Catalytic Upgrading in Bacteria-Compatible Conditions via a Biocompatible Aldol Condensation.

ABSTRACT: Integrating non-enzymatic chemistry with living systems has the potential to greatly expand the types and yields of chemicals that can be sourced from renewable feedstocks. The in situ conversion of microbial metabolites to higher order products will ensure their continuous generation starting from a given cellular reaction mixture. We present here a systematic study of different organocatalysts that enable aldol condensation in biological media under physiological conditions of neutral pH, moderate temperature, and ambient pressure. The relative toxicities of each catalyst were tested against bacteria, and the catalysts were found to provide good yields of homoaldol products in bacterial cultures containing aldehydes. Lastly, we demonstrate that a biocompatible oil can be used to selectively extract the upgraded products, which enabes facile isolation and decreases the product toxicity to microbes.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of ?-Hydroxy Ketones Via DNA-Compatible Organocatalytic Aldol Reactions.

Project description:One-bead one-compound (OBOC) libraries constructed by solid-phase split-and-pool synthesis are a valuable source of protein ligands. Most OBOC libraries are composed of oligoamides, particularly peptides, peptoids, and peptoid-inspired molecules. Further diversification of the chemical space covered by OBOC libraries is desirable. Toward this end, we report here that the proline-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction, developed by List and Barbas for solution-phase synthesis, also works well for coupling immobilized aldehydes and soluble ketones. These reaction conditions do not compromise the amplification of DNA by the polymerase chain reaction. Thus, this chemistry should be useful for the construction of novel DNA-encoded OBOC libraries by solid-phase synthesis.

Regioselective Crossed Aldol Reactions under Mild Conditions via Synergistic Gold-Iron Catalysis.

Project description:A synergistic gold/iron catalytic system was developed for sequential alkyne hydration and vinyl gold addition to aldehydes or ketones. Fe(acac)3 was identified as an essential co-catalyst in preventing vinyl gold protodeauration and facilitating nucleophilic additions. Effective C-C bond formation was achieved under mild conditions (r.t.) with excellent regioselectivity and high efficiency (1% [Au], up to 95% yields). Extending reaction scope to intramolecular fashion achieved successful macrocyclization (16-31 ring sizes) with excellent yields (up to 90%, gram-scale) without extended dilution (0.2 M), which highlighted the great potential of this new crossed-aldol strategy in challenging target molecule synthesis.

Five-membered ring annelation in [2.2]paracyclophanes by aldol condensation.

Project description:Under basic conditions 4,5,12,13-tetraacetyl[2.2]paracyclophane (9) cyclizes by a double aldol condensation to provide the two aldols 12 and 15 in a 3:7 ratio. The structures of these compounds were obtained from X-ray structural analysis, spectroscopic data, and mechanistic considerations. On acid treatment 12 is dehydrated to a mixture of the condensed five-membered [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives 18-20, whereas 15 yields a mixture of the isomeric cyclopentadienones 21-23. The structures of these elimination products are also deduced from X-ray and spectroscopic data. The sequence presented here constitutes the simplest route so far to cyclophanes carrying an annelated five-membered ring.

Vinylene-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks by Base-Catalyzed Aldol Condensation.

Project description:Two 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) linked by vinylene (-CH=CH-) groups (V-COF-1 and V-COF-2) are synthesized by exploiting the electron deficient nature of the aromatic s-triazine unit of C3 -symmetric 2,4,6-trimethyl-s-triazine (TMT). The acidic terminal methyl hydrogens of TMT can easily be abstracted by a base, resulting in a stabilized carbanion, which further undergoes aldol condensation with multitopic aryl aldehydes to be reticulated into extended crystalline frameworks (V-COFs). Both V-COF-1 (with terepthalaldehyde (TA)) and V-COF-2 (with 1,3,5-tris(p-formylphenyl)benzene (TFPB)) are polycrystalline and exhibit permanent porosity and BET surface areas of 1341?m2 ?g-1 and 627?m2 ?g-1 , respectively. Owing to the close proximity (3.52?Å) of the pre-organized vinylene linkages within adjacent 2D layers stacked in eclipsed fashion, [2+2] photo-cycloadditon in V-COF-1 formed covalent crosslinks between the COF layers.

A catalytic enantioselective stereodivergent aldol reaction.

Project description:The aldol reaction is among the most powerful and strategically important carbon-carbon bond-forming transformations in organic chemistry. The importance of the aldol reaction in constructing chiral building blocks for complex small-molecule synthesis has spurred continuous efforts toward the development of direct catalytic variants. The realization of a general catalytic aldol reaction with control over both the relative and absolute configurations of the newly formed stereogenic centers has been a longstanding goal in the field. Here, we report a decarboxylative aldol reaction that provides access to all four possible stereoisomers of the aldol product in one step from identical reactants. The mild reaction can be carried out on a large scale in an open flask, and generates CO2 as the only by-product. The method tolerates a broad substrate scope and generates chiral β-hydroxy thioester products with substantial downstream utility.

Catalytic insertion of aldehydes into dihalonitroacetophenones via sequential bond scission-aldol reaction-acyl transfer.

Project description:A catalytic process that provides dihalogenated nitro alcohols in up to 99% yield and with 100% atom economy is described. In situ cleavage of dihalonitroacetophenones affords nitronates that undergo Lewis acid catalyzed addition to aldehydes. Final benzoylation renders the sequence irreversible and regenerates the bond scission and acyl transfer agent.

Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic spiranes <i>via</i> a decarboxylative aldol cyclization.

Project description:The synthesis of a variety of enantioenriched 1,3-diketospiranes from the corresponding racemic allyl β-ketoesters via an interrupted asymmetric allylic alkylation is disclosed. Substrates possessing pendant aldehydes undergo decarboxylative enolate formation in the presence of a chiral Pd catalyst and subsequently participate in an enantio- and diastereoselective, intramolecular aldol reaction to furnish spirocyclic β-hydroxy ketones which may be oxidized to the corresponding enantioenriched diketospiranes. Additionally, this chemistry has been extended to α-allylcarboxy lactam substrates leading to a formal synthesis of the natural product (-)-isonitramine.

Elucidating the Mechanism of Ambient-Temperature Aldol Condensation of Acetaldehyde on Ceria.

Project description:Using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we conclusively demonstrate that acetaldehyde (AcH) undergoes aldol condensation when flown over ceria octahedral nanoparticles, and the reaction is desorption-limited at ambient temperature. trans-Crotonaldehyde (CrH) is the predominant product whose coverage builds up on the catalyst with time on stream. The proposed mechanism on CeO2(111) proceeds via AcH enolization (i.e., α C-H bond scission), C-C coupling, and further enolization and dehydroxylation of the aldol adduct, 3-hydroxybutanal, to yield trans-CrH. The mechanism with its DFT-calculated parameters is consistent with reactivity at ambient temperature and with the kinetic behavior of the aldol condensation of AcH reported on other oxides. The slightly less stable cis-CrH can be produced by the same mechanism depending on how the enolate and AcH are positioned with respect to each other in C-C coupling. All vibrational modes in DRIFTS are identified with AcH or trans-CrH, except for a feature at 1620 cm-1 that is more intense relative to the other bands on the partially reduced ceria sample than on the oxidized sample. It is identified to be the C=C stretch mode of CH3CHOHCHCHO adsorbed on an oxygen vacancy. It constitutes a deep energy minimum, rendering oxygen vacancies an inactive site for CrH formation under given conditions.
