Diastereoselective reduction of the tricarbonyl moiety in bicyclic tetramates giving pyroglutamates
The reduction of C(6)-acyl bicyclic tetramic acids has been achieved with complete diastereoselectivity via catalytic hydrogenation using PtO2. The resulting pyroglutamates had potent antibacterial and anticancer properties and will allow the preparation of simple mimics of pyroglutamate-containing...
