Species specificity of O-linked carbohydrate chains of the oviducal mucins in amphibians: structural analysis of neutral oligosaccharide alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from the egg-jelly coats of Rana clamitans.

ABSTRACT: The extracellular matrix (the so-called jelly coat) surrounding amphibian eggs mainly comprises highly O-glycosylated proteins. These oviducal mucins have an important role in the fertilization process, and their carbohydrate chains are remarkably species-specific. Alkaline reductive treatment of the jelly-coat material of the frog Rana clamitans led to the release of oligosaccharide alditols. The neutral oligosaccharide alditols were fractionated and purified by successive chromatographic techniques. The structures of 27 of them, ranging from three to sixteen monosaccharides, were established by a combination of NMR spectroscopy, methylation analyses and matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time of flight MS. Typically, some of the neutral compounds appeared to possess the core structure: Gal(beta1-3)[GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-3)[GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol (where GalNAc-ol represents N-acetylgalactosaminitol). Moreover, a novel type of chain termination, characterized by an unusual sequence [Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(alpha1-4)Gal(beta1-3/4)] was observed. Indeed, the most complex representative structure of this series was found to be: Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(alpha1-4)Gal(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(alpha1-4)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]Gal(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)Gal(alpha1-3)Gal(alpha1-4)Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-6)]GalNAc-ol.

Structural analysis of the oligosaccharide-alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from the jelly coat of Rana utricularia eggs.

Project description:The O-linked oligosaccharides of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of Rana utricularia were analysed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Comparison of their structures with those characterized from seven other amphibians confirms that the carbohydrate chains of the jelly coat mucins are markers of the species. The new sequence GlcNAc(beta1-3)GlcNAc(beta1-6)[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc-ol is characteristic of Rana utricularia. The presence of blood group A determinants constitutes the main feature of this mucin.

Structural analysis of a new series of oligosaccharide-alditols released by reductive beta-elimination from oviducal mucins of Rana utricularia.

Project description:Egg jelly coats from Rana utricularia are formed by components secreted along the oviduct. These secretion products overlay the oocytes as they pass along the different oviducal portions. In this study, carbohydrate chains of the jelly coat surrounding the eggs of R. utricularia were released by alkali/borohydride treatment. Fractionation of O-linked oligosaccharide-alditols was achieved by a combination of chromatographic techniques comprising anion-exchange chromatography, gel-permeation chromatography and HPLC on a silica column bonded with aminopropyl groups. Structural characterization was performed by one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy in combination with matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time of flight MS and methylation analysis. Ten oligosaccharide structures possessing a core consisting of Galbeta(1-->3)GalNAc-ol with or without branching through a GlcNAc residue linked beta(1-->6) to the GalNAc residue (core type 2 or core type 1 respectively) are described. The most representative carbohydrate sequences are: GlcNAc(beta1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-4)]GlcNAc, GalNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)GlcNAc and Gal(beta1-3)GlcNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal(beta1-4)GlcNAc. The carbohydrate chains isolated from R. utricularia are quite different from those found in other amphibian species, in which the presence of species-specific material has been characterized. Since the jellies surrounding amphibian eggs are involved in egg-sperm interactions, these structural investigations can provide biochemical support for investigation of the fertilization process.

Reductive elimination from arylpalladium cyanide complexes.

Project description:We report the isolation and characterization of arylpalladium cyanide complexes that undergo reductive elimination to form arylnitriles. The rates of reductive elimination from a series of arylpalladium cyanide complexes reveal that the electronic effects on the reductive elimination from arylpalladium cyanide complexes are distinct from those on reductive reductive eliminations from arylpalladium alkoxo, amido, thiolate, and enolate complexes. Arylpalladium cyanide complexes containing aryl ligands with electron-donating substituents undergo reductive elimination of aromatic nitriles faster than complexes containing aryl ligands with electron-withdrawing substituents. In addition, the transition state for the reductive elimination of the aromatic nitrile is much different from that for reductive eliminations that occur from most other arylpalladium complexes. Computational studies indicate that the reductive elimination of an arylnitrile from Pd(II) occurs through a transition state more closely related in structure and electronic distribution to that for the insertion of CO into a palladium-aryl bond.

Evaluation of ion mobility-mass spectrometry for determining the isomeric heterogeneity of oligosaccharide-alditols derived from bovine submaxillary mucin.

Project description:Rapid separation and independent analysis of isomeric species are needed for the structural characterization of carbohydrates in glycomics research. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry techniques were used to examine a series of isomeric neutral oligosaccharide-alditols derived from bovine submaxillary mucin. Several analytical techniques were employed: (1) off line separation of the oligosaccharide-alditol mixture by HPLC; (2) direct and rapid evaluation of isomeric heterogeneity of oligosaccharides by electrospray ionization-ion mobility-time of flight mass spectrometry; and (3) mobility-selected MS2 and MS3 to evaluate isomeric mobility peaks by dual gate ion mobility-tandem mass spectrometry. Multiple isomeric ion mobility peaks were observed for the majority of oligosaccharide-alditols, which was achieved on the millisecond time scale after LC separation. Fragmentation spectra obtained from the collision-induced dissociation of isomeric precursor ions could be essentially identical, or dramatically different for a given precursor m/z using the dual-gate ion mobility quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. This further confirmed the need for rapid physical resolution of isomeric precursor species prior to their tandem mass spectral analysis.

Reversible Reductive Elimination in Aluminum(II) Dihydrides.

Project description:Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are defining reactions of transition-metal organometallic chemistry. In main-group chemistry, oxidative addition is now well-established but reductive elimination reactions are not yet general in the same way. Herein, we report dihydrodialanes supported by amidophosphine ligands. The ligand serves as a stereochemical reporter for reversible reductive elimination/oxidative addition chemistry involving AlI and AlIII intermediates.

Bimetallic reductive elimination from dinuclear Pd(III) complexes.

Project description:In 2009, we reported C-halogen reductive elimination reactions from dinuclear Pd(III) complexes and implicated dinuclear intermediates in Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed C-H oxidation chemistry. Herein, we report results of a thorough experimental and theoretical investigation of the mechanism of reductive elimination from such dinuclear Pd(III) complexes, which establish the role of each metal during reductive elimination. Our results implicate reductive elimination from a complex in which the dinuclear core is intact and suggest that redox synergy between the two metals is responsible for the facile reductive elimination reactions observed.

Slow reductive elimination from arylpalladium parent amido complexes.

Project description:We report reductive eliminations of primary arylamines from a series of bisphosphine-ligated arylpalladium(II) parent amido complexes that counter several established trends. In contrast to arylamido and alkylamido complexes of the aromatic bisphosphines DPPF and BINAP, parent amido complexes of these ligands do not form or undergo reductive elimination of monoarylamines. However, arylpalladium parent amido complexes ligated by the alkylbisphosphine CyPF-t-Bu do form in good yield and undergo reductive elimination. Despite the basicity of the parent amido ligand and the typically faster reductive elimination from complexes containing more basic amido ligands, the CyPF-t-Bu-ligated arylpalladium parent amido complexes undergo reductive elimination much more slowly than the analogous complexes containing arylamido or alkylamido ligands. Moreover, the parent amido complexes form more rapidly and are more stable thermodynamically in a series of exchange processes than the arylamido complexes. Computational studies support the overriding influence of steric effects on the stability and reactivity of the parent amido complex. The slow rate of reductive elimination causes the arylpalladium amido complex to be the resting state of the coupling of aryl halides with ammonia catalyzed by CyPF-t-Bu-ligated palladium, and this resting state contrasts the Pd(0) or arylpalladium(II) resting states of reactions of aryl halides with amines catalyzed by most palladium complexes.

Halide-Dependent Mechanisms of Reductive Elimination from Gold(III).

Project description:Two unique organometallic halide series (Ph3P)Au(4-Me-C6H4)(CF3)(X) and (Cy3P)Au(4-F-C6H4)(CF3)(X) (X = I, Br, Cl, F) have been synthesized. The PPh3-supported complexes can undergo both C(aryl)-X and C(aryl)-CF3 reductive elimination. Mechanistic studies of thermolysis at 122 °C reveal a dramatic reactivity and kinetic selectivity dependence on halide ligand. For X = I or F, zero-order kinetic behavior is observed, while for X = Cl or Br, kinetic studies implicate product catalysis. The selectivity for C(aryl)-CF3 bond formation increases in the order X = I < Br < Cl < F, with exclusively C(aryl)-I bond formation when X = I, and exclusively C(aryl)-CF3 bond formation when X = F. Thermodynamic measurements show that Au(III)-X bond dissociation energies increase in the order X = I < Br < Cl, and that ground state Au(III)-X bond strength ultimately dictates selectivities for C(aryl)-X and C(aryl)-CF3 reductive elimination.

Anion-Dependent Switch in C-X Reductive Elimination Diastereoselectivity.

Project description:Reaction of a complex Pt organometallic species with electrophilic halogen sources in the presence of X- ligands changes the mechanism of reductive elimination from a concerted reductive coupling type to an SN2 type reductive elimination. In the absence of the added X- ligand the reductive elimination is stereoretentive; in its presence, the process is stereoinvertive. This selectivity hinges on the reactivity of a key five-coordinate Pt(IV) intermediate with the X- ligand.

Force-modulated reductive elimination from platinum(ii) diaryl complexes.

Project description:Coupled mechanical forces are known to drive a range of covalent chemical reactions, but the effect of mechanical force applied to a spectator ligand on transition metal reactivity is relatively unexplored. Here we quantify the rate of C(sp2)-C(sp2) reductive elimination from platinum(ii) diaryl complexes containing macrocyclic bis(phosphine) ligands as a function of mechanical force applied to these ligands. DFT computations reveal complex dependence of mechanochemical kinetics on the structure of the force-transducing ligand. We validated experimentally the computational finding for the most sensitive of the ligand designs, based on MeOBiphep, by coupling it to a macrocyclic force probe ligand. Consistent with the computations, compressive forces decreased the rate of reductive elimination whereas extension forces increased the rate relative to the strain-free MeOBiphep complex with a 3.4-fold change in rate over a ∼290 pN range of restoring forces. The calculated natural bite angle of the free macrocyclic ligand changes with force, but 31P NMR analysis and calculations strongly suggest no significant force-induced perturbation of ground state geometry within the first coordination sphere of the (P-P)PtAr2 complexes. Rather, the force/rate behavior observed across this range of forces is attributed to the coupling of force to the elongation of the O⋯O distance in the transition state for reductive elimination. The results suggest opportunities to experimentally map geometry changes associated with reactions in transition metal complexes and potential strategies for force-modulated catalysis.
