Substituted nitrogen-bridged diazocines.

ABSTRACT: Novel nitrogen-bridged diazocines (triazocines) were synthesized that carry a formyl or an acetyl group at the CH₂NR-bridge and bromo- or iodo-substituents at the distant phenyl ring. The photophysical properties were investigated in acetonitrile and water. As compared to previous approaches the yields of the intramolecular azo cyclizations were increased (from ≈40 to 60%) using an oxidative approach starting from the corresponding aniline precursors. The Z→E photoconversion yields in acetonitrile are 80-85% and the thermal half-lives of the metastable E configurations are 31-74 min. Particularly, the high photoconversion yields (≈70%) of the water-soluble diazocines are noteworthy, which makes them promising candidates for applications in photopharmacology. The halogen substituents allow further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions.

Amino-substituted diazocines as pincer-type photochromic switches.

Project description:Azobenzenes are robust, reliable, and easy to synthesize photochromic switches. However, their high conformational flexibility is a disadvantage in machine-like applications. The almost free rotation of the phenyl groups can be restricted by bridging two ortho positions with a CH(2)CH(2) group, as realized in the dihydrodibenzo diazocine framework. We present the synthesis and properties of 3,3'-amino- and 3,3'-acetamido substituted diazocines. Upon irradiation with light of 405 and 530 nm they isomerize from the cis to the trans configuration and back, and thereby perform a pincer-like motion. In the thermodynamically more stable cis isomer the lone pairs of the amino nitrogen atoms point towards each other, and in the trans form they point in opposite directions. The distance between the amino nitrogen atoms changes between 8 Å (cis) and 11 Å (trans isomer).

Substrate Switchable Pathway for Selective Construction of Bridged Dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocines and Bridged Spiromethanodibenzo[<i>b</i>,<i>e</i>]azepines.

Project description:An operationally simple method for the synthesis of bridged dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocines and bridged spiromethanodibenzo[b,e]azepines exhibiting bridged eight-membered and seven-membered molecular architecture is reported. This unique approach is based on substrate selective mechanistic pathway, including an unprecendented aerial oxidation-driven mechanism for the synthesis of bridged spiromethanodibenzo[b,e]azepines. The reaction is highly atom economic, and in addition, it allows the construction of two rings and four bonds in a single operation under metal-free condition. The easy availability of β enaminone and ortho phathalaldehyde as starting materials and the simple operation make this approach suitable for the preparation of important dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine and spiromethanodibenzo[b,e]azepine cores.

Nitrogen fixation catalyzed by ferrocene-substituted dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum-dinitrogen complexes: unique behavior of ferrocene moiety as redox active site.

Project description:A series of dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum-dinitrogen complexes bearing metallocene-substituted PNP-pincer ligands is synthesized by the reduction of the corresponding monomeric molybdenum-trichloride complexes under 1 atm of molecular dinitrogen. Introduction of ferrocene as a redox-active moiety to the pyridine ring of the PNP-pincer ligand increases the catalytic activity for the formation of ammonia from molecular dinitrogen, up to 45 equiv. of ammonia being formed based on the catalyst (22 equiv. of ammonia based on each molybdenum atom of the catalyst). The time profile for the catalytic reaction reveals that the presence of the ferrocene unit in the catalyst increases the rate of ammonia formation. Electrochemical measurement and theoretical studies indicate that an interaction between the Fe atom of the ferrocene moiety and the Mo atom in the catalyst may play an important role to achieve a high catalytic activity.

Escaping from Flatland: Substituted Bridged Pyrrolidine Fragments with Inherent Three-Dimensional Character.

Project description:The pressure to deliver new medicines to the patient continues to grow along with increases in compound failure rate, thus putting the current R&D model at risk. Analysis has shown that increasing the three-dimensionality of potential drug candidates decreases the risk of failure and improves binding selectivity and frequency. For this reason many workers have taken a new look at the power of photochemistry as a means to generate novel sp3 rich scaffolds for use in drug discovery programs. Here we report the design, synthesis, and computational structural analysis of a series of 2,4-methanoprolines having inherent 3D character (PMI and PBF scores) significantly higher than that of the broader AbbVie Rule of 3 (Ro3) collection.

Exciton Delocalization and Scaffold Stability in Bridged Nucleotide-Substituted, DNA Duplex-Templated Cyanine Aggregates.

Project description:Molecular excitons play a foundational role in chromophore aggregates found in light-harvesting systems and offer potential applications in engineered excitonic systems. Controlled aggregation of chromophores to promote exciton delocalization has been achieved by covalently tethering chromophores to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) scaffolds. Although many studies have documented changes in the optical properties of chromophores upon aggregation using DNA scaffolds, more limited work has investigated how structural modifications of DNA via bridged nucleotides and chromophore covalent attachment impact scaffold stability as well as the configuration and optical behavior of attached aggregates. Here we investigated the impact of two types of bridged nucleotides, LNA and BNA, as a structural modification of duplex DNA-templated cyanine (Cy5) aggregates. The bridged nucleotides were incorporated in the domain of one to four Cy5 chromophores attached between adjacent bases of a DNA duplex. We found that bridged nucleotides increase the stability of DNA scaffolds carrying Cy5 aggregates in comparison with natural nucleotides in analogous constructs. Exciton coupling strength and delocalization in Cy5 aggregates were evaluated via steady-state absorption, circular dichroism, and theoretical modeling. Replacing natural nucleotides with bridged nucleotides resulted in a noticeable increase in the coupling strength (≥10 meV) between chromophores and increased H-like stacking behavior (i.e., more face-to-face stacking). Our results suggest that bridged nucleotides may be useful for increasing scaffold stability and coupling between DNA templated chromophores.

Synthesis of classical, four-carbon bridged 5-substituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 6-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues as antifolates.

Project description:We report, for the first time, the biological activities of four-carbon-atom bridged classical antifolates on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), thymidylate synthase (TS), and folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) as well as antitumor activity. Extension of the bridge homologation studies of classical two-carbon bridged antifolates, a 5-substituted 2,4-diaminofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1) and a 6-subsituted 2-amino-4-oxopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2), afforded two four-carbon bridged antifolates, analogues 5 and 6, with enhanced FPGS substrate activity and inhibitory activity against tumor cells in culture (EC(50) < or = 10(-7) M) compared with the two-carbon bridged analogues. These results support our original hypothesis that the distance and orientation of the side chain p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamate moiety with respect to the pyrimidine ring are a crucial determinant of biological activity. In addition, this study demonstrates that, for classical antifolates that are substrates for FPGS, poor inhibitory activity against isolated target enzymes is not necessarily a predictor of a lack of antitumor activity.

Heme-substituted protein assembly bridged by synthetic porphyrin: achieving controlled configuration while maintaining rotational freedom.

Project description:The use of biological host-guest interactions, specifically the binding of hemoprotein to heme, has attracted significant research interest in the design of artificial protein assemblies. However, because of the inherent flexibility of the propionic acid group of heme, it is difficult to control the positioning and orientation of the protein unit and to construct well-ordered structures. Herein, we report a heme-substituted protein dimer composed of the native hemoprotein HasA, which accommodates a tetraphenylporphyrin bearing an additional metal coordination site. The specific binding of the tetraphenylporphyrin with an additional metal coordination site that protrudes in a fixed direction confines the configuration of the dimer structure to a defined bent form. The small-angle X-ray scattering profile shows the dimer structure with a bent form and suggests dynamic rotational behavior while keeping its bent-core structure, resembling a bevel gear. This unique dimer structure demonstrates that the design of heme-substituted protein assemblies can be expanded to protein assemblies while maintaining the rotational freedom of the individual protein units.

Method for Accessing Nitrogen-Containing, B-Heteroaryl-Substituted 2,1-Borazaronaphthalenes.

Project description:The azaborine motif provides a mimic of aromatic systems through replacement of a C?C bond with a B-N bond. In particular, 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes, accessible through robust methods of synthesis and subsequent functionalization, afford an ideal platform to use for a variety of applications. However, the scope of substructures for this archetype has been limited by the lack of nitrogen-containing heteroaryls that can be incorporated within them. In this study, modified reaction conditions were developed to provide access to a wider range of substructures.

Synthesis of mono-functionalized S-diazocines via intramolecular Baeyer-Mills reactions.

Project description:Herein we report a reliable method to synthesize mono-functionalized S-diazocines in reproducible yields via intramolecular Baeyer-Mills reactions. Diazocines exhibit excellent photoswitchable properties. As opposed to azobenzenes they are more stable in their cis configuration. Particularly in photopharmacology mono-functionalized diazocines should be potentially useful and superior to the frequently used azobenzenes because the sterically more demanding cis configuration should be inactive, and the slender trans configuration should fit in a tight binding pocket of a receptor. Hence, it should be possible to administer the stabile inactive compound and switch it on at the site of illness with visible light. To date only a limited number of diazocine derivatives have been published of which most are symmetrically functionalized. Using the Baeyer-Mills reaction for the synthesis of diazocines opens a novel and convenient access to unsymmetrically substituted diazocines.
