Trifluorinated Tetralins via I(I)/I(III)-Catalysed Ring Expansion: Programming Conformation by [CH₂ CH₂ ] → [CF₂ CHF] Isosterism.

ABSTRACT: Saturated, fluorinated carbocycles are emerging as important modules for contemporary drug discovery. To expand the current portfolio, the synthesis of novel trifluorinated tetralins has been achieved. Fluorinated methyleneindanes serve as convenient precursors and undergo efficient difluorinative ring expansion with in situ generated p-TolIF₂ (>20 examples, up to >95 %). A range of diverse substituents are tolerated under standard catalysis conditions and this is interrogated by Hammett analysis. X-ray analysis indicates a preference for the CH-F bond to occupy a pseudo-axial orientation, consistent with stabilising σ_C-H →σ_C-F * interactions. The replacement of the symmetric [CH₂ -CH₂ ] motif by [CF₂ -CHF] removes the conformational degeneracy intrinsic to the parent tetralin scaffold leading to a predictable half-chair. The conformational behavior of this novel structural balance has been investigated by computational analysis and is consistent with stereoelectronic theory.

Synthesis of 8-oxo-dGTP and its β,γ-CH2-, β, γ-CHF-, and β, γ-CF2- analogues.

Project description:Three novel 8-oxo-dGTP bisphosphonate analogues of 3 in which the bridging β,γ-oxygen is replaced by a methylene, fluoromethylene or difluoromethylene group (4-6, respectively) have been synthesized from 8-oxo-dGMP 2 by reaction of its morpholine 5'-phosphoramidate 14 or preferably, its N-methylimidazole 5'-phosphoramidate 15 with n-tributylammonium salts of the appropriate bisphosphonic acids, 11-13. The latter method also provides a convenient new route to 3. Analogues 4-6 may be useful as mechanistic probes for the role of 3 in abnormal DNA replication and repair.

Product distribution and mechanism of the OH- initiated tropospheric degradation of three CFC replacement candidates: CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2, (CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 and (E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF.

Project description:The OH radical initiated photodegradation of 2-fluoropropene (CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene ((CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2) and (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene ((E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF) has been investigated for the first time using a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air coupled with in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor reactants and products. The major products observed in the OH reaction were CH3C(O)F (98 ± 5)% together with HC(O)H (89 ± 7)% as a co-product, CF3C(O)F (103 ± 8)% together with HC(O)F (96 ± 7)% as a co-product and CF3C(O)CF3 (91 ± 8)% together with HC(O)H (98 ± 12)% as a co-product from the C1-C2 bond cleavage channel of the intermediate hydroxyalkoxy radical, formed by addition of OH to the terminal carbon of the double bond which is designated C1 of 2-fluoropropene, (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene, respectively. The present results are compared with previous studies for the reaction of OH with the separate isomers (E) and (Z) of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene. In addition, atmospheric implications of the reactions studied are discussed.

Design, synthesis and SAR study of 3rd-generation taxoids bearing 3-CH3, 3-CF3O and 3-CHF2O groups at the C2-benzoate position.

Project description:It has been shown that inclusion of CF3O and CHF2O groups to drug candidates often improve their pharmacological properties, especially metabolic stability, membrane permeability and PK profile. Moreover, the unique non-spherical structure of the OCHF2 group can provide interesting and beneficial characteristics. Accordingly, new 3rd-generation taxoids, bearing 3-OCF3 or 3-OCF2H (and 3-CH3 for comparison) at the C2 benzoate moiety, were synthesized and their potencies against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cancer cell lines examined. In this study, our previous SAR studies on 3rd-generation taxoids were expanded to disclose that CH3, CF3O and CHF2O groups are well tolerated at this position and enhance potency, especially against MDR-cancer cell lines so that these taxoids can virtually overcome MDR. These new taxoids exhibit up to 7 times higher cytotoxicity (IC50) than paclitaxel against drug-sensitive cancer cell lines (MCF7 and LCC6-WT) and 2-3 orders of magnitude higher potency than paclitaxel against drug-resistant ovarian, breast and colon cancer cell lines with MDR-phenotype (NCI/ADR, LCC6-MDR and LDL-1), as well as pancreatic cancer cell line, CFPAC-1. Since it has been shown that a bulky group at this position reduces potency, it is noteworthy that rather bulky CF3O and CHF2O groups are well tolerated. Molecular modeling analysis indicated the favorable van der Waals interactions of CF3O and CHF2O groups in the binding site. It is also worthy of note that new taxoids, bearing a CHF2O group at the C2 benzoate position (1-06 series), exhibited the highest potencies against MDR-cancer cell lines and cancer stem cell (CSC)-enriched cancer cell lines. These new 3rd-generation taxoids are promising candidates for highly potent chemotherapeutic agents, as well as payloads for tumor-targeting drug conjugates such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Ionic Association in CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3(PVDF)-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1, 4: A Computational Approach.

Project description:The ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes is governed by the ionic association caused by the polymer···Li+ and the anion···Li+ interactions. We performed the density functional calculation to analyze the molecular interactions in the CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1,4 systems. The gauche conformation is predicted in the lowest energy conformer of pure polymer except for n = 1. The lithium coordination number with the polymer is changed from 3 to 2 in the presence of anion for n = 2, 4 systems. The consequences of the Li+ ion and Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- to the vibrational spectrum are studied to understand the ionic association at the molecular level.

Zr-MOFs for CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, and CH4/N2 separation: towards the goal of discovering stable and effective adsorbents.

Project description:Zirconium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be promising adsorbents for various applications as they are highly stable in different chemical environments. In this work, a collection of Zr-MOFs comprised of more than 100 materials is screened for CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, and CH4/N2 separations using atomistic-level simulations. The top three MOFs for the CF4/CH4 separation are identified as PCN-700-BPDC-TPDC, LIFM-90, and BUT-67 exhibiting CF4/CH4 adsorption selectivities of 4.8, 4.6, and 4.7, CF4 working capacities of 2.0, 2.0, and 2.1 mol kg-1, and regenerabilities of 85.1, 84.2, and 75.7%, respectively. For the CH4/H2 separation, MOF-812, BUT-67, and BUT-66 are determined to be the top performing MOFs demonstrating CH4/H2 selectivities of 61.6, 36.7, and 46.2, CH4 working capacities of 3.0, 4.1, and 3.4 mol kg-1, and CH4 regenerabilities of 70.7, 82.7, and 74.7%, respectively. Regarding the CH4/N2 separation, BUT-67, Zr-AbBA, and PCN-702 achieving CH4/N2 selectivities of 4.5, 3.4, and 3.8, CH4 working capacities of 3.6, 3.9, and 3.5 mol kg-1, and CH4 regenerabilities of 81.1, 84.0, and 84.5%, in successive order, show the best overall separation performances. To further elucidate the adsorption in top performing adsorbents, the adsorption sites in these materials are analyzed using radial distribution functions and adsorbate density profiles. Finally, the water affinities of Zr-MOFs are explored to comment on their practical use in real gas separation applications. Our findings may inspire future studies probing the adsorption/separation mechanisms and performances of Zr-MOFs for different gases.

Computational investigation of multifunctional MOFs for adsorption and membrane-based separation of CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 mixtures.

Project description:The ease of functionalization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can unlock unprecedented opportunities for gas adsorption and separation applications as the functional groups can impart favorable/unfavorable regions/interactions for the desired/undesired adsorbates. In this study, the effects of the presence of multiple functional groups in MOFs on their CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 separation performances were computationally investigated combining grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The most promising adsorbents showing the best combinations of selectivity, working capacity, and regenerability were identified for each gas separation. 15, 13, and 16 out of the top 20 MOFs identified for the CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 adsorption-based separation, respectively, were found to have -OCH3 groups as one of the functional groups. The biggest improvements in CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 selectivities were found to be induced by the presence of -OCH3-OCH3 groups in MOFs. For CH4/H2 separation, MOFs with two and three functionalized linkers were the best adsorbent candidates while for N2/H2 separation, all the top 20 materials involve two functional groups. Membrane performances of the MOFs were also studied for CH4/H2 and CH4/N2 separation and the results showed that MOFs having -F-NH2 and -F-OCH3 functional groups present the highest separation performances considering both the membrane selectivity and permeability.

1,1-Difluoroethyl chloride (CH3CF2Cl), a novel difluoroalkylating reagent for 1,1-difluoroethylation of arylboronic acids.

Project description:1,1-Difluoroethylated aromatics are of great importance in medicinal chemistry and related fields. 1,1-Difluoroethyl chloride (CH3CF2Cl), a cheap and abundant industrial raw material, is viewed as an ideal 1,1-difluoroethylating reagent, but the direct introduction of the difluoroethyl (CF2CH3) group onto aromatic rings using CH3CF2Cl has not been successfully accomplished. Herein, we disclose a nickel-catalyzed 1,1-difluoroethylation of arylboronic acids with CH3CF2Cl for the synthesis of (1,1-difluoroethyl)arenes.

Magnesium-specific ring expansion/contraction catalysed by the class II diterpene cyclase from pleuromutilin biosynthesis.

Project description:The class II diterpene cyclase (DTC) from pleuromutilin biosynthesis uniquely mediates 'A' ring contraction of the initially formed decalin bicycle, yielding mutildienyl diphosphate (MPP). Catalysis requires a divalent metal cation co-factor. Intriguingly, selectively with magnesium, this DTC catalyzes ring expansion/contraction between MPP and halimadienyl diphosphate, providing some catalytic insight.
