Five-Membered Ring Peroxide Selectively Initiates Ferroptosis in Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: A 1,2-dioxolane (FINO2) was identified as a lead compound from a screen of organic peroxides. FINO2 does not induce apoptosis, but instead initiates ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, oxidative cell death pathway. Few compounds are known to induce primarily ferroptosis. In contrast to the perceived instability of peroxides, FINO2 was found to be thermally stable to at least 150 °C. FINO2 was more potent in cancer cells than nonmalignant cells of the same type. One of the enantiomers was found to be more responsible for the observed activity.

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.

Constraint of a ruthenium-carbon triple bond to a five-membered ring.

Project description:The incorporation of a metal-carbon triple bond into a ring system is challenging because of the linear nature of triple bonds. To date, the synthesis of these complexes has been limited to those containing third-row transition metal centers, namely, osmium and rhenium. We report the synthesis and full characterization of the first cyclic metal carbyne complex with a second-row transition metal center, ruthenapentalyne. It shows a bond angle of 130.2(3)° around the sp-hybridized carbyne carbon, which represents the recorded smallest angle of second-row transition metal carbyne complexes, as it deviates nearly 50° from the original angle (180°). Density functional theory calculations suggest that the inherent aromatic nature of these metallacycles with bent Ru?C-C moieties enhances their stability. Reactivity studies showed striking observations, such as ambiphilic reactivity, a metal-carbon triple bond shift, and a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with alkyne and cascade cyclization reactions with ambident nucleophiles.

A Planar Five-Membered Aromatic Ring Stabilized by Only Two π-Electrons.

Project description:Many chemicals known today are partially or fully aromatic, since a ring framework experiences additional stabilization through the delocalization of π-electrons. While aromatic rings with equal numbers of π-electrons and ring atoms such as benzene are particularly stable, those with the minimally required two π-electrons are very rare and yet remain limited to three- and four-membered rings if not stabilized in the coordination sphere of heavy metals. Here we report the facile synthesis of a dipotassium cyclopentagallene, a unique example of a five-membered aromatic ring stabilized by only two π-electrons. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a planar Ga5 ring with almost equal gallium-gallium bond lengths, which together with computational and spectroscopic data confirm its aromatic character. Our results prove that aromatic stabilization goes far beyond what has previously been assumed as minimum π-electron count in a five-atom ring fragment.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Five-Membered-Ring Atropisomers with a Chiral Rh(III) Complex.

Project description:Axially chiral atropisomeric compounds are widely applied in asymmetric catalysis and medicinal chemistry, and efficient methods for their synthesis are in high demand. This applies in particular to atropisomers derived from five-membered aromatic rings because their lower barrier for rotation among the biaryl axis limits their asymmetric synthesis. We report here an enantioselective C-H functionalization method using our chiral RhJasCp complex for the synthesis of the biaryl atropisomer types that can be accessed from three different five-membered-ring heterocycles.

Nucleophilic addition to silyl-protected five-membered ring oxocarbenium ions governed by stereoelectronic effects.

Project description:A series of fused-bicyclic acetals containing a disiloxane ring was investigated to evaluate the source of selectivity in silyl-protected 2-deoxyribose systems. The disiloxane ring unexpectedly enables the diaxial conformer of the cation to be stabilized by an electronegative atom at C-3. This low energy conformer subsequently undergoes stereoelectronically controlled nucleophilic addition to give substituted tetrahydrofurans with high diastereoselectivity.

Photoinduced Carboborative Ring Contraction Enables Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Multiply Substituted Five-Membered Carbocycles and Heterocycles.

Project description:We report herein a photoinduced carboborative ring contraction of monounsaturated six-membered carbocycles and heterocycles. The reaction produces substituted five-membered ring systems stereoselectively and on preparative scales. The products feature multiple stereocenters, including contiguous quaternary carbons. We show that the reaction can serve as a synthetic platform for ring system alteration of natural products. The reaction can also be used in natural product synthesis. A concise total synthesis of artalbic acid has been enabled by a sequence of photoinduced carboborative ring contraction, Rauhut-Currier reaction, and nitrilase-catalyzed hydrolysis. The synthetic utility of the reaction has been further demonstrated by converting the intermediate organoboranes to alcohols, amines, and alkenes.

Mechanistic Investigations on the Photoisomerization Reactions of Five-Membered Ring Heterocyclic Molecules Containing Sulfur and Selenium Atoms.

Project description:The restricted active space self-consistent field method in the 26-electron/27-orbital active space and the 6-311(d) basis set has been used to investigate the mechanisms of the photochemical isomerization reactions concerning the model systems of 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole. The computational works suggest that the preferred reaction paths for both 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-selenadiazole are as follows: reactant → Franck-Condon region → conical intersection → intermediate → transition states → photoproducts. As a result, the structures of the conical intersections, which play a decisive role in these photoisomerization reactions, are obtained. In particular, the present theoretical evidences demonstrate that the potential energy surfaces for the formation of 1,3-diradicals are quite flat. This may explain why their experimental detections are so difficult.

Effect of conformational rigidity on the stereoselectivity of nucleophilic additions to five-membered ring bicyclic oxocarbenium ion intermediates.

Project description:Nucleophilic substitution reactions of five-membered ring acetals bearing fused rings reveal that subtle changes in the structure of the fused ring can exert dramatic influences on selectivity. If the fused ring did not constrain the five-membered ring undergoing substitution, selectivity was comparable to what was observed for an unconstrained system (?92% diastereoselectivity, favoring the product of inside attack on the oxocarbenium ion). If the ring were more constrained by including at least one oxygen atom in the ring, selectivity dropped considerably (to 60% diastereoselectivity in one case). Transition states of the nucleophilic addition of allyltrimethylsilane to selected oxocarbenium ions were calculated using DFT methods. These computational models reproduced the correlation between additional conformational rigidity and selectivity.

Serial five-membered lactone ring ions in the treatment of Alzheimer's diseases-comprehensive profiling of arctigenin metabolites and network analysis.

Project description:Arctigenin is a phenylpropanoid dibenzylbutyro lactone lignan compound with multiple biological functions. Previous studies have shown that arctigenin have neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models both in vivo and in vitro; however, its metabolism in vivo has not been studied. Most traditional analytical methods only partially characterize drug metabolite prototypes, so there is an urgent need for a research strategy that can fully characterize drug metabolites. In the present study, ions fishing with a serial five-membered lactone ring as a fishhook strategy based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) was utilised to characterise the metabolism of arctigenin, and the establishment of this strategy also solved the challenge of creating a comprehensive metabolic profile of neolignan. Based on the proposed strategy, a total of 105 metabolites were detected and characterised, 76 metabolites of which were found in rats and 49 metabolites in liver microsomes. These metabolites were postulated to be produced through oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and complex reactions. Subsequently, network pharmacology was utilized to elucidate the mechanism of arctigenin and its main metabolites against Alzheimer's disease, screening 381 potential targets and 20 major signaling pathways. The study on the comprehensive metabolism of arctigenin provides a holistic metabolic profile, which will help to better understand the mechanism of arctigenin in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and also provide a basis for the safe administration of arctigenin.

Complexities of Regioselective Ring-Opening vs Transcarbonylation-Driven Structural Metamorphosis during Organocatalytic Polymerizations of Five-Membered Cyclic Carbonate Glucose Monomers.

Project description:Rigorous investigations of the organobase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerizations (ROPs) of a series of five-membered cyclic carbonate monomers derived from glucose revealed that competing transcarbonylation reactions scrambled the regiochemistries of the polycarbonate backbones. Regioirregular poly(2,3-α-d-glucose carbonate) backbone connectivities were afforded by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD)-catalyzed ROPs of three monomers having different cyclic acetal protecting groups through the 4- and 6-positions. Small molecule studies conducted upon isolated unimers and dimers indicated a preference for Cx-O2 vs Cx-O3 bond cleavage from tetrahedral intermediates along the pathways of addition-elimination mechanisms when the reactions were performed at room temperature. Furthermore, treatment of isolated 3-unimer or 2-unimer, having the carbonate linkage in the 3- or 2-position as obtained from either Cx-O2 or Cx-O3 bond cleavage, respectively, gave the same 74:26 (3-unimer:2-unimer) ratio, confirming the occurrence of transcarbonylation reactions with a preference for 3-unimer vs. 2-unimer formation in the presence of organobase catalyst at room temperature. In contrast, unimer preparation at -78 °C favored Cx-O3 bond cleavage to afford a majority of 2-unimer, presumably due to a lack of transcarbonylation side reactions. Computational studies supported the experimental findings, enhancing fundamental understanding of the regiochemistry resulting from the ring-opening and subsequent transcarbonylation reactions during ROP of glucose carbonates. These findings are expected to guide the development of advanced carbohydrate-derived polymer materials by an initial monomer design via side chain acetal protecting groups, with the ability to evolve the properties further through later-stage structural metamorphosis.
