Mechanistic duality of indolyl 1,3-heteroatom transposition.

ABSTRACT: A novel mechanistic duality has been revealed from the indolyl 1,3-heteroatom transposition (IHT) of N-hydroxyindole derivatives. A series of in-depth mechanistic investigations suggests that two separate mechanisms are operating simultaneously. Moreover, the relative contribution of each mechanistic pathway, the energy barrier for each pathway, and the identity of the primary pathway were shown to be the functions of the electronic properties of the substrate system. Based on the mechanistic understanding obtained, a mechanism-driven strategy for the general and efficient introduction of a heteroatom at the 3-position of indole has been developed. The reaction developed exhibits a broad substrate scope to provide the products in various forms of the functionalised indole. Moreover, the method is applicable to the introduction of both oxygen- and nitrogen-based functional groups.

Gold-catalyzed 1,3-transposition of ynones.

Project description:An efficient, regioselective gold-catalyzed 1,3-transposition reaction of ynones and diynones has been developed. It was found that stereoelectronic (interrupted conjugation) and electronic (extended conjugation) factors could efficiently govern the regioselectivity of this thermodynamically controlled transformation. The produced conjugated diynones were efficiently transformed into diverse alkyne-substituted five- and six-membered heterocycles.

Mechanistic duality of transcription factor function in phytochrome signaling.

Project description:The phytochrome (phy) family of sensory photoreceptors (phyA-E in Arabidopsis) elicit changes in gene expression after light-induced migration to the nucleus, where they interact with basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, such as phytochrome-interacting factor 3 (PIF3). The mechanism by which PIF3 relays phy signals, both early after initial light exposure and later during long-term irradiation, is not understood. Using transgenically expressed PIF3 variants, carrying site-specific amino acid substitutions that block the protein from binding either to DNA, phyA, and/or phyB, we examined the involvement of PIF3 in early, phy-induced marker gene expression and in modulating long-term, phy-imposed inhibition of hypocotyl cell elongation under prolonged, continuous irradiation. We describe an unanticipated dual mechanism of PIF3 action that involves the temporal uncoupling of its two most central molecular functions. We find that in early signaling, PIF3 acts positively as a transcription factor, exclusively requiring its DNA-binding capacity. Contrary to previous proposals, PIF3 functions as a constitutive coactivator in this process, without the need for phy binding and subsequent phy-induced modifications. This finding implies that another factor(s) is conditionally activated by phy and functions in concert with PIF3, to induce target gene transcription. In contrast, during long-term irradiations, PIF3 acts exclusively through its phyB-interacting capacity to control hypocotyl cell elongation, independently of its ability to bind DNA. Unexpectedly, PIF3 uses this capacity to regulate phyB protein abundance (and thereby global photosensory sensitivity) to modulate this long-term response rather than participating directly in the transduction chain as a signaling intermediate.

Mechanistic Duality in Tertiary Amine Additions to Thermally Generated Hexadehydro-Diels-Alder Benzynes.

Project description:Reported here are studies directed at understanding the mechanism of tertiary amine addition to hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA)-generated benzynes. Tertiary amines are presumed to engage benzynes by generation of a zwitterionic intermediate. Simple trialkylamines undergo intermolecular protonation by a protic nucleophile to give an aryl ammonium intermediate that is then dealkylated. Amines containing acidified ?-protons undergo an intramolecular elimination to give the aniline and an alkene. Finally, amino alcohols react at either of their N- or O atoms, depending upon the extent of internal hydrogen bonding.

PIFA-mediated selenylative spirocyclization of indolyl ynones: facile access to selenated spiro[cyclopentenone-1,3'-indoles].

Project description:A fast selenylative spirocyclization of indolyl ynones mediated by PIFA has been developed. This transformation was enabled by the reactive RSeOCOCF3 species generated in situ from diselenides with PIFA, involving an electrophilic dearomative cascade cyclization. This protocol provides a facile and efficient method for the synthesis of selenated spiro[cyclopentenone-1,3'-indoles] and tolerates broad functional groups.

Stereoselective syntheses of 2-methyl-1,3-diol acetals via Re-catalyzed [1,3]-allylic alcohol transposition.

Project description:Rhenium-catalyzed stereoselective transposition of allylic alcohols is reported. In the presence of 1 mol% of Re2O7, (E)- or (Z)-δ-hydroxymethyl-anti-homoallylic alcohols were converted into the acetals of 2-methyl-1,3-syn-diols with excellent diastereoselectivities. 1,3-syn-Diol acetals can also be synthesized from (E)-δ-hydroxymethyl-syn-homoallylic alcohols.

1,3-Alkyl Transposition in Allylic Alcohols Enabled by Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer.

Project description:A method is described for the isomerization of acyclic allylic alcohols into β-functionalized ketones via 1,3-alkyl transposition. This reaction proceeds via light-driven proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) activation of the O-H bond in the allylic alcohol substrate, followed by C-C β-scission of the resulting alkoxy radical. The transient alkyl radical and enone acceptor generated in the scission event subsequently recombine via radical conjugate addition to deliver β-functionalized ketone products. A variety of allylic alcohol substrates bearing alkyl and acyl migratory groups were successfully accommodated. Insights from mechanistic studies led to a modified reaction protocol that improves reaction performance for challenging substrates.

Mechanistic Duality of Bacterial Efflux Substrates and Inhibitors: Example of Simple Substituted Cinnamoyl and Naphthyl Amides.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance poses an immediate and growing threat to human health. Multidrug efflux pumps are promising targets for overcoming antibiotic resistance with small-molecule therapeutics. Previously, we identified a diaminoquinoline acrylamide, NSC-33353, as a potent inhibitor of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump in Escherichia coli. This inhibitor potentiates the antibacterial activities of novobiocin and erythromycin upon binding to the membrane fusion protein AcrA. It is also a substrate for efflux and lacks appreciable intrinsic antibacterial activity of its own in wild-type cells. Here, we have modified the substituents of the cinnamoyl group of NSC-33353, giving rise to analogs that retain the ability to inhibit efflux, lost the features of the efflux substrates, and gained antibacterial activity in wild-type cells. The replacement of the cinnamoyl group with naphthyl isosteres generated compounds that lack antibacterial activity but are both excellent efflux pump inhibitors and substrates. Surprisingly, these inhibitors potentiate the antibacterial activity of novobiocin but not erythromycin. Surface plasmon resonance experiments and molecular docking suggest that the replacement of the cinnamoyl group with naphthyl shifts the affinity of the compounds away from AcrA to the AcrB transporter, making them better efflux substrates and changing their mechanism of inhibition. These results provide new insights into the duality of efflux substrate/inhibitor features in chemical scaffolds that will facilitate the development of new efflux pump inhibitors.

One-step preparation of novel 1-(N-indolyl)-1,3-butadienes by base-catalysed isomerization of alkynes as an access to 5-(N-indolyl)-naphthoquinones.

Project description:A series of novel 1-(N-indolyl)-1,3-butadienes, as (1 : 1) mixtures of the (E) and (Z) dienes, was prepared in one step by base-catalysed isomerization of N-alkylindoles with a terminal butyne chain. The reaction conditions are mild, and in all cases the yields were very high (>90%). The (E) and (Z) dienes were separable by preparative TLC and could be fully characterized. This isomerization proceeded readily in the case of a butynyl chain, but didn't take place with a pentynyl chain. A mechanism was proposed for this reaction, based on previous studies on the isomerization of alkynes in basic media, and a key intermediate that supports the proposed mechanism could be isolated and fully characterized. A theoretical study of the proposed mechanism was performed by computational methods and the results validated the proposal. The reactivity of the synthesized dienes was studied in Diels-Alder reactions with p-benzoquinone, to obtain a small library of new 5-(N-indolyl)-1,4-naphthoquinones.The lack of reactivity in the case of the (Z) isomers was explained by calculation of the rotational curves of the central bond of the (Z) and (E) dienes. Finally, the cytotoxicity of the new 5-(N-indolyl)-1,4-naphthoquinones was tested against a panel of three cell lines.

Base-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Addition Reaction of Indoles with Vinylene Carbonate: An Approach to Synthesize 4-Indolyl-1,3-dioxolanones.

Project description:The N-functionalized indole is a privileged structural framework in a wide range of bioactive molecules. The nucleophilic addition between indoles with vinylene carbonate proceeded smoothly in the presence of K2CO3 as the catalyst to produce novel indolyl-containing skeletons and 4-indolyl-1,3-dioxolanones in satisfactory to excellent yields (up to >97% yield). Various synthetically useful functional groups, such as halogen atoms, cyano, nitro, and methoxycarbonyl groups, remained intact during the regioselective N-H addition reactions. The developed catalytic system also could accommodate 2-naphthalenol to achieve the target O-H additive product in good yield.

Mechanistic studies of copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-halogen migration.

Project description:An ongoing challenge in modern catalysis is to identify and understand new modes of reactivity promoted by earth-abundant and inexpensive first-row transition metals. Herein, we report a mechanistic study of an unusual copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-migration of 2-bromostyrenes that reincorporates the bromine activating group into the final product with concomitant borylation of the aryl halide bond. A combination of experimental and computational studies indicated this reaction does not involve any oxidation state changes at copper; rather, migration occurs through a series of formal sigmatropic shifts. Insight provided from these studies will be used to expand the utility of aryl copper species in synthesis and develop new ligands for enantioselective copper-catalyzed halogenation.
