ABSTRACT
N-carbamoyl and N-acyl diamine derivatives were synthesized from symmetrical diamines by their addition to iso(thio)cyanates, cleavage reaction of acid anhydride, or N-acylation by acyl chloride. (1R,2R)-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane [(1R,2R)-1], meso-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (meso-1), (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine [(1R,2R)-3], or meso-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (meso-3) were used as the starting symmetrical diamines. The target compounds synthesized herein were evaluated for antiviral activity with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). A few derivatives of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane [(1R,2R)-7aa and cis-7b] with adamantyl group(s) showed significant antiviral activity (EC(50)=16.0, 27.0 microg/ml).

The closure by cyclization with diethyl carbonate (EtO)(2)CO from aminoalcohols 1 as starting material can lead to the oxazolidinones 2a, b and 2c, respectively. In the reaction of trans-isomer (6) and (EtO)(2)CO, isolated products were also only 5-membered oxazolidinone derivative (7), containing its dehydrated derivative 8. The preferential formation of the 5-membered oxazolidinone ring system apparently indicated that this process (5-Exo-Trig ring closure) is more favorable than that of 6- or 7-membered ring derivative (3 or 9) by 6- or 7-Exo-Trig ring closure.

The preparation of amide derivatives (4) by N-acylation of unprotected alpha-amino acids is easily achieved via readily available benzotriazolyl carboxylates (2a-d) or succinimidyl carboxylates (2e-f). These intermediates (2) are prepared from reaction of carboxylic acids (1) with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HO-Bt) or N-hydroxysuccinimide (HO-Su) in the presence of equimolar amounts of 1-ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (WSCI). The overall yields of the target compounds (4) were excellent, and this two-stage procedure could be applicable as an alternative procedure for one-pot reaction.
