Lipophilicity trends upon fluorination of isopropyl, cyclopropyl and 3-oxetanyl groups.

ABSTRACT: A systematic comparison of lipophilicity modulations upon fluorination of isopropyl, cyclopropyl and 3-oxetanyl substituents, at a single carbon atom, is provided using directly comparable, and easily accessible model compounds. In addition, comparison with relevant linear chain derivatives is provided, as well as lipophilicity changes occurring upon chain extension of acyclic precursors to give cyclopropyl containing compounds. For the compounds investigated, fluorination of the isopropyl substituent led to larger lipophilicity modulation compared to fluorination of the cyclopropyl substituent.

Synthesis of isopropyl-substituted anthraquinones via Friedel-Crafts acylations: migration of isopropyl groups.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts reactions of isopropyl-substituted benzenes with phthalic anhydride in the presence of aluminium trichloride, followed by cyclization of the products with strong sulfuric acid give, as expected, anthraquinones. The syntheses, however, often afford more than one anthraquinone. In some cases the isopropyl groups migrate cleanly to other ring positions; in other cases they are lost.

Origin of the stability conferred upon collagen by fluorination.

Project description:According to a prevailing theory, (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) residues stabilize the collagen triple helix via a stereoelectronic effect that preorganizes appropriate backbone torsion angles for triple-helix formation. This theory is consistent with the marked stability that results from replacing the hydroxyl group with the more electron-withdrawing fluoro group, as in (2S,4R)-4-fluoroproline (Flp). Nonetheless, the hyperstability of triple helices containing Flp has been attributed by others to the hydrophobic effect rather than a stereoelectronic effect. We tested this hypothesis by replacing Hyp with 4,4-difluoroproline (Dfp) in collagen-related peptides. Dfp retains the hydrophobicity of Flp, but lacks the ability of Flp to preorganize backbone torsion angles. Unlike Flp, Dfp does not endow triple helices with elevated stability, indicating that the hyperstability conferred by Flp is not due to the hydrophobic effect.

Nucleophile assisting leaving groups: a strategy for aliphatic 18F-fluorination.

Project description:A series of arylsulfonate nucleophile assisting leaving groups (NALGs) were prepared in which the metal chelating unit is attached to the aryl ring via an ether linker. These NALGs exhibited significant rate enhancements in halogenation reactions using metal halides. Studies with a NALG containing a macrocyclic ether unit suggest that rate enhancements of these nucleophilic halogenation reactions are facilitated by stabilization of charge in the transition state rather than through strong precomplexation with metal cation. In several cases, a primary substrate containing one of the new leaving groups rivaled or surpassed the reactivity of triflates when exposed to nucleophile but was otherwise highly stable and isolable. These and previously disclosed chelating leaving groups were used in (18)F-fluorination reactions using no-carrier-added [18F]fluoride ion (t(1/2) = 109.7 min, beta+ = 97%) in CH3CN. Under microwave irradiation and without the assistance of a cryptand, such as K2.2.2, primary substrates with select NALGs led to a substantial improvement (2-3-fold) in radiofluorination yields over traditional leaving groups.

Ketones as directing groups in photocatalytic sp3 C-H fluorination.

Project description:The ubiquitous ketone carbonyl group generally deactivates substrates toward radical-based fluorinations, especially sites closest to it. Herein, ketones are used instead to direct aliphatic fluorination using Selectfluor, catalytic benzil, and visible light. Selective ?- and ?-fluorination are demonstrated on rigid mono-, di-, tri-, and tetracyclic (steroidal) substrates employing both cyclic and exocyclic aliphatic ketones as directing groups.

Enhanced Nucleophilic Fluorination and Radiofluorination of Organosilanes Appended with Potassium-Chelating Leaving Groups.

Project description:Here we aimed to explore the feasibility of enhancing the fluorination of organosilanes by appending potassium-chelating groups to the substrates. For this purpose, eight organosilanes were prepared in which a linear or cyclic leaving group, with putative potassium-chelating ability, was attached covalently to a congested silicon atom via an ether linkage to serve as a potential nucleophilic assisting leaving group (NALG). Organosilicon-NALGs with expected strong potassium-chelating capability enhanced reactions with potassium fluoride in acetonitrile to produce organofluorosilanes without any need to separately add phase transfer reagent. Similar rate enhancements were also observed with cyclotron-produced [18F]fluoride ion (t1/2 = 109.7 min, ?+ = 97%) in the presence of potassium carbonate in MeCN-0.5% H2O. This study found that metal-chelating NALG units can accelerate fluorination and radiofluorination reactions at sterically crowded silicon atoms.

Investigating the Influence of (Deoxy)fluorination on the Lipophilicity of Non-UV-Active Fluorinated Alkanols and Carbohydrates by a New log?P Determination Method.

Project description:Property tuning by fluorination is very effective for a number of purposes, and currently increasingly investigated for aliphatic compounds. An important application is lipophilicity (log?P) modulation. However, the determination of log?P is cumbersome for non-UV-active compounds. A new variation of the shake-flask log?P determination method is presented, enabling the measurement of log?P for fluorinated compounds with or without UV activity regardless of whether they are hydrophilic or lipophilic. No calibration curves or measurements of compound masses/aliquot volumes are required. With this method, the influence of fluorination on the lipophilicity of fluorinated aliphatic alcohols was determined, and the log?P values of fluorinated carbohydrates were measured. Interesting trends and changes, for example, for the dependence on relative stereochemistry, are reported.

Lysosomal sulphate transport is dependent upon sulphydryl groups.

Project description:Using thiol blocking agents, we examined the role of sulphydryl groups for function of the lysosomal sulphate transport system. Monothiol binding reagents, p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid (p-HMB) and p-chloromercuribenzene sulphonic acid (p-CMBS), dithiol binding reagents such as CuCl2, the alkylating agent, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and NADH all inhibited lysosomal sulphate transport. The inhibitory effects of NEM and Cu2+ were not additive, suggesting that they both act upon the same critical sulphydryl group(s). Unlike the case for NEM, the inhibitory effects of Cu2+ were reversed by the reducing agent, dithiothreitol. Exposure to NEM resulted in a seven-fold increase in Km to 867 microM versus a control value of 126 microM and a modest decrease in Vmax to 99 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s versus a control value of 129 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s. Similar although somewhat less dramatic results were obtained using Cu2+ with an increase of Km to 448 microM and a Vmax of 77 pmolperunit beta-hexosaminidase per 30 s. The sulphate transport activity of detergent solubilized lysosomal membranes could be bound to a p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (p-CMB)-Sepharose sulphydryl affinity resin and eluted with mercaptoethanol. Sulphydryl groups thus appear to play a role in sulphate transport through effects on substrate affinity. Sulphydryl-binding appears to be a strategy that may be useful for purification of the transporter.

Do Docking Sites Persist Upon Fluorination? The Diadamantyl Ether-Aromatics Challenge for Rotational Spectroscopy and Theory.

Project description:Fluorinated derivatives of biological molecules have proven to be highly efficient at modifying the biological activity of a given protein through changes in the stability and the kind of docking interactions. These interactions can be hindered or facilitated based on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of a particular protein region. Diadamantyl ether (C20 H30 O) possesses both kinds of docking sites, serving as a good template to model these important contacts with aromatic fluorinated counterparts. In this work, an experimental study on the structures of several complexes between diadamantyl ether and benzene as well as a series of fluorinated benzenes is reported to analyze the effect of H→F substitution on the interaction and structure of the resulting molecular clusters using rotational spectroscopy. All experimentally observed complexes are largely dominated by London dispersion interactions with the hydrogen-terminated surface areas of diadamantyl ether. Already single substitution of one hydrogen atom with fluorine changes the preferred docking site of the complexes. However, the overall contributions of the different intermolecular interactions are similar for the different complexes, contrary to previous studies focusing on the difference in interactions using fluorinated and non-fluorinated molecules.

A combination of directing groups and chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis for enantioselective fluorination of alkenes.

Project description:We report a catalytic enantioselective electrophilic fluorination of alkenes to form tertiary and quaternary C(sp3)-F bonds and generate ?-amino- and ?-aryl-allylic fluorides. The reaction takes advantage of the ability of chiral phosphate anions to serve as solid-liquid phase transfer catalysts and hydrogen bond with directing groups on the substrate. A variety of heterocyclic, carbocyclic, and acyclic alkenes react with good to excellent yields and high enantioselectivities. Further, we demonstrate a one-pot, tandem dihalogenation-cyclization reaction, using the same catalytic system twice in series, with an analogous electrophilic brominating reagent in the second step.
