The Use of a Combination of RDC and Chiroptical Spectroscopy for Determination of the Absolute Configuration of Fusariumin A from the Fungus Fusarium sp.

ABSTRACT: A new alkylpyrrole derivative, fusariumin A (1), was isolated from the culture broth of the fungus Fusarium sp. The absolute configuration of fuasiumin A has been established as (2'R,3'R) using a combination of RDC (residual dipolar coupling)-based NMR and DFT-supported chiroptical spectroscopy. It is worth to note that in this study without the aid of the RDC analysis, an unambiguous determination of configuration and conformation was not feasible due to the excessive conformational possibilities of this open-chain compound.

Absolute Configuration Determination of Two Diastereomeric Neovasifuranones A and B from Fusarium oxysporum R1 by a Combination of Mosher's Method and Chiroptical Approach.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are one of prolific sources of bioactive natural products with potential application in biomedicine and agriculture. In our continuous search for antimicrobial secondary metabolites from Fusarium oxysporum R1 associated with traditional Chinese medicinal plant Rumex madaio Makino using one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy, two diastereomeric polyketides neovasifuranones A (3) and B (4) were obtained from its solid rice medium together with N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide (1), 1-(3-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone (2) and 1,2-seco-trypacidin (5). Their planar structures were unambiguously determined using 1D NMR and MS spectroscopy techniques as well as comparison with the literature data. By a combination of the modified Mosher's reactions and chiroptical methods using time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), the absolute configurations of compounds 3 and 4 are firstly confirmed and, respectively, characterized as (4S,7S,8R), (4S,7S,8S). Bioassay results indicate that these metabolites 1-5 exhibit weak inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori 159 with MIC values of ≥16 μg/mL. An in-depth discussion for enhancement of fungal metabolite diversity is also proposed in this work.

Absolute Configuration and Conformation of (-)-R-t-Butylphenylphosphinoamidate: Chiroptical Spectroscopy and X-ray Analysis.

Project description:The absolute configuration and conformations of (-)-tert-butylphenylphosphinoamidate were determined using three different chiroptical spectroscopic methods, namely vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD). In each of the spectroscopic methods used, experimental data for the (-)-enantiomer of tert-butylphenylphosphinoamidate were measured in the solution phase. Using the concentration-dependent experimental infrared spectra, the existence of dimers in the solution was investigated, and the monomer-dimer equilibrium constant was determined. Concomitant quantum mechanical predictions of the VCD, ECD, and ORD for monomeric tert-butylphenylphosphinoamidate were carried out using density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(d), 6-311G(2d,2p) and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. Similar predictions for dimeric tert-butylphenylphosphinoamidate were also obtained using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method. A comparison of theoretically predicted data with the corresponding experimental data led to the elucidation of the absolute configuration as (-)-(R)-tert-butylphenylphosphinoamidate with one predominant conformation in the solution. This conclusion was independently supported by X-ray analysis of the complex with (+)-R-2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthol ((+)-R- BINOL).

Absolute Configurations of 14,15-Hydroxylated Prenylxanthones from a Marine-Derived Aspergillus sp. Fungus by Chiroptical Methods.

Project description:Determination of the absolute configrations for natural products is one of the most important and challenging tasks, especially when the molecules display high conformational flexibility. In this paper, eight new prenylxanthones, aspergixanthones A-H (1-8), and one known analogue (9), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. ZA-01. The absolute configurations of C-14 and C-15 in 1-8 were difficult to be assigned due to the high conformational flexibility of the chains. To solve this problem, the experimental ECD, ORD, and VCD spectra of 1 were combined for analysis with the corresponding theoretical predictions for its different diastereomers. This study suggested that a concerted application of more than one chiroptical methods could be used as a preferable approach for the stereochemical characterizations of flexible molecules. Compounds 1-9 were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. Among them, 6 showed cytotoxicity against the A-549 cell line with the IC50 value of 1.1??M, and 7 exhibited antibacterial activity against Micrococcus lysodeikticus with the MIC value of 0.78??g/mL.

Determination of absolute configuration using kinetic resolution catalysts.

Project description:A new method was developed to assign the absolute configuration of molecules using kinetic resolution catalysts. Secondary alcohols were acylated in the presence of Birman's S-HBTM and R-HBTM catalysts, and the fast-reacting catalyst was identified by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. A mnemonic was developed to assign configuration based on the identity of the fast-reacting catalyst. The method uses only 1-3 mg of alcohol, and it is more convenient than the Mosher method. The kinetic resolution strategy may be extended to other classes of molecules.

Absolute configuration and host-guest binding of chiral porphyrin-cages by a combined chiroptical and theoretical approach.

Project description:Porphyrin cage-compounds are used as biomimetic models and substrate-selective catalysts in supramolecular chemistry. In this work we present the resolution of planar-chiral porphyrin cages and the determination of their absolute configuration by vibrational circular dichroism in combination with density functional theory calculations. The chiral porphyrin-cages form complexes with achiral and chiral viologen-guests and upon binding one of the axial enantiomorphs of the guest is bound selectively, as is indicated by induced-electronic-dichroism-spectra in combination with calculations. This host-guest binding also leads to unusual enhanced vibrational circular dichroism, which is the result of a combination of phenomena, such as rigidification of the host and guest structures, charge transfer, and coupling of specific vibration modes of the host and guest. The results offer insights in how the porphyrin cage-compounds may be used to construct a future molecular Turing machine that can write chiral information onto polymer chains.

A chiroptical approach for the absolute stereochemical determination of P-stereogenic centers.

Project description:A simple chiroptical solution for the absolute stereochemical determination for asymmetric phosphorus V stereocenters is presented. Strong coordination of the phosphorus oxide with the Zn-metallo center of the racemic host Zn-MAPOL 2 leads to an induced axial chirality of the host, yielding a strong ECCD signal. A mnemonic is proposed to correlate the asymmetry of the guest molecule with the observed ECCD signal.

Determination of absolute configuration of secondary alcohols using thin-layer chromatography.

Project description:A new implementation of the competing enantioselective conversion (CEC) method was developed to qualitatively determine the absolute configuration of enantioenriched secondary alcohols using thin-layer chromatography. The entire process for the method requires approximately 60 min and utilizes micromole quantities of the secondary alcohol being tested. A number of synthetically relevant secondary alcohols are presented. Additionally, (1)H NMR spectroscopy was conducted on all samples to provide evidence of reaction conversion that supports the qualitative method presented herein.

Reassignment of the absolute configuration of plakinidone from the sponge consortium Plakortis halichondrioides-Xestospongia deweerdtae using a combination of synthesis and a chiroptical approach.

Project description:Recent work by Wu et al. in connection with the first synthesis of the marine natural product plakinidone revealed that the most salient feature of its purported structure, a six-membered perlactone moiety, was in fact a five-membered lactone, i.e. a 3-methyl-4-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone or tetronic acid ring. With the planar structure of plakinidone confidently revised, we undertook a new investigation to unambiguously establish its absolute configuration. Upon preparing two stable derivatives 1 and 5 from a sample of naturally occurring plakinidone extracted from the sponge association Plakortis halichondriodes-Xetospongia deweerdtae, the absolute configuration was assigned by synthesis and vibrational and electronic circular dichroism (VCD and ECD) measurements in combination with density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ/PCM(CH3CN) level of theory. Our combined efforts and the agreement between the experimental and calculated VCD/ECD spectra of 1 revealed that the absolute configuration of plakinidone was in fact (11S,17R) and not the formerly reported (11S,17S) diastereomer assigned by Wu et al.. Therefore, we propose that natural plakinidone is accurately represented by structure 12.

Chiral Phase Transfer Catalysis in the Asymmetric Synthesis of a 3,3-Disubstituted Isoindolinone and Determination of Its Absolute Configuration by VCD Spectroscopy.

Project description:In this work we report our endeavors toward the development of an asymmetric synthesis of a 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinone, dimethyl 2-(1-methyl-3-oxoisoindolin-1-yl)malonate, via asymmetric cascade reaction of 2-acetylbenzonitrile with dimethylmalonate and the determination of its absolute configuration (AC) by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Bifunctional ammonium salts, derived from trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine in combination with inorganic bases under phase transfer conditions, were the most effective catalytic systems, leading to the target in high yields and moderate enantioselectivity. An efficient process of heterochiral crystallization allowed the increase of the enantiopurity up to 96% ee and in an acceptable overall yield. An important aim of the present work is the comparison of different VCD methodologies for AC determination of the target compound.

Total synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of a natural analgesic: crotonine

Project description:We report the first total synthesis of four possible absolute configurations and four other regional isomers of a naturally occurring alkaloid crotonine, which was isolated from Croton tiglium L. (Euphoriaceae) without elucidation of its absolute configuration. The concise five-step route with a chirally poor and regioselective strategy starting from monosaccharides was established, and the absolute structure of the natural crotonine was determined by comparison of the NMR spectra and optical rotations of the synthetic products. Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available for this article at 10.1007/s13659-013-0080-1 and is accessible for authorized users.
