulfinimine 30 (100 mg, 160 mmol, 1 equiv) was dried by azeotropic removal of benzene. The dried starting material was then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (802 μί), and the resulting solution was chilled to -50 °C in an acetone bath. With constant stirring throughout, a solution of (l,3-dioxan-2-ylethyl)magnesium bromide (0.5 M, 481 μί, 240 μιηοΐ, 1.50 equiv) was added dropwise, and the temperature of the cooling bath was allowed to warm to -40 °C gradually over approximately 15 min. After 1 h of stirring at that temperature, TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV) showed full consumption of starting material. Excess Grignard reagent was quenched with the addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (1 mL), and the mixture was warmed to 23 °C. The warmed mixture then diluted with additional saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (5 mL), and the diluted mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 6 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (5 mL), and the washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to provide crude sulfinamide as a colorless film that produced a foaming white solid upon re-concentration from hexanes.

[00330] In an 8-mL glass scintillation vial, triester 33 · CF ₃ CO ₂ H (theoretically 53 μηιοΐ, crude product of reductive cyclization) was dissolved in ethanol (960 Hydrazine (anhydrous, 96 was added, the reaction vial was capped with a PTFE-lined screw-cap, and the mixture was heated to 60 °C with stirring in a pre-heated oil bath. After 15 h, LCMS analysis showed the reaction was complete, and the reaction mixture was consequently diluted with toluene. The diluted mixture was concentrated under a stream of argon, and residual hydrazine was removed by repeated concentration from 50% v/v toluene-methanol. The white solid residue thus obtained was purified by flash-column chromatography (4.0 g silica gel; eluting with 2% ammonium hydroxide-5% methanol-dichloromethane initially, grading to 5% ammonium hydroxide- 10% methanol-dichloromethane) to provide aminotriol 34 (10.5 mg, 79%, 2 steps) as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.27 (d, J = 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.10 (dd, = 10.1, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.01 (dd, J = 3.3, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 3.95 (dd, J = 7.5, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 3.59 (dd, 7 = 10.1, 3.3 Hz, 1H), 3.44 (app q, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 3.02-2.91 (m, 2H), 2.07 (s, 3H), 2.07-2.01 (m, 1H), 1.90-1.77 (m, 2H), 1.62 (app dq, J = 12.7, 8.4 Hz, 1H).

[00331] In a flame-dried, 0.5-2 mL conical microwave vial, aminotriol 34 (10.0 mg, 40.0 μιηοΐ, 1.00 equiv) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (201 μί). The resulting solution was chilled to 0 °C, whereupon triethylamine (25.2 μί, 180 μηιοΐ, 4.50 equiv) and N,0-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (16.1 μί, 60.0 μηιοΐ, 1.50 equiv) were added. The mixture was allowed to warm to 23 °C with stirring over the course of 1 h, at which point irafts-4-ft-propyl-L-hygric acid hydrochloride (16, 10.8 mg, 52.0 μιηιηοΐ, 1.30 equiv) was added, followed by HATU (22.9 mg, 60.0 μιηοΐ, 1.50 equiv). The dull sand- brown cloudy mixture adopted a vibrant canary-yellow color upon addition of HATU. The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 2 h, at which point LCMS analysis indicated full

consumption of aminotriol and its (oligo)trimethylsilylated congeners. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (15 mL), and the diluted solution was washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (7 mL), water (7 mL), and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (7 mL). The washed organic solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The colorless residue was then re-dissolved in 4 mL of 50% v/v methanol-lN aqueous hydrochloric acid, and the resulting solution was incubated at 23 °C for 30 min to effect global desilylation. The mixture was then passed through a 0.2-μιη PTFE syringe filter, the filtrate was concentrated, and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC-MS on a Waters SunFire Prep C18 column (5 μιη, 250 x 19 mm; eluting with 0.1% formic acid-5% acetonitrile-water, grading to 0.1% formic acid-30% acetonitrile-water over 40 min, with a flow rate of 15 niL/min; monitored by UV absorbance at 210 nm and ESI+ selected ion monitoring [m/z = 403] ; Rt = 19.0 min; mixed fractions containing product contaminated with tetramethylurea [ESI+ m/z = 117] were discarded) to afford pyrrolidinamide analog FSA-216092 · HC0 ₂ H (4.2 mg, 23%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 8.28 (br s, 1H), 5.29 (d, = 5.5 Hz, 1H), 4.43 (dd, = 10.3, 6.7 Hz, 1H), 4.35 (app t, = 7.5 Hz, 1H), 4.11-4.08 (m, 2H), 3.78 (d, = 3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.75 (dd, = 10.6, 6.6 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (ddd, = 10.9, 8.8, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 3.58 (ddd, = 10.2, 3.5, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 3.44 (app q, = 8.5 Hz, 1H), 2.89 (s, 3H), 2.87 (app t, = 11.2 Hz, 1H), 2.44- 2.37 (m, 1H), 2.35-2.27 (m, 2H), 2.24-2.17 (m, 1H), 2.10-1.92 (m, 3H), 2.06 (s, 3H), 1.52- 1.48 (m, 2H), 1.44-1.32 (m, 2H), 0.96 (t, = 7.2 Hz, 3H).

[00332] In a 100-mL round-bottomed flask, lithium chloride (892 mg, 21.0 mmol) was flame-dried. Once the apparatus had cooled, activated zinc powder (2.50 g, 38.2 mmol) was added, followed by tetrahydrofuran (19.1 mL). The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 10 min to ensure complete saturation of the solution with lithium chloride; then 1,2-dibromoethane (33 μί, 382 μιηοΐ) and trimethylsilyl chloride (122 μL·, 956 μιηοΐ) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 10 min before a solution of prenyl chloride (2.16 mL, 19.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (19.1 mL) was added dropwise via cannula over a period of approximately 5 min. Zinc insertion was monitored by aliquot NMR: After 2.5 h, a small aliquot of the reaction mixture (-100 μί) was diluted with chloroform-d (-300 μί), and this mixture was filtered through a cotton plug to remove insoluble zinc solids. 1H-NMR analysis of this mixture revealed complete consumption of prenyl chloride, signaling completion of the reaction. Stirring was discontinued, and the suspension was allowed to settle for 1 h. The supernatant was then transferred via cannula to an oven-dried Shlenck bomb flask for storage. Titration of this reagent solution against iodine indicated a reagent concentration of 0.40 M (theoretical titer = 0.50 M, 80% yield).

[00333] An oven-dried 25-mL round-bottomed flask was charged with a stir bar and freshly titrated prenylzinc chloride-lithium chloride reagent solution (2.4 mL, 0.40 M in tetrahydrofuran, 960 μιηοΐ, 3.0 equiv). This mixture was then chilled to -78 °C before a solution of sulfinimine 30 (200 mg, 320 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) was added by cannula. After 3 h of stirring at -78 °C, the mixture was warmed to -60 °C. The mixture was stirred at -60 °C for 24 h, whereupon TLC analysis (60% ethyl acetate-hexanes, UV+PAA) demonstrated complete consumption of starting material. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL), and excess prenylzinc reagent was quenched with the addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (20 mL). The resulting biphasic mixture, once warmed to 23 °C, was separated; and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 20 mL). The combined organic extracts were then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide a solid white residue.

This residue was re-dissolved in anhydrous methanol (443 was added at 23 °C (upon acidification, the colorless methanolic solution became an opaque white suspension). After 5 min, removal of the ie/t-butanesulfinyl group was confirmed by LCMS analysis. The reaction mixture was diluted with toluene (1.5 mL), and the mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was then re-dissolved in methanol (10 mL), the resulting solution was treated with Amberlyst A26 resin (hydroxide form, 1.50 g), and the mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h prior to filtration to remove the ion-exchange beads.

Trans-A-n- propyl-L-hygric acid hydrochloride (16, 18 mg, 87 μιηοΐ, 1.2 equiv) and HATU (36 mg, 94 μιηοΐ, 1.3 equiv) were then added sequentially, and the resulting canary-yellow solution was stirred at 23 °C for 3 h, at which point LCMS analysis demonstrated full consumption of aminotriol starting material and its (oligo)trimethylsilylated congeners. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (25 mL), and the diluted mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1 : 1, 10 mL). The washed organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a colorless residue. This residue was re- dissolved in 1 : 1 methanol-lN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (5 mL); this solution was incubated at 23 °C for 1 h to ensure complete desilylation of the coupling product mixture, and was then concentrated to afford a dull yellow oily residue.

[00347] In a 25-mL round-bottomed flask, ethynyltrimethylsilane (51.7 μί, 369 μmol, 2.30 equiv) was dissolved in hexanes (2.92 mL). This solution was chilled to -78 °C before it was treated with the dropwise addition of freshly titrated n-butyllithium solution (2.30 M in hexane, 160 μί, 369 μιηοΐ, 2.30 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 15 min, then warmed to 0 °C for 15 min to ensure complete deprotonation. The lithium acetylide solution was then chilled again to -78 °C before a solution of sulfinimine 31 (100 mg, 160 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (1.29 μί) was added dropwise by cannula. After 5 min, FIA-HRMS analysis showed complete consumption of sulfinimine starting material, and excess lithium acetylide was quenched with the addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (5 mL). The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 10 mL), the combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to provide an orange-colored oil. 1H-NMR analysis indicated that propargyl sulfinamide product (39) was sufficiently pure for use in subsequent deprotection operations without further purification (113 mg, 98%, dr >94:6). 1H NMR (600

[00348] In a conical 0.5-2 mL glass microwave vial, sulfinamide 39 (38 mg, 53 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) was dissolved in ethanol (200 proof, 48 μί). Anhydrous hydrazine (48 μί) was added, and after stirring at 23 °C for 1.5 h, FIA-HRMS showed debenzoylation was complete. The mixture was diluted with toluene (1 mL), and the diluted solution was concentrated in vacuo. The dried residue was then dissolved in anhydrous methanol (130 μί) before hydrogen chloride solution (4 M in 1,4-dioxane, 130 μί) was added. Upon acidification of the reaction mixture, a thick white precipitate formed immediately, and within 5 min, LCMS analysis showed removal of the ie/ -butanesulfinyl group was complete. The mixture was diluted with toluene (1 mL) and was concentrated in vacuo; in order to remove residual hydrogen chloride, the residue was re-concentrated twice more from 25% methanol-toluene. The dried residue was then dissolved in methanol (1.0 mL), and the solution was treated with

Amberlyst A26 resin (hydroxide form, 200 mg) and potassium carbonate (2.0 mg). After 1 h of stirring at 23 °C, LCMS analysis showed that removal of the trimethylsilyl group was complete, and the mixture was filtered through a Celite pad in order to remove insoluble salts and the ion-exchange beads. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a light yellow, oily residue that was purified by flash-column chromatography (4.0 g silica gel; eluting with 0.5% ammonium hydroxide-5% methanol-dichloromethane initially, grading to 2% ammonium hydroxide-2% methanol-dichloromethane) to provide pure aminotriol 40 (2.9 mg, 23%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.31 (d, 7 = 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.16 (dd, 7 = 3.3, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 4.11 (dd, 7 = 10.1, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.09 (dd, 7 = 7.9, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 3.97 (dd, 7 = 7.9, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (dd, 7 = 10.0, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 2.80 (d, 7 = 2.3 Hz, 1H), 2.10 (s, 3H).

To this reaction mixture were then added irafts-4-ft-propyl-L-hygric acid hydrochloride (16, 3.1 mg, 15 μιηοΐ, 1.2 equiv) and HATU (6.1 mg, 16 μιηοΐ, 1.3 equiv). Upon addition of HATU, the reaction mixture attained a canary yellow color. After stirring this mixture at 23 °C for 2 h, LCMS analysis showed complete consumption of aminotriol starting material and its (oligo)trimethylsilylated congeners. Excess HATU and activated prolyl intermediate were quenched with the addition of IN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (400 μί) and methanol (400 μί). The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 10 min, whereupon LCMS analysis showed complete desilylation of (oligo)trimethylsilylated product derivatives. The mixture was concentrated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen, and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC-MS on a Waters SunFire Prep C 18 column (5 μηι, 250 x 19 mm; eluting with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-15% acetonitrile-water, grading to 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-50% acetonitrile-water over 40 min, with a flow rate of 15 mL/min; monitored by UV absorbance at 210 nm and ESI+ selected ion monitoring [m/z = 387] ; R _t = 11.7 min) to provide FSA-217031 · 2 CF ₃ CO ₂ H as a white solid (2.3 mg, 37%). ¹ H NMR (500 MHz, CD ₃ OD) δ 5.32 (d, = 5.7 Hz, 1H), 5.01 (app dt, = 9.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.27 (d, / = 9.3 Hz, 1H), 4.16 (dd, / = 9.6, 7.1 Hz, 1H), 4.11 (dd, / = 10.0, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 3.91 (app dt, 7 = 3.1, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 3.77 (dd, = 10.9, 6.9 Hz, 1H), 3.61 (ddd, = 10.1, 3.3, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 2.93 (s, 3H), 2.89 (app t, = 11.1 Hz, 1H), 2.80 (dd, 7 = 2.5, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 2.41-2.33 (m, 1H), 2.25-2.18 (m, 2H), 2.12 (s, 3H), 1.51-1.45 (m, 2H), 1.42-1.33 (m, 2H), 0.96 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 3H).

[00350] A 10-20 mL glass microwave vial was charged with a stir bar, 7-0- methanesulfonyl-2,3,4-tris-C ⁾ -(trimethylsilyl)lincomycin (41, 400 mg, 570 μιτιοΐ, 1 equiv), ²⁶ sodium azide (371 mg, 5.70 mmol, 10 equiv), and anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (5.70 mL). The vial was sealed, stirring was initiated, and the mixture was heated to 80 °C in a preheated oil bath behind a blast shield. After 3 h, LCMS analysis showed complete

disappearance of (oligo)desilylated starting material; the mixture was consequently transferred to a separatory funnel containing 50% v/v saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution-saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (20 mL). The mixture was extracted exhaustively with ethyl acetate (5 x 20 mL), and the combined organic extracts were then washed with fresh saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (20 mL). The washed organic solution was then dried over sodium sulfate, the dried solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was re-dissolved in methanol (4 mL), and IN aqueous hydrogen chloride solution (4 mL) was added to effect desilylation of the product mixture. The mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h before it was concentrated in vacuo. Residual N,N- dimethylformamide was removed by re-concentration from 50% v/v methanol-toluene. The dried residue was then re-dissolved in methanol (14 mL), and the solution was treated with Amberlyst A26 resin (hydroxide form, 4.0 g). The resulting suspension was stirred at 23 °C for 1 h before the ion-exchange beads were removed by filtration. The filtrate was

concentrated to afford crude 7-(S)-deoxyazidolincomycin (FSA-215038, 195 mg, 79%) in its free-base form as a dull white solid. This material was suitable for use subsequent steps without further purification.

To this solution was added platinum(IV) oxide (71.6 mg, 1.00 equiv). To the neck of the flask was then fitted a 3- way stopcock, to which a hydrogen-filled balloon was attached. By use of the 3-way stopcock, the headspace of the reaction vessel was evacuated, then back-filled with hydrogen gas; this procedure was repeated 5 times. After 2.5 h of stirring at 23 °C under 1 atm of hydrogen, the reaction mixture was judged to be complete by LCMS analysis. The headspace of the reaction was carefully replaced with nitrogen gas, and activated charcoal (250 mg) was added to adsorb platinum particles. After stirring 2 min, the platinum was fully adsorbed, and the black suspension was filtered through a pad of Celite (2 x 5 mL methanol rinses). The filtrate was concentrated to give a colorless oil.

[00356] As o/ zo-nitrobenzylamines are photosensitive, all operations were conducted with careful exclusion of light, using aluminum foil to shield flasks, test tubes, and sample vials whenever possible. In a 1-dram glass vial fitted with a magnetic stir bar and a PTFE-lined screw cap, 7-(S)-deoxyaminolincomycin dihydroacetate (FSA-215049 · 2 CH ₃ CO ₂ H, 13 mg, 25 μιηοΐ, 1 equiv) was dissolved in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (250 μί), and acetic acid (14 μί, 250 μιηοΐ, 10 equiv) was added. 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde (4.5 mg, 30 μιηοΐ, 1.2 equiv) was added, followed by powdered, activated 4 A molecular sieves (13 mg). The vial was sealed, and the mixture was stirred at 23 °C for 15 min before sodium cyanoborohydride (3.9 mg, 62 μιηοΐ, 2.5 equiv) was added. After 20 min of additional stirring, LCMS analysis indicated >90% conversion of starting material to mono-nitrobenzylated intermediate; at this point, formalin (3.7 μί, 49 μιηοΐ, 2.0 equiv) was added. After 2 h, LCMS analysis indicated incomplete conversion to tertiary amine product; additional formalin (3.7 μί, 49 μιηοΐ, 2.0 equiv) and sodium cyanoborohydride (3.9 mg, 62 μιηοΐ, 2.5 equiv) were added sequentially, and the vial was re-sealed. After 22 h of stirring, the reaction was judged to be complete by LCMS analysis, and the mixture was diluted with methanol (2 mL). The diluted mixture was filtered through a 0.2-μιη PTFE filter, and the filtrate was concentrated to give a dull white solid.
