A straightforward approach towards combined ?-amino and ?-hydroxy acids based on Passerini reactions.

ABSTRACT: Complex amino acids with an ?-acyloxycarbonyl functionality in the side chain are easily available through epoxide opening by chelated enolates and subsequent oxidation/Passerini reaction. This protocol works with both, aldehyde and ketone intermediates, as long as the ketones are activated by electron-withdrawing groups. In principle Ugi reactions are also possible, allowing the generation of diamino acid derivatives.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of ?-hydroxy ?-amino acids via complimentary aldol reactions.

Project description:Orthogonally protected chiral ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids can be accessed in >100 g quantities from readily available starting materials and reagents in 3-4 steps. These chiral synthons contain two adjacent stereocenters along with suitably protected functional groups (O-TBS, N-Boc) for downstream reactivity. Implementation of two existing aldol technologies allows rapid access to all possible stereoisomers of 1. The guiding principles during reaction optimization were reaction scalability and operational efficiency. Conversion of the amino acids to a variety of chiral building blocks in 1-2 steps demonstrates their synthetic utility.

Passerini Reactions on Biocatalytically Derived Chiral Azetidines.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore a series of Passerini reactions on a biocatalytically derived enantiopure azetidine-2-carboxyaldehyde in order to obtain, in a diastereoselective manner, polyfunctionalised derivatives having the potential to be cyclized to chiral bridged bicyclic nitrogen heterocycles. While diastereoselectivity was poor under classical Passerini conditions, a significant increase of diastereoselectivity (up to 76:24) was gained by the use of zinc bromide as promoter. The methodology has a broad scope and yields are always good.

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).

Analysis of amino acids, hydroxy acids, and amines in CR chondrites.

Project description:The abundances, relative distributions, and enantiomeric and isotopic compositions of amines, amino acids, and hydroxy acids in Miller Range (MIL) 090001 and MIL 090657 meteorites were determined. Chiral distributions and isotopic compositions confirmed that most of the compounds detected were indigenous to the meteorites and not the result of terrestrial contamination. Combined with data in the literature, suites of these compounds have now been analyzed in a set of six CR chondrites, spanning aqueous alteration types 2.0-2.8. Amino acid abundances ranged from 17 to 3300 nmol g-1 across the six CRs; hydroxy acid abundances ranged from 180 to 1800 nmol g-1; and amine abundances ranged from 40 to 2100 nmol g-1. For amino acids and amines, the weakly altered chondrites contained the highest abundances, whereas hydroxy acids were most abundant in the more altered CR2.0 chondrite. Because water contents in the meteorites are orders of magnitude greater than soluble organics, synthesis of hydroxy acids, which requires water, may be less affected by aqueous alteration than amines and amino acids that require nitrogen-bearing precursors. Two chiral amino acids that were plausibly extraterrestrial in origin were present with slight enantiomeric excesses: L-isovaline (~10% excess) and D-β-amino-n-butyric acid (~9% excess); further studies are needed to verify that the chiral excess in the latter compound is truly extraterrestrial in origin. The isotopic compositions of compounds reported here did not reveal definitive links between the different compound classes such as common synthetic precursors, but will provide a framework for further future in-depth analyses.

Synthesis of Functional Fluorescent BODIPY-based Dyes through Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Straightforward Approach towards Customized Fluorescent Probes.

Project description:Fluorescent materials are widely used in biological and material applications as probes for imaging or sensing; however, their customization is usually complicated without the support of an organic chemistry laboratory. Here, we present a straightforward method for the customization of BODIPY cores, which are among the most commonly used fluorescent probes. The method is based on the formation of a new C-C bond through Friedel-Crafts electrophilic aromatic substitution carried out at room temperature. The method presented can be used to obtain completely customized fluorescent materials in one or two steps from commercially available compounds. Examples of the preparation of fluorescent materials for cell staining and functionalization of silica colloids are also presented.

Identification of endogenous acyl amino acids based on a targeted lipidomics approach.

Project description:Using a partially purified bovine brain extract, our lab identified three novel endogenous acyl amino acids in mammalian tissues. The presence of numerous amino acids in the body and their ability to form amides with several saturated and unsaturated fatty acids indicated the potential existence of a large number of heretofore unidentified acyl amino acids. Reports of several additional acyl amino acids that activate G-protein coupled receptors (e.g., N-arachidonoyl glycine, N-arachidonoyl serine) and transient receptor potential channels (e.g., N-arachidonoyl dopamine, N-acyl taurines) suggested that some or many novel acyl amino acids could serve as signaling molecules. Here, we used a targeted lipidomics approach including specific enrichment steps, nano-LC/MS/MS, high-throughput screening of the datasets with a potent search algorithm based on fragment ion analysis, and quantification using the multiple reaction monitoring mode in Analyst software to measure the biological levels of acyl amino acids in rat brain. We successfully identified 50 novel endogenous acyl amino acids present at 0.2 to 69 pmol g(-1) wet rat brain.

Optimized Conditions for Passerini-Smiles Reactions and Applications to Benzoxazinone Syntheses.

Project description:Initial conditions disclosed for the Passerini-Smiles reaction are associated with a lack of efficiency that has prevented chemists from using it since its discovery. We wish to report herein our thorough study in the development of new experimental conditions for this coupling between electron-poor phenols, isocyanides, and carbonyl derivatives. These new conditions have been applied to several synthetic strategies towards benzoxazinones.

Passerini-type reaction of boronic acids enables α-hydroxyketones synthesis.

Project description:Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) facilitate the rapid and diverse construction of molecular scaffolds with modularity and step economy. In this work, engagement of boronic acids as carbon nucleophiles culminates in a Passerini-type three-component coupling reaction towards the synthesis of an expanded inventory of α-hydroxyketones with skeletal diversity. In addition to the appealing features of MCRs, this protocol portrays good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope under mild conditions and operational simplicity. The utility of this chemistry is further demonstrated by amenable modifications of bioactive products and pharmaceuticals as well as in the functionalization of products to useful compounds.

Enantioselective C-H Olefination of ?-Hydroxy and ?-Amino Phenylacetic Acids by Kinetic Resolution.

Project description:Significant progress has been made in the past decade regarding the development of enantioselective C-H activation reactions by desymmetrization. However, the requirement for the presence of two chemically identical prochiral C-H bonds represents an inherent limitation in scope. Reported is the first example of kinetic resolution by a palladium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation and C-C bond formation, thus significantly expanding the scope of enantioselective C-H activation reactions.

Stereocontrolled synthesis of syn-?-Hydroxy-?-amino acids by direct aldolization of pseudoephenamine glycinamide.

Project description:?-Hydroxy-?-amino acids figure prominently as chiral building blocks in chemical synthesis and serve as precursors to numerous important medicines. Reported herein is a method for the synthesis of ?-hydroxy-?-amino acid derivatives by aldolization of pseudoephenamine glycinamide, which can be prepared from pseudoephenamine in a one-flask protocol. Enolization of (R,R)- or (S,S)-pseudoephenamine glycinamide with lithium hexamethyldisilazide in the presence of LiCl followed by addition of an aldehyde or ketone substrate affords aldol addition products that are stereochemically homologous with L- or D-threonine, respectively. These products, which are typically solids, can be obtained in stereoisomerically pure form in yields of 55-98?%, and are readily transformed into ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids by mild hydrolysis or into 2-amino-1,3-diols by reduction with sodium borohydride. This new chemistry greatly facilitates the construction of novel antibiotics of several different classes.
