A trifluoroacetic acid-labile sulfonate protecting group and its use in the synthesis of a near-IR fluorophore.

ABSTRACT: Sulfonated molecules exhibit high water solubility, a property that is valuable for many biological applications but often complicates their synthesis and purification. Here we report a sulfonate protecting group that is resistant to nucleophilic attack but readily removed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The use of this protecting group improved the synthesis of a sulfonated near-IR fluorophore and the mild deprotection conditions allowed isolation of the product without requiring chromatography.

Synthesis of near-IR fluorescent oxazine dyes with esterase-labile sulfonate esters.

Project description:Near-IR oxazine dyes are reported that contain sulfonate esters which are rapidly cleaved by esterase activity to unmask highly polar anionic sulfonates. Strategies for the synthesis of these dyes included the development of milder dye condensation conditions with improved functional compatibility and the use of an alkyl halide that allows for the introduction of esterase-labile sulfonates without the need for sulfonation of the target molecule.

Reductively-labile sulfonate ester protecting groups that are rapidly cleaved by physiological glutathione.

Project description:Sulfonates are frequently used to endow water solubility on hydrophobic molecules, but the repertoire of sulfonate protecting groups remains limited. Here we describe the first sulfonate esters that can be unmasked by the mild reducing conditions found in live mammalian cells. Self-immolative cleavage releases the sulfonate and the two-electron reduction product of a thioquinone methide.

Suppression of alpha-carbon racemization in peptide synthesis based on a thiol-labile amino protecting group.

Project description:In conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), α-amino groups are protected with alkoxycarbonyl groups (e.g., 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl [Fmoc]). However, during SPPS, inherent side reactions of the protected amino acids (e.g., α-C racemization and aspartimide formation) generate by-products that are hard to remove. Herein, we report a thiol-labile amino protecting group for SPPS, the 2,4-dinitro-6-phenyl-benzene sulfenyl (DNPBS) group, which is attached to the α-amino group via a S-N bond and can be quantitatively removed in minutes under nearly neutral conditions (1 M p-toluenethiol/pyridine). The use of DNPBS greatly suppresses the main side reactions observed during conventional SPPS. Although DNPBS SPPS is not as efficient as Fmoc SPPS, especially for synthesis of long peptides, DNPBS and Fmoc are orthogonal protecting groups; and thus DNPBS SPPS and Fmoc SPPS can be combined to synthesize peptides that are otherwise difficult to obtain.

Protein labelling and albumin binding characteristics of the near-IR Cy7 fluorophore, QuatCy.

Project description:Free cysteine residues react with QuatCy 1, by simply mixing the protein and dye in aqueous buffer at 37 °C. Another dye, MHI-148, can be used for a similar labelling protocol, but QuatCy reacts faster with all proteins studied, except albumin; it emerges here that this is because MHI-148 instantly forms of a non-covalent complex with albumin, but QuatCy does not. Labelling with QuatCy has advantages insofar as it is over five times brighter, and much more photostable, than MHI-148, and combination labelling with this dye pair will allow multiplexing in the near-IR region.

Stepwise, Protecting Group Free Synthesis of [4]Rotaxanes.

Project description:Despite significant advances in the last three decades towards high yielding syntheses of rotaxanes, the preparation of systems constructed from more than two components remains a challenge. Herein we build upon our previous report of an active template copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) rotaxane synthesis with a diyne in which, following the formation of the first mechanical bond, the steric bulk of the macrocycle tempers the reactivity of the second alkyne unit. We have now extended this approach to the use of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene in order to successively prepare [2]-, [3]- and [4]rotaxanes without the need for protecting group chemistry. Whilst the first two iterations proceeded in good yield, the steric shielding that affords this selectivity also significantly reduces the efficacy of the active template (AT)-CuAAC reaction of the third alkyne towards the preparation of [4]rotaxanes, resulting in severely diminished yields.

A Protecting-Group-Free Synthesis of (-)-Salvinorin A.

Project description:A concise enantioselective total synthesis of the neoclerodane diterpene (-)-salvinorin A is reported. The stereogenic center at C-12 was installed by catalytic asymmetric propargylation with excellent enantioselectivity, and the remaining six stereogenic centers were set up highly diastereoselectively under substrate control. As for our previous synthesis of racemic salvinorin A, two intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions were applied to generate the tricyclic core. A chemoselective Mitsunobu inversion of a syn 1,2-diol allowed for further streamlining of the original reaction sequence by two steps. Overall, (-)-salvinorin A was synthesized in only 16 steps starting from 3-furaldehyde with 1.4 % total yield. Furthermore, an alternative intramolecular Diels-Alder strategy employing a 2-bromo-1,3-diene moiety was investigated.

Sustainable Peptide Synthesis Enabled by a Transient Protecting Group.

Project description:The growing interest in synthetic peptides has prompted the development of viable methods for their sustainable production. Currently, large amounts of toxic solvents are required for peptide assembly from protected building blocks, and switching to water as a reaction medium remains a major hurdle in peptide chemistry. We report an aqueous solid-phase peptide synthesis strategy that is based on a water-compatible 2,7-disulfo-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Smoc) protecting group. This approach enables peptide assembly under aqueous conditions, real-time monitoring of building block coupling, and efficient postsynthetic purification. The procedure for the synthesis of all natural and several non-natural Smoc-protected amino acids is described, as well as the assembly of 22 peptide sequences and the fundamental issues of SPPS, including the protecting group strategy, coupling and cleavage efficiency, stability under aqueous conditions, and crucial side reactions.

A fluorous phosphate protecting group with applications to carbohydrate synthesis.

Project description:The first fluorous protecting group for phosphate is reported. This group can be used as a facile tag for purification and be removed under mild reducing conditions using zinc and ammonium formate. Synthesis of a disaccharide from Leishmania using this fluorous protecting group demonstrated the group's stability to the acidic conditions necessary for glycosylation as well as its orthogonality to several other common protecting groups.

A Photolabile Carboxyl Protecting Group for Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:A new kind of photolabile protecting group (PLPG) for carboxyl moieties was designed and synthesized as the linker between resin and peptide. This group can be used for the protection of amino acid carboxyl groups. The peptide was synthesized on Nph (2-hydroxy-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-heptanoic acid)-derivatized resins and could be cleaved under UV exposure, thus avoiding the necessity for harsh acid-mediated resin cleavage. The PLPG has been successfully used for solid-phase synthesis of peptides.

Near-IR to Near-IR Upconversion Luminescence in Molecular Chromium Ytterbium Salts.

Project description:Upconversion photoluminescence in hetero-oligonuclear metal complex architectures featuring organic ligands is an interesting but still rarely observed phenomenon, despite its great potential from a basic research and application perspective. In this context, a new photonic material consisting of molecular chromium(III) and ytterbium(III) complex ions was developed that exhibits excitation-power density-dependent cooperative sensitization of the chromium-centered 2 E/2 T1 phosphorescence at approximately 775 nm after excitation of the ytterbium band 2 F7/2 →2 F5/2 at approximately 980 nm in the solid state at ambient temperature. The upconversion process is insensitive to atmospheric oxygen and can be observed in the presence of water molecules in the crystal lattice.
