Anomeric Effects in Sulfamides.

ABSTRACT: Sulfamides, together with their simpler sulfonamide analogs, are common functional groups in a significant number of biologically active compounds. This is partly due to their unique electronic structure and conformational behavior, which mimics the tetrahedral intermediate involved in many proteases, esterases, and related enzymes. Here, the origin of these unique structural elements are analyzed in the context of a coupled, double anomeric effect using DFT calculations, including conformational scans, and NBO analysis. It is shown that these coupled interactions can be implicitly parametrized in MM3* type force fields using the quantum-guided molecular mechanics (Q2MM) method, yielding accurate force field parameters for molecular mechanics studies of sulfamides and sulfonamides.

Anomeric DNA quadruplexes.

Project description:Thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) is a 15-nt DNA oligomer that efficiently inhibits thrombin. It has been shown that TBA folds into an anti-parallel unimolecular G-quadruplex. Its three-dimensional chair-like structure consists of two G-tetrads connected by TT and TGT loops. TBA undergoes fast degradation by nucleases in vivo. To improve the nuclease resistance of TBA, a number of modified analogs have been proposed. Here, we describe anomeric modifications of TBA. Non-natural ? anomers were used to replace selected nucleotides in the loops and core. Significant stabilization of the quadruplex was observed for the anomeric modification of TT loops at T4 and T13. Replacement of the core guanines either prevents quadruplex assembly or induces rearrangement in G-tetrads. It was found that the anticoagulant properties of chimeric aptamers could be retained only with intact TT loops. On the contrary, modification of the TGT loop was shown to substantially increase nuclease resistance of the chimeric aptamer without a notable disturbance of its anticoagulant activity.

Fluorine-Induced Pseudo-Anomeric Effects in Methoxycyclohexanes through Electrostatic 1,3-Diaxial Interactions.

Project description:We report counter-intuitive axial preferences in non-stereochemically biased, selectively fluorinated methoxycyclohexanes. These pseudo-anomeric effects are apparent when electronegative CF2 groups are placed at the C-2, C-4 and C-6 positions of the cyclohexane ring to render the C-3/5 axial hydrogen atoms electropositive. The electrostatic interaction between these axial hydrogen atoms and the -OMe oxygen is stabilising. The effect is explored using high-level ab initio and DFT calculations in the framework of NBO, QTAIM and NCI analysis across a range of derivatives, and experimentally (19 F{1 H}-NMR at -80?°C) for some illustrative examples. The effect is significant in energy terms for a weak interaction, and illustrates a new stereoelectronic aspect attributed to selective fluorine substitution in organic chemistry.

Regio- and stereochemical stability induced by anomeric and <i>gauche</i> effects in difluorinated pyrrolidines.

Project description:Selective fluorination of the pyrrolidine ring in proline motifs has been found to induce significant conformational changes that impact the structure and biological roles of modified peptides and proteins. Vicinal difluorination of fluoroproline, for example, in (3S,4R)-3,4-difluoroproline, serves to mitigate the inherent conformational bias of the pyrrolidine ring by inducing stereoelectronic effects that attenuate this conformational bias. In this investigation, we present a quantumchemical analysis of the conformational equilibrium and effects that are induced in difluorinated pyrrolidines, with a particular focus on exploring the impact of gauche and anomeric effects on the conformer stabilities of different stereo- and regioisomers. Initially, we conducted a benchmark assessment comparing the optimal density functional theory method with coupled cluster with single and double excitations (CCSD) calculations and crystallographic data using the 3-fluoropyrrolidinium cation and 3-fluoropyrrolidine. Subsequently, we explored the relative energy of all favored conformations of all different stereoisomers of 2,3-, 2,4-, and 3,4-difluoropyrrolidines at the B3LYP-D3BJ/6-311++G** level. A generalized anomeric effect, arising from nN→σ*CF electron delocalization, is particularly important in modulating the energetics of the α-fluoro isomers and imparts a strong conformational bias. In contrast, the fluorine gauche effect assumes a secondary role, as it is overshadowed by steric and electrostatic interactions, referred to as Lewis interactions from a natural bond orbital perspective.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of cyclic sulfamides from conjugated dienes.

Project description:This paper describes the catalytic asymmetric diamination of alkyl dienes using N,N'-di-tert-butylthiadiaziridine 1,1-dioxide in the presence of Pd(0) and a chiral phosphoramidite ligand to give cyclic sulfamides in high yield and high ee. The diamination is also amenable to gram scale.

DNA sequence context conceals ?-anomeric lesions.

Project description:DNA sequence context has long been known to modulate detection and repair of DNA damage. Recent studies using experimental and computational approaches have sought to provide a basis for this observation. We have previously shown that an ?-anomeric adenosine (?A) flanked by cytosines (5'C?AC-3') resulted in a kinked DNA duplex with an enlarged minor groove. Comparison of different flanking sequences revealed that a DNA duplex containing a 5'C?AG-3' motif exhibits unique substrate properties. However, this substrate was not distinguished by unusual thermodynamic properties. To understand the structural basis of the altered recognition, we have determined the solution structure of a DNA duplex with a 5'C?AG-3' core, using an extensive set of restraints including dipolar couplings and backbone torsion angles. The NMR structure exhibits an excellent agreement with the data (total R(X) <5.3%). The ?A base is intrahelical, in a reverse Watson-Crick orientation, and forms a weak base pair with a thymine of the opposite strand. In comparison to the DNA duplex with a 5'C?AC-3' core, we observe a significant reduction of the local perturbation (backbone, stacking, tilt, roll, and twist), resulting in a straighter DNA with narrower minor groove. Overall, these features result in a less perturbed DNA helix and obscure the presence of the lesion compared to the 5'C?AC-3' sequence. The improved stacking of the 5'C?AG-3' core also affects the energetics of the DNA deformation that is required to form a catalytically competent complex. These traits provide a rationale for the modulation of the recognition by endonuclease IV.

Sulfamides direct radical-mediated chlorination of aliphatic C-H bonds.

Project description:Given the prevalence of aliphatic amines in bioactive small molecules, amine derivatives are opportune as directing groups. Herein, sulfamides serve as amine surrogates to guide intermolecular chlorine-transfer at γ-C(sp3) centers. This unusual position-selectivity arises because accessed sulfamidyl radical intermediates engage preferentially in otherwise rare 1,6-hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) processes through seven-membered transition states. The site-selectivity of C-H abstraction can be modulated by adjusting the steric and electronic properties of the sulfamide nitrogen substituents, an ability that has not been demonstrated with other substrate classes. The disclosed reaction relies on a light-initiated radical chain-propagation mechanism to oxidize C(sp3)-H bonds efficiently.

Light-Mediated Cross-Coupling of Anomeric Trifluoroborates.

Project description:Stereoselective reactions at the anomeric carbon constitute the cornerstone of preparative carbohydrate chemistry. Here, we report stereoselective C-arylation and etherification reactions of anomeric trifluoroborates derived from BMIDA esters. These reactions are characterized by high anomeric selectivities for 2-deoxysugars and broad substrate scope (24 examples), including disaccharides and trifluoroborates with free hydroxyl groups. Taken together, this new class of carbohydrate reagents adds the palette of anomeric nucleophile reagents suitable for efficient installation of C-C bonds.

Mechanism of Glycosylation of Anomeric Sulfonium Ions.

Project description:Anomeric sulfonium ions are attractive glycosyl donors for the stereoselective installation of 1,2-cis glycosides. Although these donors are receiving increasing attention, their mechanism of glycosylation remains controversial. We have investigated the reaction mechanism of glycosylation of a donor modified at C-2 with a (1S)-phenyl-2-(phenylsulfanyl)ethyl chiral auxiliary. Preactivation of this donor results in the formation of a bicyclic β-sulfonium ion that after addition of an alcohol undergoes 1,2-cis-glycosylation. To probe the importance of the thiophenyl moiety, analogs were prepared in which this moiety was replaced by an anisoyl or benzyl moiety. Furthermore, the auxiliaries were installed as S- and R-stereoisomers. It was found that the nature of the heteroatom and chirality of the auxiliary greatly influenced the anomeric outcome and only the one containing a thiophenyl moiety and having S-configuration gave consistently α-anomeric products. The sulfonium ions are sufficiently stable at a temperature at which glycosylations proceed indicating that they are viable glycosylation agents. Time-course NMR experiments with the latter donor showed that the initial rates of glycosylations increase with increases in acceptor concentration and the rate curves could be fitted to a second order rate equation. Collectively, these observations support a mechanism by which a sulfonium ion intermediate is formed as a trans-decalin ring system that can undergo glycosylation through a bimolecular mechanism. DFT calculations have provided further insight into the reaction path of glycosylation and indicate that initially a hydrogen-bonded complex is formed between sulfonium ion and acceptor that undergoes SN2-like glycosylation to give an α-anomeric product.

Structural, Biochemical, and Computational Characterization of Sulfamides as Bimetallic Peptidase Inhibitors.

Project description:The sulfonamide function is used extensively as a general building block in various inhibitory scaffolds and, more specifically, as a zinc-binding group (ZBG) of metalloenzyme inhibitors. Here, we provide biochemical, structural, and computational characterization of a metallopeptidase in complex with inhibitors, where the mono- and bisubstituted sulfamide functions are designed to directly engage zinc ions of a bimetallic enzyme site. Structural data showed that while monosubstituted sulfamides coordinate active-site zinc ions via the free negatively charged amino group in a canonical manner, their bisubstituted counterparts adopt an atypical binding pattern divergent from expected positioning of corresponding tetrahedral reaction intermediates. Accompanying quantum mechanics calculations revealed that electroneutrality of the sulfamide function is a major factor contributing to the markedly lower potency of bisubstituted compounds by considerably lowering their interaction energy with the enzyme. Overall, while bisubstituted uncharged sulfamide functions can bolster favorable pharmacological properties of a given inhibitor, their use as ZBGs in metalloenzyme inhibitors might be less advantageous due to their suboptimal metal-ligand properties.

Selective anomeric acetylation of unprotected sugars in water.

Project description:High yielding selective acetylation of only the anomeric hydroxyl of unprotected sugars is possible in aqueous solution using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), thioacetic acid, and a suitable base. The reaction, which may be performed on a multi-gram scale, is stereoselective for sugars that possess a hydroxyl group at position-2, exclusively yielding the 1,2-trans products. The use of an iterative reagent addition procedure allows the use of sodium carbonate as the base, avoiding the formation of triethylammonium salts, which may hamper product purification. The glycosyl acetate products may be used as donor substrates for glycosidase-catalysed synthesis. The crude aqueous acetylation reaction mixture may also be used for this purpose.
