Chemo-enzymatic fluorination of unactivated organic compounds.

ABSTRACT: Fluorination has gained an increasingly important role in drug discovery and development. Here we describe a versatile strategy that combines cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxygenation with deoxofluorination to achieve mono- and polyfluorination of nonreactive sites in a variety of organic scaffolds. This procedure was applied for the rapid identification of fluorinated drug derivatives with enhanced membrane permeability.

An automated synthesizer for electrochemical 18F-fluorination of organic compounds.

Project description:Electrochemical 18F-fluorination of organic compounds provides a means to synthesize Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) tracers difficult to obtain otherwise. Here, the first automated synthesizer that enables radiolabeling through carrier-added electrochemical 18F-fluorination is described. The system provides capabilities for all necessary operations such as drying of cyclotron derived [18F]fluoride, electrochemical incorporation of the radioisotope into a precursor molecule, subsequent reactions such as protecting group removals, HPLC-purification and formulation of the final tracer. Demonstrated is the aliphatic electrochemical 18F-fluorination of methyl 2-(phenylthio)acetate.

N-Directed fluorination of unactivated Csp3-H bonds.

Project description:Site-selective fluorination of aliphatic C-H bonds remains synthetically challenging. While directed C-H fluorination represents the most promising approach, the limited work conducted to date has enabled just a few functional groups as the arbiters of direction. Leveraging insights gained from both computations and experimentation, we enabled the use of the ubiquitous amine functional group as a handle for the directed C-H fluorination of Csp3-H bonds. By converting primary amines to adamantoyl-based fluoroamides, site-selective C-H fluorination proceeds under the influence of a simple iron catalyst in 20 minutes. Computational studies revealed a unique reaction coordinate for the catalytic process and offer an explanation for the high site selectivity.

Mechanism of enzymatic fluorination in Streptomyces cattleya.

Project description:Recently a fluorination enzyme was identified and isolated from Streptomyces cattleya, as the first committed step on the metabolic pathway to the fluorinated metabolites, fluoroacetate and 4-fluorothreonine. This enzyme, 5'-fluoro-5'-deoxy adenosine synthetase (FDAS), has been shown to catalyze C-F bond formation by nucleophilic attack of fluoride ion to S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) with the concomitant displacement of l-methionine to generate 5'-fluoro-5'-deoxy adenosine (5'-FDA). Although the structures of FDAS bound to both SAM and products have been solved, the molecular mechanism remained to be elucidated. We now report site-directed mutagenesis studies, structural analyses, and isothermal calorimetry (ITC) experiments. The data establish the key residues required for catalysis and the order of substrate binding. Fluoride ion is not readily distinguished from water by protein X-ray crystallography; however, using chloride ion (also a substrate) with a mutant of low activity has enabled the halide ion to be located in nonproductive co-complexes with SAH and SAM. The kinetic data suggest the positively charged sulfur of SAM is a key requirement in stabilizing the transition state. We propose a molecular mechanism for FDAS in which fluoride weakly associates with the enzyme exchanging two water molecules for protein ligation. The binding of SAM expels remaining water associated with fluoride ion and traps the ion in a pocket positioned to react with SAM, generating l-methionine and 5'-FDA. l-methionine then dissociates from the enzyme followed by 5'-FDA.

Asymmetric Enzymatic Hydration of Unactivated, Aliphatic Alkenes.

Project description:The direct enantioselective addition of water to unactivated alkenes could simplify the synthesis of chiral alcohols and solve a long-standing challenge in catalysis. Here we report that an engineered fatty acid hydratase can catalyze the asymmetric hydration of various terminal and internal alkenes. In the presence of a carboxylic acid decoy molecule for activation of the oleate hydratase from E. meningoseptica, asymmetric hydration of unactivated alkenes was achieved with up to 93 % conversion, excellent selectivity (>99 % ee, >95 % regioselectivity), and on a preparative scale.

Hydroxy-directed fluorination of remote unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds: a new age of diastereoselective radical fluorination.

Project description:We report a photochemically induced, hydroxy-directed fluorination that addresses the prevailing challenge of high diastereoselectivity in this burgeoning field. Numerous simple and complex motifs showcase a spectrum of regio- and stereochemical outcomes based on the configuration of the hydroxy group. Notable examples include a long-sought switch in the selectivity of the refractory sclareolide core, an override of benzylic fluorination, and a rare case of 3,3'-difluorination. Furthermore, calculations illuminate a low barrier transition state for fluorination, supporting our notion that alcohols are engaged in coordinated reagent direction. A hydrogen bonding interaction between the innate hydroxy directing group and fluorine is also highlighted for several substrates with 19F-1H HOESY experiments, calculations, and more.

Chemo-Enzymatic Synthesis of Oligoglycerol Derivatives.

Project description:A cleaner and greener method has been developed and used to synthesize 14 different functionalized oligomer derivatives of glycerol in moderate 29%-39% yields over three steps. After successive regioselective enzymatic acylation of the primary hydroxyl groups, etherification or esterification of the secondary hydroxyl groups and chemoselective enzymatic saponification, the target compounds can efficiently be used as versatile building blocks in organic and supramolecular chemistry.

Site-selective 18F fluorination of unactivated C-H bonds mediated by a manganese porphyrin.

Project description:The first direct C-H 18F fluorination reaction of unactivated aliphatic sites using no-carrier-added [18F]fluoride is reported. Under the influence of a manganese porphyrin/iodosylbenzene system, a variety of unactivated aliphatic C-H bonds can be selectively converted to C-18F bonds. The mild conditions, broad substrate scope and generally inaccessible regiochemistry make this radio-fluorination a powerful alternate to established nucleophilic substitution for the preparation of 18F labeled radio tracers.

Chemo-Enzymatic Synthesis of Pyrazines and Pyrroles.

Project description:Herein we report the biocatalytic synthesis of substituted pyrazines and pyrroles using a transaminase (ATA) to mediate the key amination step of the ketone precursors. Treatment of α-diketones with ATA-113 in the presence of a suitable amine donor yielded the corresponding α-amino ketones which underwent oxidative dimerization to the pyrazines. Selective amination of α-diketones in the presence of β-keto esters afforded substituted pyrroles in a biocatalytic equivalent of the classical Knorr pyrrole synthesis. Finally we have shown that pyrroles can be prepared by internal amine transfer catalyzed by a transaminase in which no external amine donor is required.

Chemo-enzymatic total synthesis of the spirosorbicillinols.

Project description:The natural product class of the sorbicillinoids is composed of structurally diverse molecules with many strong, biomedically relevant biological activities. Owing to their complex structures, the synthesis of sorbicillinoids is a challenging task. Here we show the first total synthesis of the fungal sorbicillinoids spirosorbicillinols A-C. The convergent route comprises the chemo-enzymatic transformation of sorbicillin to the highly reactive sorbicillinol and the assembly of scytolide and isomers starting from shikimic and quinic acid analogs. The key step in the total synthesis is the fusion of both building blocks in a Diels-Alder cycloaddition leading to the straightforward formation of the characteristic sorbicillinoid bicyclo[2.2.2]octane backbone. This work provides unifying access to all natural spirosorbicillinols and unnatural diastereomers.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of isotopically labeled nicotinamide riboside.

Project description:As a cofactor for numerous reactions, NAD+ is found widely dispersed across many maps of cellular metabolism. This core redox role alone makes the biosynthesis of NAD+ of great interest. Recent studies have revealed new biological roles for NAD+ as a substrate for diverse enzymes that regulate a broad spectrum of key cellular tasks. These NAD+-consuming enzymes further highlight the importance of understanding NAD+ biosynthetic pathways. In this study, we developed a chemo-enzymatic synthesis of isotopically labeled NAD+ precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR). The synthesis of NR isotopomers allowed us to unambiguously determine that NR is efficiently converted to NAD+ in the cellular environment independent of degradation to nicotinamide, and it is incorporated into NAD+ in its intact form. The versatile synthetic method along with the isotopically labeled NRs will provide powerful tools to further decipher the important yet complicated NAD+ metabolism.
