The mechanism behind enhanced reactivity of unsaturated phosphorus(v) electrophiles towards thiols.

ABSTRACT: Vinyl- and ethynyl phosphorus(v) electrophiles are a versatile class of thiol-reactive reagents suitable for cysteine-selective peptide and protein modifications, especially for the generation of antibody conjugates. Herein we investigated the reactivity of various P(v) reagents towards thiol addition. Complementing previous studies, we observed that the heteroatoms X (X = S, O, NH) as well as the vinyl- vs. ethynyl-substituent bound to phosphorus greatly influence the overall reactivity. These experimentally observed trends, as well as the high Z-selectivity for thiol additions to ethynyl derivatives, were further elucidated using DFT calculations. Hyperconjugation was a key means of stabilizing the intermediate generated upon the thiol addition, thus determining both the reactivity and stereoselectivity of unsaturated P(v) electrophiles. Specifically, the energetically low-lying σ antibonding orbital of the P-S bond more readily stabilizes the electron density from the lone pair (LP) of the generated carbanion, rendering the phosphonothiolates more reactive compared to the derivatives bearing oxygen and nitrogen. Our studies provide a detailed mechanistic picture for designing P(v)-based electrophiles with fine-tuned reactivity profiles.

Unconventional Reactivity of Ethynylbenziodoxolone Reagents and Thiols: Scope and Mechanism.

Project description:1,2-Dithio-1-alkenes are biologically active compounds widely implemented throughout organic synthesis, functional materials, coordination chemistry, and pharmaceuticals. Traditional methods for accessing 1,2-dithio-1-alkenes often demand transition metal catalysts, specialized or air-sensitive ligands, high temperatures, and disulfides (R2 S2 ). Herein, a general and efficient strategy utilizing ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents and thiols is presented that results in the formation of 1,2-dithio-1-alkenes with excellent regioselectivity and stereoselectivity through unprecedented reactivity between the EBX and the thiol. This operationally simple procedure utilizes mild conditions, which result in a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance. The observed unexpected reactivity has been rationalized through both experimental results and DFT calculations.

Understanding the Chemical Mechanism behind Photoinduced Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Project description:Photoinduced enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PIERS) is a new surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) modality with a 680% Raman signal enhancement of adsorbed analytes over that of SERS. Despite the explosion in recent demonstrations, the PIERS mechanism remains undetermined. Using X-ray and time-resolved optical spectroscopies, electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory simulations, we elucidate the atomic-scale mechanism behind PIERS. Stable PIERS substrates were fabricated using self-organized arrays of TiO2 nanotubes with controlled oxygen vacancy doping and size-controlled silver nanoparticles. The key source of PIERS vs SERS enhancement is an increase in the Raman polarizability of the adsorbed analyte upon photoinduced charge transfer. A balance between improved crystallinity, which enhances charge transfer due to higher electron mobility but decreases light absorption, and increased oxygen vacancy defect concentration, which increases light absorption, is critical. This work enables the rational design of PIERS substrates for sensing.

Reactivity of a Sterically Unencumbered α-Borylated Phosphorus Ylide towards Small Molecules.

Project description:The influence of substituents on α-borylated phosphorus ylides (α-BCPs) has been investigated in a combined experimental and quantum chemical approach. The synthesis and characterization of Me3 PC(H)B(iBu)2 (1), consisting of small Me substituents on phosphorous and iBu residues on boron, is reported. Compound 1 is accessible through a novel synthetic approach, which has been further elucidated through DFT studies. The reactivity of 1 towards various small molecules was probed and compared with that of a previously published derivative, Ph3 PC(Me)BEt2 (2). Both α-BCPs react with NH3 to undergo heterolytic N-H bond cleavage. Different di- and trimeric ring structures were observed in the reaction products of 1 with CO and CO2 . With PhNCO and PHNCS, the expected insertion products [Me3 PC(H)(PhNCO)B(iBu)2 ] and [Me3 PC(H)(PhNCS)B(iBu)2 ], respectively, were isolated.

Amine-linked diglycosides: Synthesis facilitated by the enhanced reactivity of allylic electrophiles, and glycosidase inhibition assays.

Project description:Diglycose derivatives, consisting of two monosaccharides linked at non-anomeric positions by a bridging nitrogen atom, have been synthesised. Conversion of one of the precursor monosaccharide coupling components into an unsaturated derivative enhances its electrophilicity at the allylic position, facilitating coupling reactions. Mitsunobu coupling between nosylamides and 2,3-unsaturated-4-alcohols gave the 4-amino-pseudodisaccharides with inversion of configuration as single regio- and diastereoisomers. A palladium-catalysed coupling between an amine and a 2,3-unsaturated 4-trichloroacetimidate gave a 2-amino-pseudodisaccharide as the major product, along with other minor products. Derivatisation of the C=C double bond in pseudodisaccharides allowed the formation of Man(N4-6)Glc and Man(N4-6)Man diglycosides. The amine-linked diglycosides were found to show weak glycosidase inhibitory activity.

Disparate proteome reactivity profiles of carbon electrophiles.

Project description:Insights into the proteome reactivity of electrophiles are crucial for designing activity-based probes for enzymes lacking cognate affinity labels. Here, we show that different classes of carbon electrophiles exhibit markedly distinct amino acid labeling profiles in proteomes, ranging from selective reactivity with cysteine to adducts with several amino acids. These data specify electrophilic chemotypes with restricted and permissive reactivity profiles to guide the design of next-generation functional proteomics probes.

Metal-Free Regiodivergent Addition of Carbon Nucleophiles to α,β-Unsaturated Electrophiles.

Project description:A mild and metal-free regiodivergent addition of carbon nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated electrophiles was developed. Total 1,2-regioselectivity was observed in the addition of nitrobenzyl chloride derivative 1 to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 2 in the presence of TDAE. Moreover, the reaction between p-nitrobenzyl chloride 1a and α,β-unsaturated iminium salts 4 led to the formation of the 1,4-adduct with total regioselectivity.

Experimental and theoretical demonstrations for the mechanism behind enhanced microbial electron transfer by CNT network.

Project description:Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) share the principle of the microbially catalyzed anodic substrate oxidation. Creating an electrode interface to promote extracellular electron transfer from microbes to electrode and understanding such mechanisms are crucial for engineering BESs. In this study, significantly promoted electron transfer and a 10-times increase in current generation in a BES were achieved by the utilization of carbon nanotube (CNT) network, compared with carbon paper. The mechanisms for the enhanced current generation with the CNT network were elucidated with both experimental approach and molecular dynamic simulations. The fabricated CNT network was found to be able to substantially enhance the interaction between the c-type cytochromes and solid electron acceptor, indicating that the direct electron transfer from outer-membrane decaheme c-type cytochromes to electrode might occur. The results obtained in this study will benefit for the optimized design of new materials to target the outer membrane proteins for enhanced electron exchanges.

Molecular mechanism behind the hematopoiesis-enhancing effect of SRT3025

Project description:We used wild-type 129 mice to understand the mechanism of action behind SRT3025’s hematopoiesis-enhancing effect. Transcriptome analysis of cKit+ Sca1+ Lin- cells (KSL) cells discovered that a list of genes changed their expression levels significantly after SRT3025 administration in wild-type mice. Most notably, the cell cycle regulator p21 was down-regulated by 2.1 fold after SRT3025 administration. It is possible that the transcriptional suppression of p21 by SRT3025 might contribute to the compound’s beneficial effects on hematopoiesis. It has to be pointed out that, since our transcriptome analysis was limited to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell population, we cannot rule out the possibility that SRT3025 works through the regulation of other cells such as certain important HSC niche components. The HSC niche is known to regulate stem cell pool size. Among the other genes suppressed by SRT3025, Thbs1 and Fosl2 encode thrombospondin 1 and Fos-like antigen 2, respectively. Both proteins are components of the HSC niche. The goal of this study is to investigate gene expression changes in wild-type 129 mice in response to SRT3025 treatment. The study focuses on bone marrow cKit+ Sca1+ Lin- cells (representing hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells). These cells were sorted twice by FACS to ensure the purity. Cells of interest were collected in Trizol. RNA were isolated using RNAeasy mini prep kit and mRNAs were positively selected using oligo(dT)- Dynobeads. Then RNAseq libraries were then made using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit and sequeced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 genome analyzer.
