Catalytic, enantioselective sulfenylation of ketone-derived enoxysilanes.

ABSTRACT: A catalytic, enantioselective, Lewis base-catalyzed α-sulfenylation of silyl enol ethers has been developed. To avoid acidic hydrolysis of the silyl enol ether substrates, a sulfenylating agent that did not require additional Brønsted acid activation, namely N-phenylthiosaccharin, was developed. Three classes of Lewis bases-tertiary amines, sulfides, and selenophosphoramides-were identified as active catalysts for the α-sulfenylation reaction. Among a wide variety of chiral Lewis bases in all three classes, only chiral selenophosphoramides afforded α-phenylthio ketones in generally high yield and with good enantioselectivity. The selectivity of the reaction does not depend on the size of the silyl group but is highly sensitive to the double bond geometry and the bulk of the substituents on the double bond. The most selective substrates are those containing a geminal bulky substituent on the enoxysilane. Computational analysis revealed that the enantioselectivity arises from an intriguing interplay among sterically guided approach, distortion energy, and orbital interactions.

Enantioselective catalytic transannular ketone-ene reactions.

Project description:Highly enantio- and diastereoselective transannular ketone-ene reactions are catalyzed by a new chromium(III) triflate tridentate Schiff base complex. Electronically unactivated keto-olefins undergo heteroene reactions at ambient temperature to afford enantioenriched bicyclic alcohols, common structural motifs in natural products. The kinetic resolution of a configurationally stable planar-chiral cyclodecenone is also described.

Divergent enantioselective synthesis of hapalindole-type alkaloids using catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketone to construct the chiral core structure.

Project description:A divergent enantioselective approach to hapalindole-type alkaloids is described. The route features a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketone via DKR to construct the chiral trans-1-indolyl-2-isopropenylcyclohexane skeleton and a switchable sequence of methylation and acetylation/aldol reaction to access a chiral quaternary stereocenter. (+)-Hapalindole Q (1, 13 steps, 5.9% overall yield), (-)-12-epi-hapalindole Q isonitrile (2, 15 steps, 5.5% overall yield), (-)-hapalindole D (3, 14 steps, 2.3% overall yield), and (+)-12-epi-fischerindole U isothiocyanate (4, 14 steps, 3.0% overall yield) were synthesized in 13-15 steps from a commercially available material to demonstrate the application of this approach.

Stereodivergency of triazolium and imidazolium-derived NHCs for catalytic, enantioselective cyclopentane synthesis.

Project description:Chiral triazolium- and imidazolium-derived N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts promote the direct annulation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and achiral alpha-hydroxy enones to afford cyclopentane-fused lactones with high enantioselectivity. Remarkably, otherwise structurally identical imidazolium and triazolium precatalysts afford different major products. These studies provide both an efficient entry to valuable chiral structures and a dramatic demonstration of stereodivergency of chiral imidazolium versus triazolium-derived N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts.

Peroxide-dependent sulfenylation of the EGFR catalytic site enhances kinase activity.

Project description:Protein sulfenylation is a post-translational modification of emerging importance in higher eukaryotes. However, investigation of its diverse roles remains challenging, particularly within a native cellular environment. Herein we report the development and application of DYn-2, a new chemoselective probe for detecting sulfenylated proteins in human cells. These studies show that epidermal growth factor receptor-mediated signaling results in H(2)O(2) production and oxidation of downstream proteins. In addition, we demonstrate that DYn-2 has the ability to detect differences in sulfenylation rates within the cell, which are associated with differences in target protein localization. We also show that the direct modification of epidermal growth factor receptor by H(2)O(2) at a critical active site cysteine (Cys797) enhances its tyrosine kinase activity. Collectively, our findings reveal sulfenylation as a global signaling mechanism that is akin to phosphorylation and has regulatory implications for other receptor tyrosine kinases and irreversible inhibitors that target oxidant-sensitive cysteines in proteins.

A peptide-embedded trifluoromethyl ketone catalyst for enantioselective epoxidation.

Project description:The development of peptide-based oxidation catalysts that use a transiently generated dioxirane as the chemically active species is reported. The active catalyst is a chiral trifluoromethyl ketone (Tfk) with a pendant carboxylic acid that can be readily incorporated into a peptide. These peptides were capable of epoxidizing alkenes in high yield (up to 89%) and enantiomeric ratios (er) ranging from 69.0:31.0 to 91.0:9.0, depending on the alkene substitution pattern.

The enantioselective [3+2] annulation is catalyzed using a scandium(III)/indapybox complex with tetrakis-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-borate (BArF) to enhance catalytic activity and control stereoselectivity. Functionalized cyclopentanes containing a quaternary carbon center are derived from alkylidene oxindole, coumarin, and malonate substrates with high stereoselectivity.

Catalytic Enantioselective Pyridine N-Oxidation.

Project description:The catalytic, enantioselective N-oxidation of substituted pyridines is described. The approach is predicated on a biomolecule-inspired catalytic cycle wherein high levels of asymmetric induction are provided by aspartic-acid-containing peptides as the aspartyl side chain shuttles between free acid and peracid forms. Desymmetrizations of bis(pyridine) substrates bearing a remote pro-stereogenic center substituted with a group capable of hydrogen bonding to the catalyst are demonstrated. Our approach presents a new entry into chiral pyridine frameworks in a heterocycle-rich molecular environment. Representative functionalizations of the enantioenriched pyridine N-oxides further document the utility of this approach. Demonstration of the asymmetric N-oxidation in two venerable drug-like scaffolds, Loratadine and Varenicline, show the likely generality of the method for highly variable and distinct chiral environments, while also revealing that the approach is applicable to both pyridines and 1,4-pyrazines.
