Pyran formation by an atypical CYP-mediated four-electron oxygenation-cyclization cascade in an engineered aureothin pathway.

ABSTRACT: Small changes, big effect: A new aureothin derivative, aureopyran, which features an unusual pyran backbone, was generated by simply altering the enzymatic methylation topology. The ?-pyrone ring hampers the correct placement of the polyketide backbone in the multifunctional cytochrome P450 monooxygenase AurH. Instead of a tetrahydrofuran ring, an oxo intermediate is formed that readily undergoes a rare electrocyclization reaction.

Modeling Pyran Formation in the Molybdenum Cofactor: Protonation of Quinoxalyl-Dithiolene Promoting Pyran Cyclization.

Project description:Mononuclear Mo and W enzymes require a unique ligand known as molybdopterin (MPT). This ligand binds the metal through a dithiolene chelate, and the dithiolene bridges a reduced pyranopterin group. Pyran scission and formation have been proposed as a reaction of the MPT ligand that may occur within the enzymes to adjust reactivity at the Mo atom. We address this issue by investigating oxo-Mo(IV) model complexes containing dithiolenes substituted by pterin or quinoxaline and a hydroxyalkyl poised to form a pyran ring. While the pterin-dithiolene model complex exhibits a low energy, reversible pyran cyclization, here we report that pyran cyclization does not spontaneously occur in the quinoxalyl-dithiolene model. However, protonating the quinoxalyl-dithiolene model induces pyran cyclization forming an unstable, pyrano-quinoxalyl-dithiolene complex which subsequently dehydrates and rearranges to a pyrrolo-quinoxlyl-dithiolene complex that was previously characterized. The protonated pyrano-quinoxalyl-dithiolene complex was characterized by absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, and these results suggest pyran cyclization leads to a significant change in the Mo electronic structure exhibited as a strong intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) transition and 370 mV positive shift of the Mo(V/IV) reduction potential. The influence of protonation on quinoxaline reactivity supports the hypothesis that the local protein environment in the second coordination sphere of molybdenum cofactor (Moco) could control pyran cyclization. The results also demonstrate that the remarkable chemical reactivity of the pterin-dithiolene ligand is subtly distinct and not reproduced by the simpler quinoxaline analog that is often used to replace pterin in synthetic Moco models.

Electrophilic aromatic prenylation via cascade cyclization.

Project description:To gain access to prenylated hexahydroxanthenes, tandem cascade cyclization-electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions have been studied on substrates bearing allylic and propargylic substituents. Both BF3·OEt2 and TMSOTf can be used to initiate this reaction sequence, resulting in different ratios of the C-2 and C-6 substitution products. Even though allylic transposition is observed in some cases, the results of a crossover experiment are consistent with an intramolecular reaction sequence. Taken together, these studies now allow preparation of either the C-2 or C-6 prenylated hexahydroxanthene products.

"Golden" Cascade Cyclization to Benzo[c]-Phenanthridines.

Project description:Herein, we describe a gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization of Boc-protected benzylamines bearing two tethered alkyne moieties in a domino reaction initiated by a 6-endo-dig cyclization. The reaction was screened intensively, and the scope was explored, resulting in nine new Boc-protected dihydrobenzo[c]phenanthridines with yields of up to 98 %; even a π-extension and two bidirectional approaches were successful. Furthermore, thermal cleavage of the Boc group and subsequent oxidation gave substituted benzo[c]phenanthridines in up to quantitative yields. Two bidirectional approaches under the optimized conditions were successful, and the resulting π-extended molecules were tested as organic semiconductors in organic thin-film transistors.

Cyclization cascade of allenyl azides: a dual mechanism.

Project description:A density functional theory based computational approach to describing the mechanistic course of the allene azide cycloaddition cascade sequence has been developed. The results of these calculations permit characterization of key reactive intermediates (diradicals and/or indolidenes) and explain the different behaviors observed in the experimental studies between conjugated and nonconjugated species. Furthermore, computational analysis of certain intermediates offer insight into issues of regioselectivity and stereoselectivity in cases where different reaction channels are in competition, suggesting suitable substitutions to achieve a single regioisomer in the indole synthesis via azide-allene cyclization.

Gold(I)-catalyzed cascade cyclization of allenyl epoxides.

Project description:Cationic gold(I) phosphite catalysts activate allenes for epoxide cascade reactions. The system is tolerant of numerous functional groups (sulfones, esters, ethers, sulfonamides) and proceeds at room temperature in dichloromethane. The cyclization pathway is sensitive to the substitution pattern of the epoxide and the backbone structure of the A-ring. It is capable of producing medium-ring ethers, fused 6-5 bicyclic, and linked pyran-furan structures. The resulting cycloisomers are reminiscent of structures found in numerous polyether natural products.

Cyclization vs. cyclization/dimerization in o-amidostilbene radical cation cascade reactions: the amide question.

Project description:The n-butyramido, isobutyramido, benzamido, and furancarboxamido functions profoundly modulate the electronics of the stilbene olefinic and NH groups and the corresponding radical cations in ways that influence the efficiency of the cyclization due presumably to conformational and stereoelectronic factors. For example, isobutyramido- stilbene undergoes FeCl(3) promoted cyclization to produce only indoline, while n-butyramidostilbene, under the same conditions, produces both indoline and bisindoline.

Implications of Pyran Cyclization and Pterin Conformation on Oxidized Forms of the Molybdenum Cofactor.

Project description:The large family of mononuclear molybdenum and tungsten enzymes all possess the special ligand molybdopterin (MPT), which consists of a metal-binding dithiolene chelate covalently bound to a pyranopterin group. MPT pyran cyclization/scission processes have been proposed to modulate the reactivity of the metal center during catalysis. We have designed several small-molecule models for the Mo-MPT cofactor that allow detailed investigation into how pyran cyclization modulates electronic communication between the dithiolene and pterin moieties and how this cyclization alters the electronic environment of the molybdenum catalytic site. Using a combination of cyclic voltammetry, vibrational spectroscopy (FT-IR and rR), electronic absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, distinct changes in the Mo≡O stretching frequency, Mo(V/IV) reduction potential, and electronic structure across the pterin-dithiolene ligand are observed as a function of pyran ring closure. The results are significant, for they reveal that a dihydropyranopterin is electronically coupled into the Mo-dithiolene group due to a coplanar conformation of the pterin and dithiolene units, providing a mechanism for the electron-deficient pterin to modulate the Mo environment. A spectroscopic signature identified for the dihydropyranopterin-dithiolene ligand on Mo is a strong dithiolene → pterin charge transfer transition. In the absence of a pyran group bridge between pterin and dithiolene, the pterin rotates out of plane, largely decoupling the system. The results support a hypothesis that pyran cyclization/scission processes in MPT may function as a molecular switch to electronically couple and decouple the pterin and dithiolene to adjust the redox properties in certain pyranopterin molybdenum enzymes.

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization/arylation cascade for 2-aroylindolizine synthesis.

Project description:An efficient synthesis of densely substituted 2-aroylindolizines via the palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization/arylation is reported. This transformation proceeds via the 5-endo-dig cyclization of 2-propargylpyridine triggered by an aroyl Pd complex. It produced diversely substituted 2-aroylindolizines in good to excellent yields.
