Chiral Phase Transfer Catalysis in the Asymmetric Synthesis of a 3,3-Disubstituted Isoindolinone and Determination of Its Absolute Configuration by VCD Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: In this work we report our endeavors toward the development of an asymmetric synthesis of a 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinone, dimethyl 2-(1-methyl-3-oxoisoindolin-1-yl)malonate, via asymmetric cascade reaction of 2-acetylbenzonitrile with dimethylmalonate and the determination of its absolute configuration (AC) by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Bifunctional ammonium salts, derived from trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine in combination with inorganic bases under phase transfer conditions, were the most effective catalytic systems, leading to the target in high yields and moderate enantioselectivity. An efficient process of heterochiral crystallization allowed the increase of the enantiopurity up to 96% ee and in an acceptable overall yield. An important aim of the present work is the comparison of different VCD methodologies for AC determination of the target compound.

Asymmetric Ugi 3CR on isatin-derived ketimine: synthesis of chiral 3,3-disubstituted 3-aminooxindole derivatives.

Project description:An efficient Ugi three-component reaction of a preformed chiral ketimine derived from isatin with various isonitrile and acid components has been developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly and in a stereocontrolled manner with regard to the new center of the Ugi products due to the stereoinduction of the amine chiral residue. A wide variety of novel chiral 3,3-disubstituted 3-aminooxindoles were obtained, a selection of which were subjected to post-Ugi transformations, paving the way to application as peptidomimetics.

Absolute configuration determination of pharmaceutical crystalline powders by MicroED <i>via</i> chiral salt formation.

Project description:Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has established its complementary role alongside X-ray diffraction in crystal structure elucidation. Unfortunately, kinematical refinement of MicroED data lacks the differentiation power to assign the absolute structure solely based on the measured intensities. Here we report a method for absolute configuration determination via MicroED by employing salt formation with chiral counterions.

Chiral Separation of Stilbene Dimers Generated by Biotransformation for Absolute Configuration Determination and Antibacterial Evaluation.

Project description:A series of complex stilbene dimers have been generated through biotransformation of resveratrol, pterostilbene, and the mixture of both using the enzymatic secretome of Botrytis cinerea Pers. The process starts with achiral molecules and results in the generation of complex molecules with multiple chiral carbons. So far, we have been studying these compounds in the form of enantiomeric mixtures. In the present study, we isolated the enantiomers to determine their absolute configuration and assess if the stereochemistry could impact their biological properties. Eight compounds were selected for this study, corresponding to the main scaffolds generated (pallidol, leachianol, restrytisol and acyclic dimers) and the most active compounds (trans-δ-viniferin derivatives) against a methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). To isolate these enantiomers and determine their absolute configuration, a chiral HPLC-PDA analysis was performed. The analysis was achieved on a high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with a chiral column. For each compound, the corresponding enantiomeric pair was obtained with high purity. The absolute configuration of each enantiomer was determined by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The antibacterial activities of the four trans-δ-viniferin derivatives against two S. aureus strains were evaluated.

Determination of the Absolute Configuration of β-Chiral Primary Alcohols Using the Competing Enantioselective Conversion Method.

Project description:A method for determining the absolute configuration of β-chiral primary alcohols has been developed. Enantioenriched alcohols were acylated in the presence of either enantiomer of the enantioselective acylation catalyst HBTM, and the faster reaction was determined by measuring product conversion using 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis. An empirical mnemonic was developed that correlates the absolute configuration of the alcohol to the faster reacting catalyst. Successful substrates for this method include primary alcohols that bear a "directing group" on the stereogenic center; directing groups include arenes, heteroarenes, enones, and halides.

Absolute configuration of 2,2',3,3',6-pentachlorinatedbiphenyl (PCB 84) atropisomers.

Project description:Nineteen polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, such as 2,2',3,3',6-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 84), display axial chirality because they form stable rotational isomers, or atropisomers, that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Although chiral PCBs undergo atropselective biotransformation and atropselectively alter biological processes, the absolute structure of only a few PCB atropisomers has been determined experimentally. To help close this knowledge gap, pure PCB 84 atropisomers were obtained by semi-preparative liquid chromatography with two serially connected Nucleodex β-PM columns. The absolute configuration of both atropisomers was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The PCB 84 atropisomer eluting first and second on the Nucleodex β-PM column correspond to (aR)-(-)-PCB 84 and (aS)-(+)-PCB 84, respectively. Enantioselective gas chromatographic analysis with the β-cyclodextrin-based CP-Chirasil-Dex CB gas chromatography column showed the same elution order as the Nucleodex β-PM column. Based on earlier reports, the atropisomers eluting first and second on the BGB-172 gas chromatography column are (aR)-(-)-PCB 84 and (aS)-(+)-PCB 84, respectively. An inversion of the elution order is observed on the Cyclosil-B gas chromatography and Cellulose-3 liquid chromatography columns. These results advance the interpretation of environmental and human biomonitoring as well as toxicological studies.

Determination of the absolute configuration of compounds bearing chiral quaternary carbon centers using the crystalline sponge method.

Project description:Determination of the absolute configuration of chiral tetra-substituted carbon centers is one of the most taxing steps in the enantioselective construction of this structural motif in asymmetric synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that the crystalline sponge method provides an effective way to crystallographically determine the absolute configuration of organic compounds bearing chiral quaternary carbons (including tetra-substituted ones) that are synthesized by recently developed enantioselective catalytic reactions.

Determination of absolute configuration using kinetic resolution catalysts.

Project description:A new method was developed to assign the absolute configuration of molecules using kinetic resolution catalysts. Secondary alcohols were acylated in the presence of Birman's S-HBTM and R-HBTM catalysts, and the fast-reacting catalyst was identified by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. A mnemonic was developed to assign configuration based on the identity of the fast-reacting catalyst. The method uses only 1-3 mg of alcohol, and it is more convenient than the Mosher method. The kinetic resolution strategy may be extended to other classes of molecules.

3-Nitroatenolol: First Synthesis, Chiral Resolution and Enantiomers' Absolute Configuration.

Project description:4-Nitro and 7-nitro propranolol have been recently synthesized and characterized by us. (±)-4-NO2-propranolol has been shown to act as a selective antagonist of 6-nitrodopamine (6-ND) receptors in the right atrium of rats. As part of our follow-up to this study, herein, we describe the first synthesis of (±)-3-nitroatenolol as a probe to evaluate the potential nitration of atenolol by endothelium. Chiral chromatography was used to produce pure enantiomers. By using Riguera's method, which is based on the sign distribution of ΔδH, the absolute configuration of the secondary alcohol was determined.

Chiral allene-containing phosphines in asymmetric catalysis.

Project description:We demonstrate that allenes, chiral 1,2-dienes, appended with basic functionality can serve as ligands for transition metals. We describe an allene-containing bisphosphine that, when coordinated to Rh(I), promotes the asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to α-keto esters with high enantioselectivity. Solution and solid-state structural analysis reveals that one olefin of the allene can coordinate to transition metals, generating bi- and tridentate ligands.

Absolute Configuration Determination of Chiral API Molecules by MicroED Analysis of Cocrystal Powders Formed Based on Cocrystal Propensity Prediction Calculations.

Project description:Establishing the absolute configuration of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is of great importance. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (scXRD) has traditionally been the method of choice for such analysis, but scXRD requires the growth of large crystals, which can be challenging. Here, we present a method for determining absolute configuration that does not rely on the growth of large crystals. By examining microcrystals formed with chiral probes (small chiral compounds such as amino acids), absolute configuration can be unambiguously determined by microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED). Our streamlined method employs three steps: (1) virtual screening to identify promising chiral probes, (2) experimental cocrystal screening and (3) structure determination by MicroED and absolute configuration assignment. We successfully applied this method to analyze two chiral API molecules currently on the market for which scXRD was not used to determine absolute configuration.
