Synthesis of Isothiocyanates Using DMT/NMM/TsO^- as a New Desulfurization Reagent.

ABSTRACT: Thirty-three alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates, as well as isothiocyanate derivatives from esters of coded amino acids and from esters of unnatural amino acids (6-aminocaproic, 4-(aminomethyl)benzoic, and tranexamic acids), were synthesized with satisfactory or very good yields (25-97%). Synthesis was performed in a "one-pot", two-step procedure, in the presence of organic base (Et₃N, DBU or NMM), and carbon disulfide via dithiocarbamates, with 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium toluene-4-sulfonate (DMT/NMM/TsO^-) as a desulfurization reagent. For the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates, reactions were carried out in a microwave reactor, and selected alkyl isothiocyanates were also synthesized in aqueous medium with high yields (72-96%). Isothiocyanate derivatives of L- and D-amino acid methyl esters were synthesized, under conditions without microwave radiation assistance, with low racemization (er 99 > 1), and their absolute configuration was confirmed by circular dichroism. Isothiocyanate derivatives of natural and unnatural amino acids were evaluated for antibacterial activity on E. coli and S. aureus bacterial strains, where the most active was ITC 9e.

Modular Sulfondiimine Synthesis Using a Stable Sulfinylamine Reagent.

Project description:Sulfondiimines-the double aza-analogues of sulfones-hold significant potential as leads in discovery chemistry, yet their application in this arena has been held back by the scarcity of appropriate synthetic routes. Existing methods employ sulfides as substrates, and rely on consecutive imination reactions using the hazardous reagent O-mesitylenesulfonyl hydroxylamine. Here we report a method for sulfondiimine synthesis that does not begin with a sulfide or a thiol, and instead employs two Grignard reagents and a bespoke sulfinylamine (R-N?S?O) reagent as starting materials. Lewis acid-mediated assembly of these three components provides efficient access to a series of sulfilimine intermediates. A novel rhodium-catalyzed imination of these electron-rich sulfilimines then delivers a varied range of sulfondiimines featuring orthogonal N-functionalization. Conditions for the selective manipulation of both N-atoms of the sulfondiimines are reported, allowing access to a broad range of mono- and difunctionalized products. The oxidation of the sulfilimine intermediates is also described, and provides a complementary route to sulfoximines.

Chemical Synthesis of a Potent Antimicrobial Peptide Murepavadin Using a Tandem Native Chemical Ligation/Desulfurization Reaction.

Project description:Classical approaches for the backbone cyclization of polypeptides require conditions that may compromise the chirality of the C-terminal residue during the activation step of the cyclization reaction. Here, we describe an efficient epimerization-free approach for the Fmoc-based synthesis of murepavadin using intramolecular native chemical ligation in combination with a concomitant desulfurization reaction. Using this approach, bioactive murepavadin was produced in a good yield in two steps. The synthetic peptide antibiotic showed potent activity against different clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. This approach can be easily adapted for the production of murepavadin analogues and other backbone-cyclized peptides.

Synthesis of oligonucleotides carrying thiol groups using a simple reagent derived from threoninol.

Project description:Oligonucleotides carrying thiol groups are useful intermediates for a remarkable number of applications involving nucleic acids. In this study, DNA oligonucleotides carrying tert-butylsulfanyl protected thiol groups have been prepared. A building block derived from threoninol has been developed to introduce a thiol group at any predetemined position of an oligonucleotide. The resulting thiolated oligonucleotides have been used for the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates and for the functionalization of gold nanoparticles using the reactivity of the thiol groups.

Synthesis and Characterization of 5-MeO-DMT Succinate for Clinical Use.

Project description:To support clinical use, a multigram-scale process has been developed to provide 5-MeO-DMT, a psychedelic natural product found in the parotid gland secretions of the toad, Incilius alvarius. Several synthetic routes were initially explored, and the selected process featured an optimized Fischer indole reaction to 5-MeO-DMT freebase in high-yield, from which the 1:1 succinate salt was produced to provide 136 g of crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with 99.86% peak area by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a net yield of 49%. The report provides in-process monitoring, validated analytical methods, impurity formation and removal, and solid-state characterization of the API essential for subsequent clinical development.

Facile rhenium-peptide conjugate synthesis using a one-pot derived Re(CO)3 reagent.

Project description:We have synthesized two Re(CO)3-modified lysine complexes (1 and 2), where the metal is attached to the amino acid at the N? position, via a one-pot Schiff base formation reaction. These compounds can be used in the solid phase synthesis of peptides, and to date we have produced four conjugate systems incorporating neurotensin, bombesin, leutenizing hormone releasing hormone, and a nuclear localization sequence. We observed uptake into human umbilical vascular endothelial cells as well as differential uptake depending on peptide sequence identity, as characterized by fluorescence and rhenium elemental analysis.

A new reagent for direct difluoromethylation.

Project description:Molecular scaffolds containing alkylfluorine substituents are desired in many areas of chemical research from materials to pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report the invention of a new reagent (Zn(SO(2)CF(2)H)(2), DFMS) for the innate difluoromethylation of organic substrates via a radical process. This mild, operationally simple, chemoselective, and scalable difluoromethylation method is compatible with a range of nitrogen-containing heteroarene substrates of varying complexity as well as select classes of conjugated ?-systems and thiols. Regiochemical comparisons suggest that the CF(2)H radical generated from the new reagent possesses nucleophilic character.

Reagent Controlled Stereoselective Synthesis of α-Glucans.

Project description:The development of a general glycosylation method that allows for the stereoselective construction of glycosidic linkages is a tremendous challenge. Because of the differences in steric and electronic properties of the building blocks used, the outcome of a glycosylation reaction can vary greatly when switching form one glycosyl donor-acceptor pair to another. We here report a strategy to install cis-glucosidic linkages in a fully stereoselective fashion that is under direct control of the reagents used to activate a single type of donor building block. The activating reagents are tuned to the intrinsic reactivity of the acceptor alcohol to match the reactivity of the glycosylating agent with the reactivity of the incoming nucleophile. A protecting group strategy is introduced that is based on the sole use of benzyl-ether type protecting groups to circumvent changes in reactivity as a result of the protecting groups. For the stereoselective construction of the α-glucosyl linkages to a secondary alcohol, a per-benzylated glusosyl imidate donor is activated with a combination of trimethylsilyltriflate and DMF, while activation of the same imidate donor with trimethylsilyl iodide in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide allows for the stereoselective cis-glucosylation of primary alcohols. The effectiveness of the strategy is illustrated in the modular synthesis of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis nonasaccharide, composed of an α-(1-4)-oligoglucose backbone bearing different α-glucosyl branches.
