Photoreactions of cyclic sulfite esters: Evidence for diradical intermediates.

ABSTRACT: The photochemistry of a phenyl and 1,2-diphenyl substituted sulfite ester is reported. The performance of photoreactions under relatively mild reaction conditions enables the detection of products that have not been observed in previous studies. It is concluded that, complementary to the initially proposed carbene intermediates, diradicals may also be considered.

Synthesis of cyclic, multivalent Arg-Gly-Asp using sequential thiol-ene/thiol-yne photoreactions.

Project description:A unique method has been developed for the formation of multivalent cyclic peptides. This procedure exploits on-resin peptide cyclization using a photoinitiated thiol-ene click reaction and subsequent clustering using thiol-yne photochemistry. Both reactions utilize the sulfhydryl group on natural cysteine amino acids to participate in the thiol-mediated reactions.

Investigation into 9(S)-HPODE-derived allene oxide to cyclopentenone cyclization mechanism via diradical oxyallyl intermediates.

Project description:The cyclopentane core is ubiquitous among a large number of biologically relevant natural products. Cyclopentenones have been shown to be versatile intermediates for the stereoselective preparation of highly substituted cyclopentane derivatives. Allene oxides are oxygenated fatty acids which are involved in the pathways of cyclopentenone biosynthesis in plants and marine invertebrates; however, their cyclization behavior is not well understood. Recent work by Brash and co-workers (J. Biol. Chem., 2013, 288, 20797) revealed an unusual cyclization property of the 9(S)-HPODE-derived allene oxides: the previously unreported 10Z-isomer cyclizes to a cis-dialkylcyclopentenone in hexane/isopropyl alcohol (100?:?3, v/v), but the known 10E-isomer does not yield cis-cyclopentenone under the same conditions. The mechanism for cyclization has been investigated for unsubstituted and methyl substituted vinyl allene oxide using a variety of methods including CASSCF, ?B97xD, and CCSD(T) and basis sets up to cc-pVTZ. The lowest energy pathway proceeds via homolytic cleavage of the epoxide ring, formation of an oxyallyl diradical, which closes readily to a cyclopropanone intermediate. The cyclopropanone opens to the requisite oxyallyl which closes to the experimentally observed product, cis-cyclopentenone. The calculations show that the open shell, diradical pathway is lower in energy than the closed shell reactions of allene oxide to cyclopropanone, and cyclopropanone to cyclopentenone.

Modeling linear and cyclic PKS intermediates through atom replacement.

Project description:The mechanistic details of many polyketide synthases (PKSs) remain elusive due to the instability of transient intermediates that are not accessible via conventional methods. Here we report an atom replacement strategy that enables the rapid preparation of polyketone surrogates by selective atom replacement, thereby providing key substrate mimetics for detailed mechanistic evaluations. Polyketone mimetics are positioned on the actinorhodin acyl carrier protein (actACP) to probe the underpinnings of substrate association upon nascent chain elongation and processivity. Protein NMR is used to visualize substrate interaction with the actACP, where a tetraketide substrate is shown not to bind within the protein, while heptaketide and octaketide substrates show strong association between helix II and IV. To examine the later cyclization stages, we extended this strategy to prepare stabilized cyclic intermediates and evaluate their binding by the actACP. Elongated monocyclic mimics show much longer residence time within actACP than shortened analogs. Taken together, these observations suggest ACP-substrate association occurs both before and after ketoreductase action upon the fully elongated polyketone, indicating a key role played by the ACP within PKS timing and processivity. These atom replacement mimetics offer new tools to study protein and substrate interactions and are applicable to a wide variety of PKSs.

Cyclic esters and cyclodepsipeptides derived from lactide and 2,5-morpholinediones.

Project description:The reaction between Bu(n)Li in benzene and the solid polystyrene support PS-C6H4CH2NH2 leads to a lithiated species that can be represented as PS-C6H4CH2NHLi(LiBu)x, where x approximately 4, which is active in the ring-opening of the cyclic esters L-lactide, rac-lactide, and 2,5-morpholinediones. With approximately 10 eq of these monomeric six-membered rings and with heating, cyclic esters (MeCHC(O)O)n and [MeCHC(O)OCHRC(NH)O]n are reversibly released to the solution. These have been characterized by electrospray ionization MS, and some small rings have been separated by gel-permeation chromatography. Addition of NaBPh4 to a heated benzene solution containing these rings preferentially removes the 18-membered rings from solution. For lactide this is shown to form the basis for chemical amplification from a dynamic combinatorial library and lactide can be converted to (MeCHC(O)O)6 in >80% yield. Metallated supports derived from Me2Mg and Et2Zn are less reactive but do show some ability for lactide ring-enlarging. The 18-membered ring (R,R,R,S,S,S)- and meso-(R,S,R,S,R,S)-(MeCHC(O)O)6 and the 24-membered ring (MeCHC(O)OCHPr(i)C(NH)O)4 have been characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies, together with the complex Na[eta3-S,S,S,S,S,S-(MeCHC(O)O)6]2BPh4.

One-pot synthesis of glycyrrhetic acid polyglycosides based on grafting-from method using cyclic sulfite.

Project description:Glycyrrhetic acid polyglycosides were synthesized in one-pot via cationic ring-opening condensation polymerization of cyclic sulfite (4) initiated by glycyrrhetic acid as an aglycon. Sulfite 4 worked as a practical monomer for the preparation of (1 → 2)-linked polysaccharide skeletons. The chemical stability of 4 was evaluated by the comparison of thermodynamic parameters with those of conventional epoxide (2). The grafting reaction of 4 from glycyrrhetic acid (5) was performed in the presence of TfOH and MS 3A in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The polymerization degree was moderately controllable by the change of feed ratio of initiator.

Oxidation triggers extensive conjugation and unusual stabilization of two di-heme dication diradical intermediates: role of bridging group for electronic communication.

Project description:MauG is a diheme enzyme that utilizes two covalently bound c-type hemes to catalyse the biosynthesis of the protein-derived cofactor tryptophan tryptophylquinone. The two hemes are physically separated by 14.5 Å and a hole-hopping mechanism is proposed in which a tryptophan residue located between the hemes undergoes reversible oxidation and reduction to increase the effective electronic coupling element and enhance the rate of reversible electron transfer between the hemes in bis-Fe(iv) MauG. The present work describes the structure and spectroscopic investigation of 2e-oxidations of the synthetic diheme analogs in which two heme centers are covalently connected through a conjugated ethylene bridge that leads to the stabilization of two unusual trans conformations (U and P' forms) with different and distinct spectroscopic and geometric features. Unlike in MauG, where the two oxidizing equivalents are distributed within the diheme system giving rise to the bis-Fe(iv) redox state, the synthetic analog stabilizes two ferric hemes, each coupled with a porphyrin cation radical, a scenario resembling the binuclear dication diradical complex. Interestingly, charge resonance-transition phenomena are observed here both in 1e and 2e-oxidised species from the same system, which are also clearly distinguishable by their relative position and intensity. Detailed UV-vis-NIR, X-ray, Mössbauer, EPR and 1H NMR spectroscopic investigations as well as variable temperature magnetic studies have unraveled strong electronic communications between two porphyrin π-cation radicals through the bridging ethylene group. The extensive π-conjugation also allows antiferromagnetic coupling between iron(iii) centers and porphyrin radical spins of both rings. DFT calculations revealed extended π-conjugation and H-bonding interaction as the major factors in controlling the stability of the conformers.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Giese Reactions: Decarboxylative Additions to Cyclic Vinylogous Amides and Esters.

Project description:An effective strategy has been developed for the photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of cyclic amino acids to both vinylogous amides and esters leading to uniquely substituted heterocycles. The additions take place exclusively trans to the substituent present on the dihydropyridone ring affording stereochemical control about the new carbon-carbon bond. These reactions are operationally simplistic and afford the desired products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Intramolecular Photoreactions of 9-Cyanophenanthrene-Linked Arylcyclopropanes.

Project description:With the aim of developing efficient and useful processes for the preparation of polycyclic organic compounds, intramolecular [3 + 2] photoreactions of 9-cyanophenanthrene-linked arylcyclopropanes were investigated. Photoreactions of 6a,b, which contain respective p-methoxyphenylcyclopropane and phenylcyclopropane moieties, form the intramolecular [3 + 2] photocycloadducts, endo- and exo-7a,b, along with the dihydroisochroman derivatives, cis- and trans-8a,b. The efficiency of the photoreaction of 6a is higher when benzene rather than acetonitrile is used as a solvent. Interestingly, this solvent effect is reversed in the photoreaction of 6b, where the efficiency is higher in acetonitrile than that in benzene. On the basis of the observed effects of substituents and solvents, fluorescence emission from intramolecular exciplexes, and ΔGs for intramolecular single electron transfer (SET), we propose that the photoreactions proceed through pathways involving the initial formation of singlet intramolecular exciplexes and/or SET between the excited 9-cyanophenanthrene and the ground-state arylcyclopropane moieties.

Mixed Anhydride Intermediates in the Reaction of 5(4H)-Oxazolones with Phosphate Esters and Nucleotides.

Project description:5(4H)-Oxazolones can be formed through the activation of acylated α-amino acids or of peptide C termini. They constitute potentially activated intermediates in the abiotic chemistry of peptides that preceded the origin of life or early stages of biology and are capable of yielding mixed carboxylic-phosphoric anhydrides upon reaction with phosphate esters and nucleotides. Here, we present the results of a study aimed at investigating the chemistry that can be built through this interaction. As a matter of fact, the formation of mixed anhydrides with mononucleotides and nucleic acid models is shown to take place at positions involving a mono-substituted phosphate group at the 3'- or 5'-terminus but not at the internal phosphodiester linkages. In addition to the formation of mixed anhydrides, the subsequent intramolecular acyl or phosphoryl transfers taking place at the 3'-terminus are considered to be particularly relevant to the common prebiotic chemistry of α-amino acids and nucleotides.

Cyclic Acetal Formation Between 2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde and gamma-Hydroxy-alpha,beta-Acetylenic Esters.

Project description:A new transformation between 2-pyridinecarboxyaldehyde and gamma-hydroxy-alpha,beta-acetylenic esters to form highly functionalized cyclic acetals was discovered. This transformation proceeds under very mild conditions without any additives and is promoted by the basic nature of the pyridine ring.
