Stereoselective dihydroxylation in highly stereospecific reactions with the OsO4\/NMO (N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) system produced \u03b1,\u03b2-dihydroxy 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Pinane-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained similarly from acids by coupling with acyl hydrazines followed by POCl3-mediated dehydrative ring closure. In the case of the arane counterpart, the rearrangement of the constrained carane system occurred with the loss of chirality under the same conditions. Stereoselective dihydroxylation with OsO4\/NMO produced \u03b1,\u03b2-dihydroxy 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The prepared diols were applied as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. All compounds were screened in vitro for their antiproliferative effects against four malignant human adherent cell lines by means of the MTT assay with the O-acylated amidoxime intermediates exerting remarkable antiproliferative action.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms19010081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,28]],"date-time":"2017-12-28T11:24:33Z","timestamp":1514460273000},"page":"81","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Stereoselective Synthesis, Synthetic and Pharmacological Application of Monoterpene-Based 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"T\u00edmea","family":"Gonda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P\u00e9ter","family":"B\u00e9rdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacodynamics and Biopharmacy, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3243-5300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Istv\u00e1n","family":"Zupk\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacodynamics and Biopharmacy, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"},{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Natural Products, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1066-5287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ferenc","family":"F\u00fcl\u00f6p","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"},{"name":"Stereochemistry Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zsolt","family":"Szakonyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"},{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Natural Products, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s utca 6, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dalko, P.I.
