Efficient construction of the securine A carbon skeleton.

ABSTRACT: Securamine A is a structurally intriguing alkaloid possessing a pyrroloindole core joined via a modified isoprene subunit to a functionalized imidazole ring. Recent synthetic efforts in this laboratory have resulted in the efficient construction of key lactone 36, which undergoes tandem azide reduction/ring expansion to macrolactam 37. Macrolactam 37 possesses the complete macrocyclic core of securamine A.

TESOTf-induced rearrangement of quinols. Efficient construction of the fully functionalized carbon skeleton of the griseusins by a divergent-reconvergent approach.

Project description:[reaction: see text] The "reverse polarity" or "umpolung" strategy for the total synthesis of aryl C-glycosides was developed in the context of the antibiotic (-)-griseusin B. Although a key reaction in a model sequence for the total synthesis produced two structurally divergent products, both were converted to the same advanced model intermediate that contains the complete carbon skeleton and (except for the extraneous oxygen substituent in the model series) the functional group pattern of the griseusins.

Assembling the carbon skeleton of A-74528.

Project description:The 2'-phosphodiesterase inhibitor A-74528, which combines an intriguing biosynthesis with unusual biological activity, is one of the most complex type II polyketides. As a synthetic target, it represents a significant challenge due to its size but also due to a unique carbon skeleton that features a hexacarbocyclic core with an appended pyrone. Here we report our efforts toward the synthesis of A-74528, which culminated in the construction of the full carbon skeleton and the correct installation of all but one stereocenter. Our strategy employs a molybdenum-catalyzed branched allylation to establish the central quaternary carbon and relies on establishing the remaining stereocenters in a substrate-controlled manner. Carbocycles were established using a spiro epoxide annulation, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, followed by an aldol condensation, and a gold-catalyzed hydroarylation. The pyrone was appended to an aldehyde branching off the quaternary stereocenter by a one-carbon homologation and Mukaiyama aldol addition.

Nanostructure Engineering via Intramolecular Construction of Carbon Nitride as Efficient Photocatalyst for CO2 Reduction.

Project description:Light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis has gained great significance for generating solar fuel; the challenging charge separation process and sluggish surface catalytic reactions significantly restrict the progress of solar energy conversion using a semiconductor photocatalyst. Herein, we propose a novel and feasible strategy to incorporate dihydroxy benzene (DHB) as a conjugated monomer within the framework of urea containing CN (CNU-DHBx) to tune the electronic conductivity and charge separation due to the aromaticity of the benzene ring, which acts as an electron-donating species. Systematic characterizations such as SPV, PL, XPS, DRS, and TRPL demonstrated that the incorporation of the DHB monomer greatly enhanced the photocatalytic CO2 reduction of CN due to the enhanced charge separation and modulation of the ionic mobility. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of CNU-DHB15.0 in comparison with parental CN was 85 µmol/h for CO and 19.92 µmol/h of the H2 source. It can be attributed to the electron-hole pair separation and enhance the optical adsorption due to the presence of DHB. Furthermore, this remarkable modification affected the chemical composition, bandgap, and surface area, encouraging the controlled detachment of light-produced photons and making it the ideal choice for CO2 photoreduction. Our research findings potentially offer a solution for tuning complex charge separation and catalytic reactions in photocatalysis that could practically lead to the generation of artificial photocatalysts for efficient solar energy into chemical energy conversion.

Efficient Thermal Transport Highway Construction Within Epoxy Matrix via Hybrid Carbon Fibers and Alumina Particles.

Project description:Polymer composites with excellent thermal conductivity and superior mechanical strength are in high demand in the electrical engineering systems. However, achieving superior thermal conductivity and mechanical properties simultaneously at high loading of fillers will still be a challenging issue. In this work, a facile method was proposed to prepare the epoxy composite with carbon fibers (CFs) and alumina (Al2O3). This CF and Al2O3 hybrid structure can effectively reduce the interfacial thermal resistance between the matrix and the CFs. The thermal conductivity of epoxy composite with 6.4 wt % CFs and 74 wt % Al2O3 hybrid filler reaches 3.84 W/(m K), which is increasing by 2096% compared with that of pure epoxy. Meanwhile, the epoxy composite still retains outstanding thermal stability and mechanical performance at high filler loading. A cost-effective avenue to prepare highly thermally conductive and superior mechanical properties of polymer-based composites may enable some prospective application in advanced thermal management.

(+)-Rimocidin synthetic studies: construction of the C(1-27) aglycone skeleton.

Project description:Assembly of the C(1-27) macrocyclic skeleton of rimocidinolide, the aglycone of (+)-rimocidin (1), has been achieved in convergent fashion. Key features of the synthetic strategy entail application of multicomponent Type I Anion Relay Chemistry (ARC), in conjunction with the S(N)2/S(N)2' reaction manifolds of vinyl epoxides, both employing 2-substituted 1,3-dithianes to construct the C(1-19) carbon backbone. Yamaguchi union of a C(20-27) vinyl borate ester, possessing the all-trans triene, with an advanced C(1-19) vinyl iodide followed by macrocyclization via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling completed construction of the C(1-27) rimocidinolide skeleton.

Biosynthesis of the Unusual Carbon Skeleton of Nocuolin A.

Project description:Nocuolin A is a cytotoxic cyanobacterial metabolite that is proposed to be produced by enzymes of the noc biosynthetic gene cluster. Nocuolin A features a 1,2,3-oxadiazine moiety, a structural feature unique among natural products and, so far, inaccessible through organic synthesis, suggesting that novel enzymatic chemistry might be involved in its biosynthesis. This heterocycle is substituted with two alkyl chains and a 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety. We report here our efforts to elucidate the origin of the carbon skeleton of nocuolin A. Supplementation of cyanobacterial cultures with stable isotope-labeled fatty acids revealed that the central C13 chain is assembled from two medium-chain fatty acids, hexanoic and octanoic acids. Using biochemical assays, we show that a fatty acyl-AMP ligase, NocH, activates both fatty acids as acyl adenylates, which are loaded onto an acyl carrier protein domain and undergo a nondecarboxylative Claisen condensation catalyzed by the ketosynthase NocG. This enzyme is part of a phylogenetically well-defined clade within similar genomic contexts. NocG presents a unique combination of characteristics found in other ketosynthases, namely in terms of substrate specificity and reactivity. Further supplementation experiments indicate that the 3-hydroxypropanoyl moiety of 1 originates from methionine, through an as-yet-uncharacterized mechanism. This work provides ample biochemical evidence connecting the putative noc biosynthetic gene cluster to nocuolin A and identifies the origin of all its carbon atoms, setting the stage for elucidation of its unusual biosynthetic chemistry.

Construction of Type-II Heterojunctions in Crystalline Carbon Nitride for Efficient Photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub> Evolution.

Project description:As an encouraging photocatalyst, crystalline carbon nitride (CCN) exhibits unsatisfactory photocatalytic activity and stability due to its rapid recombination of photo-generative carriers. Herein, high-crystalline g-C3N4 was prepared, including CCN obtained in KCl (K-CCN), LiCl-KCl mixture (Li/K-CCN), and LiCl-NaCl-KCl mixture (Li/Na/K-CCN), via the molten salt strategy using pre-prepared bulk carbon nitride (BCN) as a precursor. The obtained BCN sample was formed by heptazine-based units, which convert into triazine-based units for K-CCN. Heptazine and triazine are two isotypes that co-exist in the Li/K-CCN and Li/Na/K-CCN samples. Compared with BCN and other CCN samples, the as-prepared Li/Na/K-CCN sample exhibited the optimal photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates (3.38 mmol·g-1·h-1 under simulated sunlight and 2.25 mmol·g-1·h-1 under visible light) and the highest apparent quantum yield (10.97%). The improved photocatalytic performance of the Li/Na/K-CCN sample is mainly attributed to the construction of type-II heterojunction and the institution of the built-in electric field between triazine-based CCN and heptazine-based BCN. This work provides a new strategy for the structural optimization and heterostructure construction of crystalline carbon nitride photocatalysts.
