Abstract
The synthesis of chiral pyrrolidinones derived from threonine, making use of a Dieckmann or aldol ring closure, is described. Compounds were found to exhibit antibacterial activity, for which the correlation with various physiochemical parameters was examined. This chiral tetramate scaffold may provide a useful template for fragment-based drug design providing rapid access to novel antibacterial compound libraries.
