Synthesis of Perfluoro-tert-butyl Tyrosine, for Application in 19F NMR, via a Diazonium-Coupling Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A practical synthesis of the novel highly fluorinated amino acid Fmoc-perfluoro-tert-butyl tyrosine was developed. The sequence proceeds in two steps from commercially available Fmoc-4-NH2-phenylalanine via diazotization followed by diazonium coupling reaction with perfluoro-tert-butanol. In peptides, perfluoro-tert-butyl tyrosine was detected in 30 s by NMR spectroscopy at 500 nM peptide concentration due to nine chemically equivalent fluorines that are a sharp singlet by 19F NMR. Perfluoro-tert-butyl ether has an estimated ?p Hammett substituent constant of +0.30.

(2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-perfluoro-tert-butyl 4-hydroxyproline: two conformationally distinct proline amino acids for sensitive application in 19F NMR.

Project description:(2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-perfluoro-tert-butyl 4-hydroxyproline were synthesized (as Fmoc-, Boc-, and free amino acids) in 2-5 steps. The key step of each synthesis was a Mitsunobu reaction with perfluoro-tert-butanol, which incorporated a perfluoro-tert-butyl group, with nine chemically equivalent fluorines. Both amino acids were incorporated in model ?-helical and polyproline helix peptides. Each amino acid exhibited distinct conformational preferences, with (2S,4R)-perfluoro-tert-butyl 4-hydroxyproline promoting polyproline helix. Peptides containing these amino acids were sensitively detected by (19)F NMR, suggesting their use in probes and medicinal chemistry.

Perfluoro-tert-butyl Homoserine Is a Helix-Promoting, Highly Fluorinated, NMR-Sensitive Aliphatic Amino Acid: Detection of the Estrogen Receptor·Coactivator Protein-Protein Interaction by 19F NMR.

Project description:Highly fluorinated amino acids can stabilize proteins and complexes with proteins, via enhanced hydrophobicity, and provide novel methods for identification of specific molecular events in complex solutions, via selective detection by 19F NMR and the absence of native 19F signals in biological contexts. However, the potential applications of 19F NMR in probing biological processes are limited both by the strong propensities of most highly fluorinated amino acids for the extended conformation and by the relatively modest sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy, which typically constrains measurements to mid-micromolar concentrations. Herein, we demonstrate that perfluoro-tert-butyl homoserine exhibits a propensity for compact conformations, including α-helix and polyproline helix (PPII), that is similar to that of methionine. Perfluoro-tert-butyl homoserine has nine equivalent fluorines that do not couple to any other nuclei, resulting in a sharp singlet that can be sensitively detected rapidly at low micromolar concentrations. Perfluoro-tert-butyl homoserine was incorporated at sites of leucine residues within the α-helical LXXLL short linear motif of estrogen receptor (ER) coactivator peptides. A peptide containing perfluoro-tert-butyl homoserine at position i + 3 of the ER coactivator LXXLL motif exhibited a Kd of 2.2 μM for the estradiol-bound estrogen receptor, similar to that of the native ligand. 19F NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the sensitive detection (5 μM concentration, 128 scans) of binding of the peptide to the ER and of inhibition of protein-protein interaction by the native ligand or by the ER antagonist tamoxifen. These results suggest diverse potential applications of perfluoro-tert-butyl homoserine in probing protein function and protein-protein interfaces in complex solutions.

Synthesis and characterization of perfluoro-tert-butyl semifluorinated amphiphilic polymers and their potential application in hydrophobic drug delivery.

Project description:Semifluorinated polymer surfactants, composed of a monomethyl poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) hydrophilic head group and either 1, 2, or 3 perfluoro-tert-butyl (PFtB) groups as the fluorophilic tail, were synthesized, and their aqueous self-assemblies were investigated as a potential design for theranostic nanoparticles. Polymers with three PFtB groups (PFtBTRI) solely formed stable, spherical micelles, approximately 12 nm in size. These PFtBTRI surfactants demonstrate similar characteristics with those of polymers with linear perfluorocarbon tails, despite large differences in tail structure. For example, PFtB polymer solutions stably emulsified 20 v/v% sevoflurane with perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) as a stabilizer. However, these PFtB polymers have the additional potential to serve as F-MRI contrast agents. PFtBTRI micelles gave one narrow 19F-NMR signal in D2O, with T1 and T2 parameters of approximately 500 and 100 ms, respectively. 19F-MR images of PFtB polymer solutions at 1 mM gave intense signal at 4.7 T without sensitizers or selective excitation sequences. These preliminary data demonstrate the potential of PFtB polymers as a basic design, which can be further modified to serve as dual drug-delivery and imaging vehicles.

Nickel-catalyzed allylic carbonylative coupling of alkyl zinc reagents with tert-butyl isocyanide.

Project description:Transition metal-catalyzed carbonylation with carbon nucleophiles is one of the most prominent methods to construct ketones, which are highly versatile motifs prevalent in a variety of organic compounds. In comparison to the well-established palladium catalytic system, the nickel-catalyzed carbonylative coupling is much underdeveloped due to the strong binding affinity of CO to nickel. By leveraging easily accessible tert-butyl isocyanide as the CO surrogate, we present a nickel-catalyzed allylic carbonylative coupling with alkyl zinc reagent, allowing for the practical and straightforward preparation of synthetically important β,γ-unsaturated ketones in a linear-selective fashion with excellent trans-selectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, the undesired polycarbonylation process which is often encountered in palladium chemistry could be completely suppressed. This nickel-based method features excellent functional group tolerance, even including the active aryl iodide functionality to allow the orthogonal derivatization of β,γ-unsaturated ketones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a π-allylnickel intermediate.

Investigation of Bis(Perfluoro-tert-Butoxy) Halogenates(I/III).

Project description:A systematic study of halogenate(I/III) anions with polyatomic ligands is presented. The bis(perfluoro-tert-butoxy) halogenates(I) [X(OC4 F9 )2 ]- , X=Cl, Br, I, of chlorine, bromine, and iodine are prepared as their tetraethylammonium salts and characterized with IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopic methods, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Spectroscopical data are supported by quantum-chemical calculations. Additionally, the bonding situation of the species in question are analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, the oxidation to the corresponding halogenate(III) derivatives was studied. For [Br(OC4 F9 )2 ]- , oxidation with elemental fluorine gave [BrF2 (OC4 F9 )2 ]- . Iodide was directly oxidized by ClOC4 F9 to the IIII species [I(OC4 F9 )4 ]- , which is a surprisingly inert anion that might be used as a weakly coordinating anion (WCA) in the future. For [Cl(OC4 F9 )2 ]- , the decomposition products of the synthetic approaches towards a chlorine(III) system were analyzed.

Evaluation of the tert-butyl group as a probe for NMR studies of macromolecular complexes.

Project description:The development of methyl transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy has greatly facilitated the study of macromolecular assemblies by solution NMR spectroscopy. However, limited sample solubility and stability has hindered application of this technique to ongoing studies of complexes formed on membranes by the neuronal SNAREs that mediate neurotransmitter release and synaptotagmin-1, the Ca2+ sensor that triggers release. Since the 1H NMR signal of a tBu group attached to a large protein or complex can be observed with high sensitivity if the group retains high mobility, we have explored the use of this strategy to analyze presynaptic complexes involved in neurotransmitter release. For this purpose, we attached tBu groups at single cysteines of fragments of synaptotagmin-1, complexin-1 and the neuronal SNAREs by reaction with 5-(tert-butyldisulfaneyl)-2-nitrobenzoic acid (BDSNB), tBu iodoacetamide or tBu acrylate. The tBu resonances of the tagged proteins were generally sharp and intense, although tBu groups attached with BDSNB had a tendency to exhibit somewhat broader resonances that likely result because of the shorter linkage between the tBu and the tagged cysteine. Incorporation of the tagged proteins into complexes on nanodiscs led to severe broadening of the tBu resonances in some cases. However, sharp tBu resonances could readily be observed for some complexes of more than 200 kDa at low micromolar concentrations. Our results show that tagging of proteins with tBu groups provides a powerful approach to study large biomolecular assemblies of limited stability and/or solubility that may be applicable even at nanomolar concentrations.
