Dipolar addition to cyclic vinyl sulfones leading to dual conformation tricycles.

ABSTRACT: Dipolar addition of cyclic azomethine imines with cyclic vinyl sulfones gave rise to functionalized tricycles that exhibited fluxional behavior in solution at room temperature. The scope of the synthetic methodology was explored, and the origin of the fluxional behavior was probed by NMR methods together with DFT calculations. This behavior was ultimately attributed to stereochemical inversion at one of two nitrogen centers embedded in the tricyclic framework. Two tetracycles were also synthesized, and the degree of signal-broadening in the NMR spectra was found to depend on the presence of substitution next to the inverting nitrogen center.

Water-soluble allyl sulfones for dual site-specific labelling of proteins and cyclic peptides.

Project description:Water-soluble allyl sulfones provide convenient site-specific disulfide rebridging of native proteins and cyclic peptides. The site-selective functionalization of (a) the peptide hormone somatostatin, (b) the interchain disulfide of bovine insulin and (c) functionalization of the proteins GFP and lysozyme with allyl sulfones proceeds in aqueous solution. Allyl sulfones offer three functionalizable sites that react with thiol containing molecules in a step-wise fashion. Dual labeling of proteins and cyclic peptides is achieved i.e. the attachment of a chromophore and an affinity tag in a single reaction step, which is of great significance for the construction of precise multifunctional peptide and protein conjugates.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed rearrangements of vinyl sulfones.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbenes catalyze the rearrangement of 1,1-bis(arylsulfonyl)ethylene to the corresponding trans-1,2-bis(phenylsulfonyl) under mild conditions. Tandem rearrangement/cycloadditions have been developed to capitalize on this new process and generate highly substituted isoxazolines and additional heterocyclic compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a new conjugate addition/Umpolung process involving the ejection and subsequent unusual re-addition of a sulfinate ion.

Construction of 1,3-Nonadjacent Stereogenic Centers Through Enantioselective Addition of α-Thioacetamides to α-Substituted Vinyl Sulfones Catalyzed by Chiral Strong Bronsted Base.

Project description:An enantioselective addition reaction for the construction of 1,3-nonadjacent stereogenic centers is developed by means of a chiral strong Brønsted base catalyst. The chiral sodium ureate catalyst efficiently promoted the reaction of α-thioacetamides as less acidic pronucleophiles with vinyl sulfones having a variety of α-substituents including aryl, alkyl and halo groups, and α-phenylacrylates, accomplishing the construction of various 1,3-nonadjacent stereogenic centers in highly diastereo- and enantioselective manners. This is a rare example of the construction of 1,3-nonadjacent stereogenic centers with less acidic pronucleophiles. In addition, the application of Michael acceptors having various types of α-substituents in a single catalyst system is achieved for the first time, demonstrating the utility of the present catalyst system for the construction of 1,3-nonadjacent stereogenic centers.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Difunctionalized Cyclic Sulfones.

Project description:As saturated heterocyclic building blocks become increasingly popular in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery programs, expansion of the synthetic toolkit to novel stereofunctionalized heterocycles is a priority. Herein, we report the development of a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction to access a broad range of enantioenriched α-difunctionalized 5- and 6-membered sulfones from easily accessible racemic starting materials. The allylic alkylation step was found to occur with high levels of enantioselectivity as a result of a palladium-mediated dynamic kinetic resolution of E/Z enolate intermediates. This methodology paves the way to hitherto unexplored stereodefined cyclic sulfones for medicinal chemistry applications.

Vinyl sulfones as antiparasitic agents and a structural basis for drug design.

Project description:Cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily are implicated in a number of cellular processes and are important virulence factors in the pathogenesis of parasitic disease. These enzymes have therefore emerged as promising targets for antiparasitic drugs. We report the crystal structures of three major parasite cysteine proteases, cruzain, falcipain-3, and the first reported structure of rhodesain, in complex with a class of potent, small molecule, cysteine protease inhibitors, the vinyl sulfones. These data, in conjunction with comparative inhibition kinetics, provide insight into the molecular mechanisms that drive cysteine protease inhibition by vinyl sulfones, the binding specificity of these important proteases and the potential of vinyl sulfones as antiparasitic drugs.

Reactivity of 5-(Alkynyl)dibenzothiophenium Salts: Synthesis of Diynes, Vinyl Sulfones, and Phenanthrenes.

Project description:The reactivity of 5-(alkynyl)dibenzothiophenium salts 1 is explored in the presence of different nucleophiles, dienes, and under photochemical conditions. Reaction with lithium acetylides affords diynes in moderate yields; while depending on the substitution pattern, the reaction with sulfinates delivers either the alkyne transfer products, alkynyl sulfones, or β-(sulfonium) vinyl sulfones through addition to the C-C triple bond. Similar behavior is observed when tosylamines are used as nucleophiles. Salts of general formula 1 also react with dienes to render the corresponding Diels-Alder cycloadducts. The vinyl sulfonium salts obtained by these routes further react with nucleophiles through a Michael addition, dibenzothiophene elimination sequence. Alternatively, they also engage in photoinduced radical cyclizations to produce substituted phenanthrenes. Attempts to use this specific addition/radical cyclization sequence for the construction of the 6a,7-dehydroaporphine skeleton present in several families of alkaloids are also described.

Unraveling the photophysical characteristics and biological applications of vinyl sulfones as viscosity sensors.

Project description:For the first time, a series of vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) were introduced for their potential use in biological applications. The fluorophores 4a-4d were readily synthesized upon reduction of the corresponding vinyl sulfones-NO2 (3a-3d), which were prepared by sulfonylation of nitrostyrene. Both types of probes can be prepared in high yields through a few steps with minimal cost. In diverse solvents, probes 4a-4d exhibited fluorescence with strong emission peaking around 403-490 nm. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of probe 4d rose approximately 85-fold with increasing viscosity. The probes 4a-4d demonstrated good stability and photostability in a broad pH range. Moreover, probes 4a-4d showed significantly improved biocompatibility compared to those derived from 3a-3d. For cell imaging applications, the developed probes 4a-4d exhibited much stronger blue fluorescence in cancer cells (HepG2) compared to 3a-3d. In addition, probes 4a-4d exhibited low cytotoxicity within 24 h toward both cancer and normal cells (HEK-293). Interestingly, probe 4d showed great sensitivity to viscosity in cancer cells. As a result, readily prepared vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) offer a promising strategy for further development as cancer cell staining agents.

Depolymerizable Poly(O-vinyl carbamate-alt-sulfones) as Customizable Macromolecular Scaffolds for Mucosal Drug Delivery.

Project description:Interest in stimulus responsive materials and polymers has grown over the years, having shown great promise in a diverse set of applications. For drug delivery, stimulus-responsive polymers have been shown to encapsulate therapeutic cargo such as small molecule drugs or proteins, deliver them to specific locations in the body, and release them so that they can induce a therapeutic effect in the patient. Most hydrolytically degradable polymers are synthesized via nucleophilic, anionic, or cationic polymerization, which generally requires protection of nucleophilic or protic side chains prior to polymerization. Here, we report the synthesis of novel, alternating copolymers of sulfur dioxide and O-vinyl carbamate monomers that boast excellent functional group tolerance and pH-dependent instability. Alternating copolymers were synthesized containing pendant functionalities such as alcohol, carboxylic acid, ester, and azide without deprotection or post-polymerization modification. The copolymers were then formulated via nanoprecipitation into polymer nanoparticles capable of encapsulating small molecule dyes. The polymer nanoparticles were found to degrade rapidly at pH > 6 and were stable even in highly acidic conditions. Based on this observation, a proof-of-concept study for mucosal delivery was performed in polymer nanoparticles entrapped in a mucus model. At pH 8 the diffusion of encapsulated dye was found to be similar to free dye, while at pH 5 the diffusion coefficient was an order of magnitude lower. Cell viability was retained at 200 µg/mL particles after 24 h incubation. These polymers thus show promise as highly customizable scaffolds for mucosal drug delivery.
