The intramolecular hydrogen bonded-halogen bond: a new strategy for preorganization and enhanced binding.

ABSTRACT: Natural and synthetic molecules use weak noncovalent forces to preorganize structure and enable remarkable function. Herein, we introduce the intramolecular hydrogen bonded-halogen bond (HB-XB) as a novel method to preorganize halogen bonding (XBing) molecules, while generating a polarization-enhanced XB. Positioning a fluoroaniline between two iodopyridinium XB donors engendered intramolecular hydrogen bonding (HBing) to the electron-rich belt of both XB donors. NMR solution studies established the efficacy of the HB-XB. The receptor with HB-XBs (G2XB) displayed a nearly 9-fold increase in halide binding over control receptors. Gas-phase density functional theory conformational analysis indicated that the amine stabilizes the bidentate conformation. Furthermore, gas-phase interaction energies showed that the bidentate HB-XBs of G2XBme2+ are more than 3.2 kcal mol-1 stronger than the XBs in a control without the intramolecular HB. Additionally, crystal structures confirm that HB-XBs form tighter contacts with I- and Br- and produce receptors that are more planar. Collectively the results establish the intramolecular HB-XB as a tractable strategy to preorganize XB molecules and regulate XB strength.

Nature of the Hydrogen Bond Enhanced Halogen Bond.

Project description:The factors responsible for the enhancement of the halogen bond by an adjacent hydrogen bond have been quantitatively explored by means of state-of-the-art computational methods. It is found that the strength of a halogen bond is enhanced by ca. 3 kcal/mol when the halogen donor simultaneously operates as a halogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor. This enhancement is the result of both stronger electrostatic and orbital interactions between the XB donor and the XB acceptor, which indicates a significant degree of covalency in these halogen bonds. In addition, the halogen bond strength can be easily tuned by modifying the electron density of the aryl group of the XB donor as well as the acidity of the hydrogen atoms responsible for the hydrogen bond.

Increasing Enzyme Stability and Activity through Hydrogen Bond-Enhanced Halogen Bonds.

Project description:The construction of more stable proteins is important in biomolecular engineering, particularly in the design of biologics-based therapeutics. We show here that replacing the tyrosine at position 18 (Y18) of T4 lysozyme with the unnatural amino acid m-chlorotyrosine ( mClY) increases both the thermal stability (increasing the melting temperature by ?1 °C and the melting enthalpy by 3 kcal/mol) and the enzymatic activity at elevated temperatures (15% higher than that of the parent enzyme at 40 °C) of this classic enzyme. The chlorine of mClY forms a halogen bond (XB) to the carbonyl oxygen of the peptide bond at glycine 28 (G28) in a tight loop near the active site. In this case, the XB potential of the typically weak XB donor Cl is shown from quantum chemical calculations to be significantly enhanced by polarization via an intramolecular hydrogen bond (HB) from the adjacent hydroxyl substituent of the tyrosyl side chain, resulting in a distinctive synergistic HB-enhanced XB (or HeX-B for short) interaction. The larger halogens (bromine and iodine) are not well accommodated within this same loop and, consequently, do not exhibit the effects on protein stability or function associated with the HeX-B interaction. Thus, we have for the first time demonstrated that an XB can be engineered to stabilize and increase the activity of an enzyme, with the increased stabilizing potential of the HeX-B further extending the application of halogenated amino acids in the design of more stable protein therapeutics.

Enantioselective Michael addition to vinyl phosphonates <i>via</i> hydrogen bond-enhanced halogen bond catalysis.

Project description:An asymmetric Michael addition of malononitrile to vinyl phosphonates was accomplished by hydrogen bond-enhanced bifunctional halogen bond (XB) catalysis. NMR titration experiments were used to demonstrate that halogen bonding, with the support of hydrogen-bonding, played a key role in the activation of the Michael acceptors through the phosphonate group. This is the first example of the use of XBs for the activation of organophosphorus compounds in synthesis. In addition, the iodo-perfluorophenyl group proved to be a better directing unit than different iodo- and nitro-substituted phenyl groups. The developed approach afforded products with up to excellent yields and diastereoselectivities and up to good enantioselectivities.

Hydrogen-Bonded and Halogen-Bonded: Orthogonal Interactions for the Chloride Anion of a Pyrazolium Salt.

Project description:In the hydrochloride of a pyrazolyl-substituted acetylacetone, the chloride anion is hydrogen-bonded to the protonated pyrazolyl moiety. Equimolar co-crystallization with tetrafluorodiiodobenzene (TFDIB) leads to a supramolecular aggregate in which TFDIB is situated on a crystallographic center of inversion. The iodine atom in the asymmetric unit acts as halogen bond donor, and the chloride acceptor approaches the σ-hole of this TFDIB iodine subtending an almost linear halogen bond, with Cl···I = 3.1653(11) Å and Cl···I-C = 179.32(6)°. This contact is roughly orthogonal to the N-H···Cl hydrogen bond. An analysis of the electron density according to Bader's Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules confirms bond critical points (bcps) for both short contacts, with ρbcp = 0.129 for the halogen and 0.321eÅ-3 for the hydrogen bond. Our halogen-bonded adduct represents the prototype for a future class of co-crystals with tunable electron density distribution about the σ-hole contact.

Mechanical Bond Enhanced Lithium Halide Ion-Pair Binding by Halogen Bonding Heteroditopic Rotaxanes.

Project description:A family of novel halogen bonding (XB) and hydrogen bonding (HB) heteroditopic [2]rotaxane host systems constructed by active metal template (AMT) methodology, were studied for their ability to cooperatively recognise lithium halide (LiX) ion-pairs. 1 H NMR ion-pair titration experiments in CD3 CN:CDCl3 solvent mixtures revealed a notable "switch-on" of halide anion binding in the presence of a co-bound lithium cation, with rotaxane hosts demonstrating selectivity for LiBr over LiI. The strength of halide binding was shown to greatly increase with increasing number of halogen bond donors integrated into the interlocked cavity, where an all-XB rotaxane was found to be the most potent host for LiBr. DFT calculations corroborated these findings, determining the mode of LiX ion-pair binding. Notably, ion-pair binding was not observed with the corresponding XB/HB macrocycles alone, highlighting the cooperative, heteroditopic, rotaxane axle-macrocycle component mechanical bond effect as an efficient strategy for ion-pair recognition in general.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Expectations in Medicinal Chemistry.

Project description:Design strategies centered on intramolecular hydrogen bonds are sometime used in drug discovery, but their general applicability has not been addressed beyond scattered examples or circumstantial evidence. A total of 1053 matched molecular pairs where only one of the two molecules is able to form an intramolecular hydrogen bond via monatomic transformations have been identified across the ChEMBL database. These pairs were used to investigate the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonds on biological activity. While cases of extreme, conflicting variation of effect emerge, the mean biological activity difference for a pair is close to zero and does not exceed ±0.5 log biological activity for over 50% of the analyzed sample.

On-Surface Assembly of Hydrogen- and Halogen-Bonded Supramolecular Graphyne-Like Networks.

Project description:Demonstrated here is a supramolecular approach to fabricate highly ordered monolayered hydrogen- and halogen-bonded graphyne-like two-dimensional (2D) materials from triethynyltriazine derivatives on Au(111) and Ag(111). The 2D networks are stabilized by N⋅⋅⋅H-C(sp) bonds and N⋅⋅⋅Br-C(sp) bonds to the triazine core. The structural properties and the binding energies of the supramolecular graphynes have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy in combination with density-functional theory calculations. It is revealed that the N⋅⋅⋅Br-C(sp) bonds lead to significantly stronger bonded networks compared to the hydrogen-bonded networks. A systematic analysis of the binding energies of triethynyltriazine and triethynylbenzene derivatives further demonstrates that the X3 -synthon, which is commonly observed for bromobenzene derivatives, is weaker than the X6 -synthon for our bromotriethynyl derivatives.

Do Halogen-Hydrogen Bond Donor Interactions Dominate the Favorable Contribution of Halogens to Ligand-Protein Binding?

Project description:Halogens are present in a significant number of drugs, contributing favorably to ligand-protein binding. Currently, the contribution of halogens, most notably chlorine and bromine, is largely attributed to halogen bonds involving favorable interactions with hydrogen bond acceptors. However, we show that halogens acting as hydrogen bond acceptors potentially make a more favorable contribution to ligand binding than halogen bonds based on quantum mechanical calculations. In addition, bioinformatics analysis of ligand-protein crystal structures shows the presence of significant numbers of such interactions. It is shown that interactions between halogens and hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) are dominated by perpendicular C-X···HBD orientations. Notably, the orientation dependence of the halogen-HBD (X-HBD) interactions is minimal over greater than 100° with favorable interaction energies ranging from -2 to -14 kcal/mol. This contrasts halogen bonds in that X-HBD interactions are substantially more favorable, being comparable to canonical hydrogen bonds, with a smaller orientation dependence, such that they make significant, favorable contributions to ligand-protein binding and, therefore, should be actively considered during rational ligand design.

Intramolecular charge-assisted hydrogen bond strength in pseudochair carboxyphosphate.

Project description:Carboxyphosphate, a suspected intermediate in ATP-dependent carboxylases, has not been isolated nor observed directly by experiment. Consequently, little is known concerning its structure, stability, and ionization state. Recently, carboxyphosphate as either a monoanion or dianion has been shown computationally to adopt a novel pseudochair conformation featuring an intramolecular charge-assisted hydrogen bond (CAHB). In this work, additive and subtractive correction schemes to the commonly employed open-closed method are used to estimate the strength of the CAHB. Truhlar's Minnesota M06-2X functional with Dunning's aug-cc-pVTZ basis set has been used for geometry optimization, energy evaluation, and frequency analysis. The CHARMM force field has been used to approximate the Pauli repulsive terms in the closed and open forms of carboxyphosphate. From our additive correction scheme, differential Pauli repulsion contributions between the pseudochair (closed) and open conformations of carboxyphosphate are found to be significant in determining the CAHB strength. The additive correction modifies the CAHB prediction (?Eclosed-open) of -14 kcal/mol for the monoanion and -12 kcal/mol for the dianion to -22.9 and -18.4 kcal/mol, respectively. Results from the subtractive technique reinforce those from our additive procedure, where the predicted CAHB strength ranges from -17.8 to -25.4 kcal/mol for the monoanion and from -15.7 to -20.9 kcal/mol for the dianion. Ultimately, we find that the CAHB in carboxyphosphate meets the criteria for short-strong hydrogen bonds. However, carboxyphosphate has a unique energy profile that does not result in the symmetric double-well behavior of low-barrier hydrogen bonds. These findings provide deeper insight into the pseudochair conformation of carboxyphosphate, and lead to an improved mechanistic understanding of this intermediate in ATP-dependent carboxylases.
