Photocatalytic Synthesis of Polycyclic Indolones.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a photocatalytic strategy for a rapid and modular access to polycyclic indolones starting from readily available indoles is reported. This strategy relies on the use of redox-active esters in combination with an iridium-based photocatalyst under visible-light irradiation. The generation of alkyl radicals through decarboxylative single electron reductions enables intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitutions with a pending indole moiety to afford pyrrolo- and pyridoindolone derivatives under mild conditions. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that these radicals could also be engaged into cascades consisting of an intermolecular Giese-type addition followed by an intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitution to rapidly assemble valuable azepinoindolones.

Facile synthesis of polycyclic metallaarynes.

Project description:Metalla-analogs of polycyclic arynes represent an interesting class of metallaaromatics with a formal M[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bond within the ring. The first examples of a bicyclic ?-metallaaryne and tricyclic metallaarynes, including a metallaanthracyne and a metallaphenanthryne, were obtained in good yields by reactions of OsCl2(PPh3)3 with alkyne-functionalized phosphorus ylides.

Origin and Evolution of Polycyclic Triterpene Synthesis.

Project description:Polycyclic triterpenes are members of the terpene family produced by the cyclization of squalene. The most representative polycyclic triterpenes are hopanoids and sterols, the former are mostly found in bacteria, whereas the latter are largely limited to eukaryotes, albeit with a growing number of bacterial exceptions. Given their important role and omnipresence in most eukaryotes, contrasting with their scant representation in bacteria, sterol biosynthesis was long thought to be a eukaryotic innovation. Thus, their presence in some bacteria was deemed to be the result of lateral gene transfer from eukaryotes. Elucidating the origin and evolution of the polycyclic triterpene synthetic pathways is important to understand the role of these compounds in eukaryogenesis and their geobiological value as biomarkers in fossil records. Here, we have revisited the phylogenies of the main enzymes involved in triterpene synthesis, performing gene neighborhood analysis and phylogenetic profiling. Squalene can be biosynthesized by two different pathways containing the HpnCDE or Sqs proteins. Our results suggest that the HpnCDE enzymes are derived from carotenoid biosynthesis ones and that they assembled in an ancestral squalene pathway in bacteria, while remaining metabolically versatile. Conversely, the Sqs enzyme is prone to be involved in lateral gene transfer, and its emergence is possibly related to the specialization of squalene biosynthesis. The biosynthesis of hopanoids seems to be ancestral in the Bacteria domain. Moreover, no triterpene cyclases are found in Archaea, invoking a potential scenario in which eukaryotic genes for sterol biosynthesis assembled from ancestral bacterial contributions in early eukaryotic lineages.

Quaternary-centre-guided synthesis of complex polycyclic terpenes.

Project description:The presence of a quaternary centre-a carbon with four other carbons bonded to it-in any given molecule can have a substantial chemical and biological impact. In many cases, it can enable otherwise challenging chemistry. For example, quaternary centres induce large rate enhancements in cyclization reactions-known as the Thorpe-Ingold effect-which has application in drug delivery for molecules with modest bioavailability1. Similarly, the addition of quaternary centres to a drug candidate can enhance both its activity and its metabolic stability2. When present in chiral ligands3, catalysts4 and auxiliaries5, quaternary centres can guide reactions toward both improved and unique regio-, stereo- and/or enantioselectivity. However, owing to their distinct steric congestion and conformational restriction, the formation of quaternary centres can be achieved reliably by only a few chemical transformations6,7. For particularly challenging cases-for example, the vicinal all-carbon8, oxa- and aza-quaternary centres9 in molecules such as azadirachtin10,11, scopadulcic acid A12,13 and acutumine14-the development of target-specific approaches as well as multiple functional-group and redox manipulations is often necessary. It is therefore desirable to establish alternative ways in which quaternary centres can positively affect and guide synthetic planning. Here we show that if a synthesis is designed such that each quaternary centre is deliberately leveraged to simplify the construction of the next-either through rate acceleration or blocking effects-then highly efficient, scalable and modular syntheses can result. This approach is illustrated using the conidiogenone family of terpenes as a representative case; however, this framework provides a distinct planning logic that is applicable to other targets of similar synthetic complexity that contain multiple quaternary centres.

Lead halide perovskites for photocatalytic organic synthesis.

Project description:Nature is capable of storing solar energy in chemical bonds via photosynthesis through a series of C-C, C-O and C-N bond-forming reactions starting from CO2 and light. Direct capture of solar energy for organic synthesis is a promising approach. Lead (Pb)-halide perovskite solar cells reach 24.2% power conversion efficiency, rendering perovskite a unique type material for solar energy capture. We argue that photophysical properties of perovskites already proved for photovoltaics, also should be of interest in photoredox organic synthesis. Because the key aspects of these two applications are both relying on charge separation and transfer. Here we demonstrated that perovskites nanocrystals are exceptional candidates as photocatalysts for fundamental organic reactions, for example C-C, C-N and C-O bond-formations. Stability of CsPbBr3 in organic solvents and ease-of-tuning their bandedges garner perovskite a wider scope of organic substrate activations. Our low-cost, easy-to-process, highly-efficient, air-tolerant and bandedge-tunable perovskites may bring new breakthrough in organic chemistry.

Unified Synthesis of Polycyclic Alkaloids by Complementary Carbonyl Activation*.

Project description:A complementary dual carbonyl activation strategy for the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloids has been developed. Successful applications include the synthesis of tetracyclic alkaloids harmalanine and harmalacinine, pentacyclic indoloquinolizidine alkaloid nortetoyobyrine, and octacyclic β-carboline alkaloid peganumine A. The latter synthesis features a protecting-group-free assembly and an asymmetric disulfonimide-catalyzed cyclization. Furthermore, formal syntheses of hirsutine, deplancheine, 10-desbromoarborescidine A, and oxindole alkaloids rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline have been achieved. Finally, a concise synthesis of berberine alkaloid ilicifoline B was completed.

Synthesis and biological screening of new thiadiazolopyrimidine-based polycyclic compounds.

Project description:Novel tri-and tetra-cyclic compounds based on the thiadiazolopyrimidine ring system were synthesized, and their antimicrobial activity was estimated. The obtained results evidenced the substantial efficiencies of pyrano-thiadiazolopyrimidine compounds 8a-b and 9a-b toward the two strains of gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and B. cereus). Besides, tetracyclic pyrazolopyrimido-thiadiazolopyrimidine derivatives 16a-b and 17a-b displayed prominent efficiencies toward the two strains of gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and P. aeruginosa). In addition, compounds 8a-b and 9a-b displayed good efficacy toward C. albicans. The activity of antiquorum sensing (anti-QS) inhibition of the newly synthesized thiadiazolopyrimidine-based compounds toward C. violaceum was tested, suggesting satisfactory activity for derivatives 16a-b, 17a-b, 8b, and 9a. The cytotoxic activity of these derivatives was screened toward various cancer cell lines (MCF-7, PC3, Hep-2, and HepG2) and standard normal fibroblast cells (WI38) by utilizing the MTT assay. The pyrazolopyrimido-thiadiazolopyrimidine derivatives 16a, 16b17a, and 17b showed potent cytotoxic efficacy against the MCF-7 cells with the IC50 values ranging from 5.69 to 9.36 µM. Also, the endorsed structural activity relationship (SAR) of the inspected thiadiazolopyrimidine derivatives provided a correlation between the chemical structure and anticancer efficiency. The in silico docking studies were implemented for silencing the hormonal signaling in the breast (PDB Code-5NQR). The results were found to be consistent with the cytotoxic activity.
