One-Pot Synthesis of Seven-Membered Heterocyclic Derivatives of Diazepines Involving Copper-Catalyzed Rearrangement Cascade Allyl-Amination.

ABSTRACT: A novel and efficient method has been proposed for the synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine-5-ones from o-nitrobenzoic N-allylamides by using molybdenyl acetylacetonate and copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate as catalysts in the presence of triphenylphosphine. This synthesis process involves nitrene formation, C-H bond insertion, C═C bond rearrangement, and C-N bond formation cascade reactions via copper- and molybdenum-catalyzed mediation. The method features a wide substrate scope and a moderate to high yield (up to 90%), exhibiting the possibility for practical applications.

Project description:BackgroundChitin, the main form of aminated polysaccharide in nature, is a biocompatible, polycationic, and antimicrobial biopolymer used extensively in industrial processes. Despite the abundance of chitin, applications thereof are hampered by difficulties in feedstock harvesting and limited structural versatility. To address these problems, we proposed a two-step cascade employing carbohydrate oxidoreductases and amine transaminases for plant polysaccharide aminations via one-pot reactions. Using a galactose oxidase from Fusarium graminearum for oxidation, this study compared the performance of CvATA (from Chromobacterium violaceum) and SpATA (from Silicibacter pomeroyi) on a range of oxidized carbohydrates with various structures and sizes. Using a rational enzyme engineering approach, four point mutations were introduced on the SpATA surface, and their effects on enzyme activity were evaluated.ResultsHerein, a quantitative colorimetric assay was developed to enable simple and accurate time-course measurement of the yield of transamination reactions. With higher operational stability, SpATA produced higher product yields in 36 h reactions despite its lower initial activity. Successful amination of oxidized galactomannan by SpATA was confirmed using a deuterium labeling method; higher aminated carbohydrate yields achieved with SpATA compared to CvATA were verified using HPLC and XPS. By balancing the oxidase and transaminase loadings, improved operating conditions were identified where the side product formation was largely suppressed without negatively impacting the product yield. SpATA mutants with multiple alanine substitutions besides E407A showed improved product yield. The E407A mutation reduced SpATA activity substantially, supporting its predicted role in maintaining the dimeric enzyme structure.ConclusionsUsing oxidase-amine transaminase cascades, the study demonstrated a fully enzymatic route to polysaccharide amination. Although the activity of SpATA may be further improved via enzyme engineering, the low operational stability of characterized amine transaminases, as a result of low retention of PMP cofactors, was identified as a key factor limiting the yield of the designed cascade. To increase the process feasibility, future efforts to engineer improved SpATA variants should focus on improving the cofactor affinity, and thus the operational stability of the enzyme.
