Asymmetric Synthesis and Antitumor Activity of Spiro- Oxadiazole Derivatives from 1,4：3,6-Dianhydro-D-fructose

A series of spiro-oxadiazoles were synthesized from 1,4：3,6-dianhydro-D-fructose and hydrazides via a stereoselective two-step reaction sequence. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established by spectral analysis. The absolute configuration of compound 2a was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antitumor activity, showing that these compounds have poor inhibitory activities against A549, MGC-803 tumor cells.
