Cu-Catalyzed Oxidation of C2 and C3 Alkyl-Substituted Indole via Acyl Nitroso Reagents.

ABSTRACT: The selective oxidation of C2-alkyl-substituted indoles to 3-oxindole and the selective C-H oxygenation or amination of C2,C3-dialkyl-substituted indoles at C2 are reported under mild conditions. The position of the alkyl substitution on the indole directs the reaction to different pathways under similar conditions.

Synthesis of 2-substituted tryptophans via a C3- to C2-alkyl migration.

Project description:The reaction of 3-substituted indoles with dehydroalanine (Dha) derivatives under Lewis acid-mediated conditions has been investigated. The formation of 2-substituted tryptophans is proposed to occur through a selective alkylative dearomatization-cyclization followed by C3- to C2-alkyl migration and rearomatization.

One-electron oxidation of gemcitabine and analogs: mechanism of formation of C3' and C2' sugar radicals.

Project description:Gemcitabine is a modified cytidine analog having two fluorine atoms at the 2'-position of the ribose ring. It has been proposed that gemcitabine inhibits RNR activity by producing a C3'• intermediate via direct H3'-atom abstraction followed by loss of HF to yield a C2'• with 3'-keto moiety. Direct detection of C3'• and C2'• during RNR inactivation by gemcitabine still remains elusive. To test the influence of 2'- substitution on radical site formation, electron spin resonance (ESR) studies are carried out on one-electron oxidized gemcitabine and other 2'-modified analogs, i.e., 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-2'-C-methylcytidine (MeFdC) and 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (2'-FdC). ESR line components from two anisotropic ?-2'-F-atom hyperfine couplings identify the C3'• formation in one-electron oxidized gemcitabine, but no further reaction to C2'• is found. One-electron oxidized 2'-FdC is unreactive toward C3'• or C2'• formation. In one-electron oxidized MeFdC, ESR studies show C2'• production presumably from a very unstable C3'• precursor. The experimentally observed hyperfine couplings for C2'• and C3'• match well with the theoretically predicted ones. C3'• to C2'• conversion in one-electron oxidized gemcitabine and MeFdC has theoretically been modeled by first considering the C3'• and H3O(+) formation via H3'-proton deprotonation and the subsequent C2'• formation via HF loss induced by this proximate H3O(+). Theoretical calculations show that in gemcitabine, C3'• to C2'• conversion in the presence of a proximate H3O(+) has a barrier in agreement with the experimentally observed lack of C3'• to C2'• conversion. In contrast, in MeFdC, the loss of HF from C3'• in the presence of a proximate H3O(+) is barrierless resulting in C2'• formation which agrees with the experimentally observed rapid C2'• formation.

Synthesis, characterization, and in vitro SAR evaluation of N,N'-bis(arylmethyl)-C2-alkyl substituted imidazolium salts.

Project description:A series of C2-alkyl substituted N,N'-bis(arylmethyl)imidazolium salts were synthesized, characterized, and tested for their in vitro anti-cancer activity against multiple non-small cell lung cancer cell lines by our group and the National Cancer Institute's-60 human tumor cell line screen to establish a structure-activity relationship. Compounds are related to previously published N,N'-bis(arylmethyl)imidazolium salts but utilize the historical quinoline motif and anion effects to increase the aqueous solubility. Multiple derivatives displayed high anti-cancer activity with IC50 values in the nanomolar to low micromolar range against a panel of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Several of these derivatives have high aqueous solubilities with potent anti-proliferative properties and are ideal candidates for future in vivo xenograft studies and have high potential to progress into clinic use.

Control of protein oligomerization symmetry by metal coordination: C2 and C3 symmetrical assemblies through Cu(II) and Ni(II) coordination.

Project description:We describe the metal-dependent self-assembly of symmetrical protein homooligomers from protein building blocks that feature appropriately engineered metal-chelating motifs on their surfaces. Crystallographic studies indicate that the same four-helix-bundle protein construct, MBPC-1, can self-assemble into C(2) and C(3) symmetrical assemblies dictated by Cu(II) and Ni(II) coordination, respectively. The symmetry inherent in metal coordination can thus be directly applied to biological self-assembly.

Alternating Current Electrolysis as Efficient Tool for the Direct Electrochemical Oxidation of Hydroxamic Acids for Acyl Nitroso Diels-Alder Reactions.

Project description:The acyl nitroso Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-dienes with electrochemically oxidised hydroxamic acids is described. By using alternating current electrolysis, their typical electro-induced decomposition could be suppressed in favour of the 1,2-oxazine cycloaddition products. The reaction was optimised using Design of Experiments (DoE) and a sensitivity test was conducted. A mixture of triethylamine/hexafluoroisopropanol served as supporting electrolyte in dichloromethane, thus giving products of high purity after evaporation of the volatiles without further purification. The optimised reaction conditions were applied to various 1,3-dienes and hydroxamic acids, giving up to 96 % isolated yield.

Rapid Syntheses of Heteroaryl-Substituted Imidazo[1,5-a]indole and Pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole via Aerobic C2-H Functionalizations.

Project description:Here we report an aerobic Pd(0) catalyzed C2-H functionalization of indoles and pyrroles with tethered N-methoxylamide as the directing group. A Pd(0)-initiated mechanism overcomes the directing or poisoning effect from a wide range of heterocycles including pyridine, pyrimidine, and thiazole. The imidazo[1,5-a]indole products are transformed to bioactive analogs after one-step manipulations, demonstrating the potential utility of this reaction in drug discovery.

A generalized stoichiometric model of C3, C2, C2+C4, and C4 photosynthetic metabolism.

Project description:The goal of suppressing photorespiration in crops to maximize assimilation and yield is stimulating considerable interest among researchers looking to bioengineer carbon-concentrating mechanisms into C3 plants. However, detailed quantification of the biochemical activities in the bundle sheath is lacking. This work presents a general stoichiometric model for C3, C2, C2+C4, and C4 assimilation (SMA) in which energetics, metabolite traffic, and the different decarboxylating enzymes (NAD-dependent malic enzyme, NADP-dependent malic enzyme, or phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) are explicitly included. The SMA can be used to refine experimental data analysis or formulate hypothetical scenarios, and is coded in a freely available Microsoft Excel workbook. The theoretical underpinnings and general model behaviour are analysed with a range of simulations, including (i) an analysis of C3, C2, C2+C4, and C4 in operational conditions; (ii) manipulating photorespiration in a C3 plant; (iii) progressively upregulating a C2 shuttle in C3 photosynthesis; (iv) progressively upregulating a C4 cycle in C2 photosynthesis; and (v) manipulating processes that are hypothesized to respond to transient environmental inputs. Results quantify the functional trade-offs, such as the electron transport needed to meet ATP/NADPH demand, as well as metabolite traffic, inherent to different subtypes. The SMA refines our understanding of the stoichiometry of photosynthesis, which is of paramount importance for basic and applied research.

Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted <i>N</i>-acyl indole-derived enol carbonates.

Project description:The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted N-acyl indole-derived enol carbonates forming acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters is reported. Excellent yields up to 99% and enantioselectivities up to 98% ee are obtained through the use of a new electron-deficient phosphinoxazoline (PHOX) ligand. Control of substrate enolate geometry is crucial for high selectivity. The obtained α-quaternary N-acyl indoles are formal ester equivalents, and represent a useful handle for further synthetic transformations.

Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Intermolecular Indole C2-Allylation.

Project description:The enantioselective intermolecular C2-allylation of 3-substituted indoles is reported for the first time. This directing group-free approach relies on a chiral Ir-(P, olefin) complex and Mg(ClO4 )2 Lewis acid catalyst system to promote allylic substitution, providing the C2-allylated products in typically high yields (40-99?%) and enantioselectivities (83-99?% ee) with excellent regiocontrol. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that the reaction proceeds via direct C2-allylation, rather than C3-allylation followed by in situ migration. Steric congestion at the indole-C3 position and improved ?-? stacking interactions have been identified as major contributors to the C2-selectivity.

Enantioselective Radical Addition/Cross-Coupling of Organozinc Reagents, Alkyl Iodides, and Alkenyl Boron Reagents.

Project description:A hybrid transition-metal/radical process is described that results in the addition of organozinc reagents and alkyl halides across alkenyl boron reagents in an enantioselective catalytic fashion. The reaction can be accomplished both intermolecularly and intramolecularly, providing useful product yields and high enantioselectivities in both manifolds.
