The Formation of Impossible Rings in Macrocyclooligomerizations for Cyclodepsipeptide Synthesis: The 18-from-12 Paradox.

ABSTRACT: A reinvestigation into the macrocyclooligomerization (MCO) of a tetradepsipeptide is reported, uncovering a paradox in which the MCO of depsipeptide monomers can produce "impossible" ring sizes: a 12-atom chain produced the expected 24-membered ring, alongside unexpected 18- and 30-membered cyclic oligomeric depsipeptides (CODs). We report an alternative preparation of authentic 18- and 36-membered macrocycles for this case using a stepwise synthesis that provides definitive analytical characterization for each ring size. Our investigation yields a recharacterization and reassignment of two macrocycles originally reported in this MCO series, along with updated yields and isothermal titration calorimetry data after implementation of new critical protocols for purification and subsequent analysis. Initial studies to probe this mechanistic conundrum are described.

Cyclodepsipeptide alveolaride C: total synthesis and structural assignment.

Project description:First stereoselective total synthesis of naturally occurring bioactive cyclodepsipeptide alveolaride C has been achieved using a convergent approach. This synthetic study enabled us to establish unambiguously the stereochemistry of three unassigned chiral centres embedded in the nonpeptidic segment as well as revised the stereochemistry of the proposed β-phenylalanine counterpart of the molecule. The key strategic features of this synthesis include Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation for installing the vicinal diol moiety, Julia-Kocienski olefination for constructing the aliphatic side chain, the Shiina protocol for intermolecular esterification, amide coupling and macrolactamization for the ring formation.

Total synthesis of the marine cyanobacterial cyclodepsipeptide apratoxin A.

Project description:A total synthesis of apratoxin A was developed. Apratoxin A, isolated from Lyngbya spp. cyanobacteria, is representative of a growing class of marine cyanobacterial cyclodepsipeptides wherein discrete polypeptide and polyketide domains are merged by ester and amide or amide-derived linkages. In the apratoxins, the N terminus of the peptide domain [(Pro)-(N-Me-Ile)-(N-Me-ala)-(O-Me-Tyr)-(moCys)] is a modified vinylogous cysteine that is joined to a novel ketide [3,7-dihydroxy-2,5,8,8-tetramethylnonanoic acid (Dtna)] by an acid-sensitive thiazoline. The C-terminal proline is esterified to a hindered hydroxyl vicinal to the ketide's tert-butyl terminus. Major synthetic challenges included assembly and maintenance the thiazoline-containing moiety and macrolide formation involving acylation of the C39 hydroxyl. The Dtna domain was assembled in the biogenetic direction beginning with a Brown allylation of trimethylacetaldehyde to establish the C39 alcohol configuration. Diastereofacial selective addition of a higher-order dimethylcuprate upon a ring-closing metathesis-derived alpha,beta-unsaturated valerolactone installed the C37 methyl-bearing center. A Paterson anti-aldol process was used to incorporate the remaining two ketide stereogenic centers at C34 and C35. Although attempts to incorporate the thiazoline moiety by condensations of thiol esters bearing alpha-amino carbamate derivatives failed, an intramolecular Staudinger reduction-aza-Wittig process using alpha-azido thiol esters was uniquely successful. Late-stage macrocycle closure proceeded well by lactam formation between Pro and N-Me-Ile residues, but attempted lactonizations of the Pro carboxylate with the C39 hydroxyl failed. Optimization of C35 hydroxyl group protection-deprotection completed the effort, which culminated in the first total synthesis of apratoxin A and will enable analog generation toward improving differential cytotoxicity.

Simultaneous synthesis of both rings of chromenes via a benzannulation/o-quinone methide formation/electrocyclization cascade.

Project description:A new route to the chromene ring system has been developed which involves the reaction of an α,β-unsaturated Fischer carbene complex of chromium with a propargyl ether bearing an alkenyl group on the propargylic carbon. This transformation involves a cascade of reactions that begins with a benzannulation reaction and is followed by the formation of an o-quinone methide, and finally results in the emergence of a chromene upon an electrocyclization. This reaction was extended to provide access by employing an aryl carbene complex. This constitutes the first synthesis of chromenes in which both rings of the chromene system are generated in a single step and is highlighted in the synthesis of lapachenole and vitamin E.

Cluster Formation in Solutions of Polyelectrolyte Rings.

Project description:We use molecular dynamics simulations to explore concentrated solutions of semiflexible polyelectrolyte ring polymers, akin to the DNA mini-circles, with counterions of different valences. We find that the assembly of rings into nanoscopic cylindrical stacks is a generic feature of the systems, but the morphology and dynamics of such a cluster can be steered by the counterion conditions. In general, a small addition of trivalent ions can stabilize the emergence of clusters due to the counterion condensation, which mitigates the repulsion between the like-charged rings. Stoichiometric addition of trivalent ions can even lead to phase separation of the polyelectrolyte ring phase due to the ion-bridging effects promoting otherwise entropically driven clustering. On the other hand, monovalent counterions cause the formation of stacks to be re-entrant with density. The clusters are stable within a certain window of concentration, while above the window the polyelectrolytes undergo an osmotic collapse, disfavoring ordering. The cluster phase exhibits characteristic cluster glass dynamics with arrest of collective degrees of freedom but not the self-ones. On the other hand, the collapsed phase shows arrest on both the collective and single level, suggesting an incipient glass-to-glass transition, from a cluster glass of ring clusters to a simple glass of rings.

Ahp-Cyclodepsipeptide Inhibitors of Elastase: Lyngbyastatin 7 Stability, Scalable Synthesis, and Focused Library Analysis.

Project description:Due to the potency and selectivity of lyngbyastatin 7 in inhibiting neutrophil elastase, a serine protease involved in numerous diseases, this cyclodepsipeptide was considered as a promising lead and subjected to further developmental studies. Lyngbyastatin 7 displayed a favorable serum and microsomal stability profile. The large-scale synthesis of key building blocks was performed on gram scale with improved yields and simplified purification procedures. To tailor the complex structure, define the minimal pharmacophore, and modulate the physicochemical properties of the lead scaffold, the first pilot library of analogues was designed and synthesized for structure-activity relationship studies. We uncovered the essential role of the side chain, indicating that the minimal structural requirements for elastase inhibition extended beyond the 3-amino-6-hydroxy-2-piperidone (Ahp) and 2-aminobutenoic acid (Abu) moieties conventionally known to convey antiprotease activity and elastase selectivity, respectively. Our studies will facilitate the design and development of this class of elastase inhibitors.

Trapping of Small Molecules within Single or Double Cyclo[18]carbon Rings.

Project description:The encapsulation of a set of small molecules, H2, CO, CO2, SO2, and SO3, by a circular C18 ring is investigated by quantum calculations. These ligands lie near the center of the ring but, with the exception of H2, are disposed roughly perpendicular to the ring plane. Their binding energies with the C18 vary from 1.5 kcal/mol for H2 up to 5.7 kcal/mol for SO2, and the bonding is dominated by dispersive interactions spread over the entire ring. The binding of these ligands on the outside of the ring is weaker but allows the opportunity for each to bond covalently with the ring. A pair of C18 units lie parallel to one another. This pair can bind each of these ligands in the area between them with only small perturbations of the double ring geometry. The binding energies of these ligands to this double ring configuration are amplified by some 50% compared to the single ring systems. The presented data concerning the trapping of small molecules may have larger implications regarding hydrogen storage or air pollution reduction.

Total synthesis of the cytotoxic cyclodepsipeptide (-)-doliculide: the "ester" effect in acyclic 1,3-induction of deoxypropionates.

Project description:The total synthesis of the marine cyclodepsipeptide (-)-doliculide is described. An acyclic (2S,4S,6R)-trimethyl alkanoic acid precursor to the "hydrocarbon" portion of doliculide was synthesized starting with l-ascorbic acid based on a stereocontrolled iterative conjugate addition of lithium dimethylcuprate to acyclic delta-Cmethyl alpha,beta-unsaturated ester derivatives. syn/syn selectivity was achieved by relying on 1,3-induction in preferred folded conformations that avoid 1,5-syn-pentane interactions in the transition states. The nature of the ester moiety seems to play an important role in determining the syn/anti ratios of C-methyl adducts. The 1-methyl-1-cyclopentyl ester group was found to confer the best syn selectivity to the cuprate addition products, especially in seven-carbon enoates.

Ugi Multicomponent Reaction Based Synthesis of Medium-Sized Rings.

Project description:An Ugi multicomponent reaction based two-step strategy was applied to generate medium-sized rings. In the first linear expansion phase, a series of diamines reacted with cyclic anhydrides to produce different lengths of terminal synthetic amino acids as the starting material for the second phase. The Ugi-4-center 3-component reaction was utilized to construct complex medium-sized rings (8-11) by the addition of isocyanides and oxo components. This method features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope.
