Access to functionalized steroid side chains via modified Julia olefination.

ABSTRACT: Various functionalized steroidal side chains were conveniently accessed by a modified Julia olefination strategy using a common sulfone donor and an appropriate ?-branched aldehyde acceptor. For the coupling of these hindered classes of reaction partners (and in contrast to typically observed trends), the benzothiazolyl(BT)-sulfone anion gave superior outcomes compared to the phenyltetrazolyl(PT)-sulfone anion.

Various functionalized steroidal side chains were conveniently accessed by a modified Julia olefination strategy using a common sulfone donor and an appropriate α-branched aldehyde acceptor. For the coupling of these hindered classes of reaction partners (and in contrast to typically observed trends), the benzothiazolyl(BT)-sulfone anion gave superior outcomes compared to the phenyltetrazolyl(PT)-sulfone anion. ...[more]

Bromoacetate Olefination Protocol for Norbixin and Julia-Kocienski Olefination for Its Ester Syntheses.

Project description:A new olefination protocol utilizing ethyl bromoacetate was highlighted, in which magnesium enolate of the ester coupled with C20 dialdehyde 6, and double eliminations of the protected hydroxyl groups and bromine atoms of the coupling bromohydrin product, efficiently produced norbixin 1 after concomitant hydrolysis of the ester. A new (C7 + C10 + C7) disconnection approach was demonstrated for the synthesis of norbixin ethyl ester 2 by the Julia-Kocienski olefination of novel C7 benzothiazolyl-sulfone 11 and C10 2,7-dimethyl-2,4,6-octatrienedial (12).

Fluoro-Julia olefination as a mild, high-yielding route to alpha-fluoro acrylonitriles.

Project description:Synthesis of a novel, stable reagent (1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)fluoroacetonitrile from readily synthesized ethyl alpha-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-alpha-fluoroacetate is reported. Aldehydes undergo condensations with (1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)fluoroacetonitrile in the presence of DBU leading to alpha-fluoro acrylonitriles in high yields and with good Z-stereoselectivity. Lowering of reaction temperature increases the Z selectivity.

Synthesis of Chiral, Enantiopure Allylic Amines by the Julia Olefination of ?-Amino Esters.

Project description:The four-step conversion of a series of N-Boc-protected l-amino acid methyl esters into enantiopure N-Boc allylamines by a modified Julia olefination is described. Key steps include the reaction of a lithiated phenylalkylsulfone with amino esters, giving chiral ?-ketosulfones, and the reductive elimination of related ?-acetoxysulfones. The overall transformation takes place under mild conditions, with good yields, and without loss of stereochemical integrity, being in this respect superior to the conventional Julia reaction of ?-amino aldehydes.

Regiospecifically Fluorinated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Julia-Kocienski Olefination and Oxidative Photocyclization. Effect of Fluorine Atom Substitution on Molecular Shape.

Project description:A modular synthesis of regiospecifically fluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is described. 1,2-Diarylfluoroalkenes, synthesized via Julia-Kocienski olefination (70-99% yields), were converted to isomeric 5- and 6-fluorobenzo[c]phenanthrene, 5-and 6-fluorochrysene, and 9- and 10-benzo[g]chrysene (66-83% yields) by oxidative photocyclization. Photocyclization to 6-fluorochrysene proceeded more slowly than conversion of 1-styrylnaphthalene to chrysene. Higher fluoroalkene dilution led to a more rapid cyclization. Therefore, photocyclizations were performed at higher dilutions. To evaluate the effect of fluorine atom on molecular shapes, X-ray data for 5- and 6-fluorobenzo[c]phenanthrene, 6-fluorochrysene, 9- and 10-fluorobenzo[g]chrysene, and unfluorinated chrysene as well as benzo[g]chrysene were obtained and compared. The fluorine atom caused a small deviation from planarity in the chrysene series and decreased nonplanarity in the benzo[c]phenanthrene derivatives, but its influence was most pronounced in the benzo[g]chrysene series. A remarkable flattening of the molecule was observed in 9-fluorobenzo[g]chrysene, where the short 2.055 Å interatomic distance between bay-region F-9 and H-8, downfield shift of H-8, and a 26.1 Hz coupling between F-9 and C-8 indicate a possible F-9···H-8 hydrogen bond. In addition, in 9-fluorobenzo[g]chrysene, the stacking distance is short at 3.365 Å and there is an additional interaction between the C-11-H and C-10a of a nearby molecule that is almost perpendicular.

Structure-odor relationships of ?-santalol derivatives with modified side chains.

Project description:(Z)-?-Santalol, which has a unique woody odor, is a main constituent of sandalwood essential oil. We investigated the structure-odor relationship of (Z)-?-santalol and its derivatives, focusing on the relationship between the structure of the side chain and the odor of the compounds. Various ?-santalol derivatives (aldehydes, formates, and acetates) were synthesized from (Z)- and (E)-?-santalol, which were prepared from (+)-3-bromocamphor through modifications of a reported synthetic route. The Z- and E-isomers of ?-santalols have different double-bond configurations in the side chain. Analogues with saturated side chains were also prepared from the corresponding ?-santalols, and the odors of the all the prepared compounds were evaluated. We found that the odors of the Z-isomers (woody) were similar to those of the corresponding saturated compounds, but clearly different from the odors of the corresponding E-isomers (odorless, fresh, or fatty). These results indicate that the relative configuration of the side chain with respect to the santalane frame plays an important role in the odor of ?-santalol. E-configuration in the side chain eliminates the woody odor character of ?-santalol and its examined derivatives, whereas the Z-configuration or saturation of the carbon side chain does not.

Late-Stage Chloride Displacements Enable Access to Peptoids with <i>cis</i>-Inducing Alkylammonium Side Chains.

Project description:The synthesis of peptoids possessing multiple cis-inducing monomers with alkylammonium side chains is reported, where chloropropyl side chains are diversified on a solid support by late-stage SN2 displacements with amines. The conditions were optimized for a wide variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl amine nucleophiles. We also demonstrated that multiple chloride displacements could be achieved on sequences possessing trans-inducing N-aryl- and N-imino glycine monomers.

FadD19 of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM43269, a steroid-coenzyme A ligase essential for degradation of C-24 branched sterol side chains.

Project description:The actinobacterial cholesterol catabolic gene cluster contains a subset of genes that encode ?-oxidation enzymes with a putative role in sterol side chain degradation. We investigated the physiological roles of several genes, i.e., fadD17, fadD19, fadE26, fadE27, and ro04690DSM43269, by gene inactivation studies in mutant strain RG32 of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM43269. Mutant strain RG32 is devoid of 3-ketosteroid 9?-hydroxylase (KSH) activity and was constructed following the identification, cloning, and sequential inactivation of five kshA gene homologs in strain DSM43269. We show that mutant strain RG32 is fully blocked in steroid ring degradation but capable of selective sterol side chain degradation. Except for RG32?fadD19, none of the mutants constructed in RG32 revealed an aberrant phenotype on sterol side chain degradation compared to parent strain RG32. Deletion of fadD19 in strain RG32 completely blocked side chain degradation of C-24 branched sterols but interestingly not that of cholesterol. The additional inactivation of fadD17 in mutant RG32?fadD19 also did not affect cholesterol side chain degradation. Heterologously expressed FadD19DSM43269 nevertheless was active toward steroid-C26-oic acid substrates. Our data identified FadD19 as a steroid-coenzyme A (CoA) ligase with an essential in vivo role in the degradation of the side chains of C-24 branched-chain sterols. This paper reports the identification and characterization of a CoA ligase with an in vivo role in sterol side chain degradation. The high similarity (67%) between the FadD19(DSM43269) and FadD19H37Rv enzymes further suggests that FadD19H37Rv has an in vivo role in sterol metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.

Access to Functionalized Pyrenes, Peropyrenes, Terropyrenes, and Quarterropyrenes via Reductive Aromatization.

Project description:Herein we report a versatile concept for the synthesis of fourfold functionalized, soluble pyrenes, peropyrenes, terropyrenes, and quarterropyrenes. They were obtained by a modular stepwise approach towards the rylene scaffold via Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling, oxidative cyclodehydrogenation in the presence of caesium hydroxide under air, and finally zinc-mediated reductive silylation. The silylated reaction products were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The first example of a synthesized and crystallized quarterropyrene is presented and its oxidation reaction investigated. The functionalized ropyrenes were systematically characterized by means of UV/Vis-NIR and photoluminescence spectroscopy showing a bathochromic shift of 80 nm per naphthalene unit and a nearly linear increase of the extinction coefficients. Cyclic voltammograms and DFT calculations identify them as electron-rich dyes and show a narrowing of the electrochemically determined HOMO-LUMO gap and lower oxidation potentials for the higher homologues.

Mechanistic insights into silk fibroin's adhesive properties via chemical functionalization of serine side chains.

Project description:Bombyx mori-derived silk fibroin (SF) has recently gained interest for its intrinsic or engineered adhesive properties. In a previous study by our group, the mechanism of the protein's intrinsic adhesiveness to biological substrates such as leather has been hypothesized to rely on hydrogen bond formation between amino acid side chains of SF and the substrate. In this study, the serine side chains of SF were chemically functionalized with substituents with different hydrogen bonding abilities. The effect of these changes on adhesion to leather was investigated along with protein structural assessments. The results confirm our hypothesis that adhesive interactions are mediated by hydrogen bonds and indicate that the length and nature of the side chains are important for both adhesion and secondary structure formation.
