Highly Diastereoselective Preparation of Tertiary Alkyl Isonitriles by Stereoinvertive Nucleophilic Substitution at a Nonclassical Carbocation.

Project description:A highly efficient SnCl4-catalyzed nucleophilic isocyanation of cyclopropyl ethers has been developed. The reaction proceeds at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of the cyclopropane with a complete inversion of configuration, providing a new avenue for the construction of synthetically challenging tertiary alkyl isonitriles with high diastereopurity. The diversity of the incorporated isocyanide group has been demonstrated by the transformation of tertiary alkyl isonitriles into the corresponding tertiary alkyl amines, amides, and cyclic ketoimines.

New Fmoc-Amino Acids/Peptides-Based Supramolecular Gels Obtained through Co-Assembly Process: Preparation and Characterization.

Project description:One of the methods of obtaining supramolecular gels consists of the possibility of self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs). However, LMWG-based gels are often difficult to handle, easy to destroy and have poor rheological performance. In order to improve the gels’ properties, the LMWGs molecules are co-assembled, which induces more cross-links with more stable structures. Starting from these aspects, the present study refers to the preparation of a bionic hydrogel stabilized with a physiologically occurring, bifunctional biomolecule, L-lysine, co-assembled with other amino acids or peptides (such as a modified amino acid (Fmoc-serine or Fmoc-glutamic acid) or a tripeptide (Fmoc-Gly-Gly-Gly)) with the potential to support the repair of injuries or the age-related impaired structures or functions of living tissues. The introduction of a copartner aims to improve hydrogel characteristics from a morphological, rheological and structural point of view. On the other hand, the process will allow the understanding of the phenomenon of specific self-association and molecular recognition. Various characterization techniques were used to assess the ability to co-assemble: DLS, FT-IR, SEM and fluorescence microscopy, rheology and thermal analysis. Studies have confirmed that the supramolecular structure occurs through the formation of inter- and intramolecular physical bonds that ensure the formation of fibrils organized into 3D networks. The rheological data, namely the G′ > G″ and tan δ approximately 0.1−0.2 gel-like behavior observed for all studied samples, demonstrate and sustain the appearance of the co-assembly processes and the ability of the samples to act as LMWG. From the studied systems, the Fmoc−Lys−Fmoc_ Fmoc−Glu sample presented the best rheological characteristics that are consistent with the observations that resulted from the dichroism, fluorescence and SEM investigations.

o-Quinones formed in plant extracts. Their reactions with amino acids and peptides.

Project description:1. The reactions of amino acids and peptides with the o-quinones produced by the enzymic oxidation of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid have been studied manometrically and spectrophotometrically. 2. Amino acids, except lysine and cysteine, react primarily through their alpha-amino groups to give red or brown products. These reactions, which compete with the polymerization of the quinones, are followed by secondary reactions that may absorb oxygen and give products with other colours. 3. The in-amino group of lysine reacts with the o-quinones in a similar way. The thiol group of cysteine reacts with the quinones, without absorbing oxygen, giving colourless products. 4. Peptides containing cysteine react with the o-quinones through their thiol group. 5. Other peptides, such as glycyl-leucine and leucylglycine, react primarily through their alpha-amino group and the overall reaction resembles that of the N-terminal amino acid except that it is quicker. 6. With some peptides, the secondary reactions differ from those that occur between the o-quinones and the N-terminal amino acids. The colours produced from carnosine resemble those produced from histidine rather than those from beta-alanine, and the reactions of prolylalanine with o-quinones are more complex than those of proline.

Samarium iodide-mediated Reformatsky reactions for the stereoselective preparation of ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids: synthesis of isostatine and dolaisoleucine.

Project description:The synthesis of ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids via SmI(2)-mediated Reformatsky reactions of ?-chloroacetyloxazolidinones with aminoaldehydes is reported. Diastereoselective coupling is demonstrated to depend on the absolute configuration of the Evans chiral auxiliary employed in the reaction, allowing erythro or threo products to be obtained selectively. The potential utility of the methodology is exemplified by the facile synthesis of biologically relevant N-Boc-isostatine (2b) and N-Boc-dolaisoleucine (3c).

Preparation and wittig reactions of organotrifluoroborato phosphonium ylides.

Project description:[reaction: see text] Potassium [(trifluoroboratophenyl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium chlorides have been prepared from the corresponding benzyl chlorides and PPh3. In the presence of 1.2 equiv of K2CO3 and various aldehydes, these mixed salts are easily converted to the corresponding unsaturated organotrifluoroborates via the intermediate phosphorus ylides. A protocol for a one-pot transformation has also been developed.

Preparation and Diels-Alder reactions of 1'-heterosubsituted vinylimidazoles.

Project description:A Diels-Alder/rearrangement sequence has been pursued in our lab en route to a number of oroidin dimers. In order to access the fully substituted core of these molecules, 1',2'-disubstituted 4-vinylimidazoles were required as dienes. The preparation of a series of a 4-vinylimidazoles containing substituents on the vinyl moiety via hydroalumination/electrophilic trapping or hydrosilylation are described. These derivatives undergo Diels-Alder reactions with N-phenylmaleimide to provide the tetrahydrobenzimidazole derivatives. The cycloadducts derived from halosubstituted systems generally undergo elimination, leading to the corresponding dihydrobenzimidazole, whereas the silyl and stannyl derivatives provide the corresponding 4-substituted tetrahydrobenzimidazole.

Revisiting oxytocin through the medium of isonitriles.

Project description:The reaction of thioamino acids and N-terminal peptides, mediated by hindered isonitriles and hydroxybenzotriazole, gives rise to peptide bonds. In one pathway, oxytocin was synthesized by eight such reiterative amidations. In another stereospecific track, oxytocin was constructed by native chemical ligation, wherein the two building blocks were assembled by thioacid amine amidation. The NMR spectra of oxytocin and dihydrooxytocin suggest a high level of preorganization in the latter, perhaps favoring oxidative folding.

Direct Conversion of Nitriles into Alkene "Isonitriles".

Project description:The sequenced addition of RLi to nitriles, trapping with isopropylformate, and dehydration with phosphoryl chloride provides an efficient, direct synthesis of alkene isocyanides. The one-pot sequence involves a series of carefully orchestrated steps: addition, formylation, tautomerization, and dehydration, with CuCN catalyzing a key equilibration of a formyl imine to an N-formyl enamine. The resulting aromatic alkeneisocyanides, that are otherwise challenging to synthesize, engage in an unusual [4+2]-type cycloaddition/1,3-H shift/decyanation sequence to afford substituted naphthalenes.
