Chemoenzymatic synthesis of each enantiomer of orthogonally protected 4,4-difluoroglutamic acid: a candidate monomer for chiral Bronsted acid peptide-based catalysts.

ABSTRACT: We have accomplished an asymmetric synthesis of each enantiomer of 4,4-difluoroglutamic acid. This ?-amino acid has been of interest in medicinal chemistry circles. Key features of the synthesis include highly scalable procedures, a Reformatsky-based coupling reaction, and straightforward functional group manipulations to make the parent amino acid. Enantioenrichment derives from an enzymatic resolution of the synthetic material. Conversion of the optically enriched compounds to orthogonally protected forms allows for the selective formation of peptide bonds. 4,4-Difluoroglutamic acid, in a suitably protected form, is also shown to exhibit enhanced catalytic activity in both an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction, in comparison to the analogous glutamic acid derivative.

Bifunctional asymmetric catalysis: amplification of Bronsted basicity can orthogonally increase the reactivity of a chiral Bronsted acid.

Project description:The reactivity of a series of symmetrical chiral Brønsted acids (polar ionic hydrogen-bond donors) follows the counterintuitive trend wherein the more Brønsted basic member is a more effective catalyst for the aza-Henry (nitro-Mannich) reaction. This new design element leads to a substantially more reactive catalyst for the aza-Henry reaction, one that can promote the addition of a secondary nitroalkane. Additionally, when an achiral Brønsted acid (TfOH) is used in slight excess of the neutral, chiral bisamidine ligand, diastereoselection can be optimized to levels generally greater than 15:1 while the enantioselection remains unchanged at generally >90% ee.

Bronsted Acid-Catalyzed Epimerization-Free Preparation of Dual-Protected Amino Acid Derivatives.

Project description:An organocatalytic protocol, employing the commercially available EDC as coupling agent, has been developed for the preparation of dual-protected amino acid derivatives without epimerization. This methodology was then applied to different Boc-amino acid and amine derivatives in moderate to excellent isolated yields. In addition, racemization-free Boc deprotection was also demonstrated. Mechanism investigation through electrospray ionization (+)-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry revealed an acyclic intermediate (no azlactone formation) activated by the camphorsulfonic acid as an organocatalyst as a key step for the sequential attack of the nucleophile.

Stereoselective synthesis of complex polycyclic aziridines: use of the Bronsted acid-catalyzed aza-Darzens reaction to prepare an orthogonally protected mitomycin C intermediate with maximal convergency.

Project description:A concise synthesis of a highly functionalized intermediate lacking only C10 of the mitomycin backbone is described. The key to this development is the Brønsted acid-catalyzed aza-Darzens reaction used to forge the cis-aziridine. Additionally an oxidative ketalization fortuitously occurs during the quinone-enamine coupling step, leading to an orthogonally protected hydroquinone.

Taming Bronsted Acid Reactivity: Nucleophilic Substitutions of Propargylic Alcohols with N-Nucleophiles Mediated by Phosphorus-Based Bronsted Acid Catalysts.

Project description:The activity of diethyl phosphite and diphenyl phosphate in propargylation reactions with N-nucleophiles of varying basicity is presented. A careful choice of the reaction conditions minimized undesired rearrangements and arylation processes, typical side reactions with Brønsted acid catalysis. These systems are compatible with technical solvents and presence of air, and they are also applicable to C-, O-, and S-nucleophiles.

Geminal Bronsted acid ionic liquids as catalysts for the Mannich reaction in water.

Project description:Quaternary ammonium geminal Brønsted acid ionic liquids (GBAILs) based on zwitterionic 1,2-bis[N-methyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-alkylammonium]ethane (where the carbon number of the alkyl chain is 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate were synthesized. The catalytic ionic liquids were applied in three-component Mannich reactions with an aldehyde, ketone, and amine at 25 °C in water. The effects of the type and amount of catalyst and reaction time as well as the scope of the reaction were investigated. Results showed that GBAIL-C14 has excellent catalytic activity and fair reusability. The catalytic procedure was simple, and the catalyst could be recycled seven times via a simple separation process without noticeable decreases in catalytic activity.

Stereoselective organocatalyzed glycosylations - thiouracil, thioureas and monothiophthalimide act as Bronsted acid catalysts at low loadings.

Project description:Thiouracil catalyzes stereoselective glycosylations with galactals in loadings as low as 0.1 mol%. It is proposed that in these glycosylations thiouracil, monothiophthalimide, and the previously reported catalyst, Schreiner's thiourea, do not operate via a double H-bonding mechanism but rather by Brønsted acid/base catalysis. In addition to the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides and glycoconjugates, we report the first organocatalytic synthesis of 1,1'-linked trehalose-type sugars.

Catalytic preparation of levulinic acid from cellobiose via Bronsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids functional catalysts.

Project description:Brønsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids (ILs) were applied to catalyze cellobiose to prepare levulinic acid (LA) in one pot under hydrothermal conditions. Under the optimum conditions, the highest LA yield of 67.51% was obtained when low [HO3S-(CH2)3-mim]Cl-FeCl3 (molar fraction of FeCl3 x?=?0.60) was used. This indicated the Brønsted-Lewis acidic ILs played an active role in the conversion of cellobiose to LA. The catalytic mechanism of ILs had been established, disclosing that the Brønsted-Lewis acidic ILs had the catalytic synergistic effect originating from its double acid sites. During the reaction process, the Lewis acid sites improved the isomerization of glucose to fructose, then the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites simultaneously enhanced the dehydration of fructose to produce hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which was propitious to the synthesize LA with high yield. In addition, LA could be easily extracted by methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and the ILs could retain its basic activity after 5 cycles. The solid residues were characterized using SEM, FT-IR and TG-DTG spectroscopy. It was the conclusion that a large amount of humins were produced during the cellobiose conversion process. In this reaction, the ILs not only overcomes the problems of the conventional catalyst, but also completes the reaction-separation integration and the recycling of the catalyst. This paper provided an important theoretical basis for the application of ILs in the field of biomass.

Modular continuous flow synthesis of orthogonally protected 6-deoxy glucose glycals.

Project description:An efficient, modular continuous flow process towards accessing two orthogonally protected glycals is described with the development of reaction conditions for several common protecting group additions in flow, including the addition of benzyl, naphthylmethyl and tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers. The process affords the desired target compounds in 57-74% overall yield in just 21-37 minutes of flow time. Furthermore, unlike batch conditions, the flow processes avoided the need for active cooling to prevent unwanted exotherms and required shorter reaction times.

Biobased Furanics: Kinetic Studies on the Acid Catalyzed Decomposition of 2-Hydroxyacetyl Furan in Water Using Bronsted Acid Catalysts.

Project description:Biobased furanics like 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) are interesting platform chemicals for the synthesis of biofuel additives and polymer precursors. 5-HMF is typically prepared from C6 ketoses like fructose, psicose, sorbose and tagatose. A known byproduct is 2-hydroxyacetylfuran (2-HAF), particularly when using sorbose and psicose as the reactants. We here report an experimental and kinetic modeling study on the rate of decomposition of 2-HAF in a typical reaction medium for 5-HMF synthesis (water, Brönsted acid), with the incentive to gain insights in the stability of 2-HAF. A total of 12 experiments were performed (batch setup) in water with sulfuric acid as the catalyst (100-170 °C, CH2SO4 ranging between 0.033 and 1.37 M and an initial 2-HAF concentration between 0.04 and 0.26 M). Analysis of the reaction mixtures showed a multitude of products, of which levulinic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA) were the most prominent (Ymax,FA = 24 mol %, Ymax,LA = 10 mol %) when using HCl. In contrast, both LA and FA were formed in minor amounts when using H2SO4 as the catalyst. The decomposition reaction of 2-HAF using sulfuric acid was successfully modeled (R2 = 0.9957) using a first-order approach in 2-HAF and acid. The activation energy was found to be 98.7 (±2.2) kJ mol-1.
