Reagent-controlled regiodivergent ring expansions of steroids.

ABSTRACT: Ring expansion provides a powerful way of introducing a heteroatom substituent into a carbocyclic framework. However, such reactions are often limited by the tendency of a given substrate to afford only one of the two rearrangement products or fail to achieve high selectivity at all. These limitations are particularly acute when seeking to carry out late-stage functionalization of natural products as starting points in drug discovery. In this work, we present a stereoelectronically controlled ring expansion sequence towards selective and flexible access to complementary ring systems derived from common steroidal substrates. Chemical diversification of the reaction intermediate affords over 100 isomerically pure analogs with spatial and functional diversity. This regiodivergent rearrangement, and the concept of using chiral reagents to affect regiocontrol in chiral natural products, should be broadly applicable to late-stage natural product diversification programs.

Ring expansions of acyloxy nitroso compounds.

Project description:Treatment of cyclopentanone and cyclobutanone-derived oximes with lead (IV) tetraacetate gives the bright blue acyloxy nitroso compounds, which upon basic hydrolysis yields the ring expansion product cyclic hydroxamic acids in 12-81% yield. Reactions of substituted cyclopentanones provide ring expanded products where the -NOH group regioselectively inserts to the more substituted position and gives a better yield compared to the treatment of the same ketone with a basic solution of Piloty's acid. Reaction of phosphines with acyloxy nitroso compounds generally generates a ring-expanded Beckmann rearrangement product that can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding lactam. Acyloxy nitroso compounds that undergo rapid hydrolysis to HNO do not show this ring expansion reactivity. These results further demonstrate the versatility of acyloxy nitroso compound to yield structurally complex materials.

Asymmetric Synthesis of (-)-6-Desmethyl-Fluvirucinine A? via Conformationally-Controlled Diastereoselective Lactam-Ring Expansions.

Project description:The versatile synthesis of (-)-6-desmethyl-fluvirucinine A? was accomplished at a 24% overall yield through a thirteen-step process from a known vinylpiperidine. The key part involved the elaboration of the distal stereocenters and a macrolactam skeleton via conformationally-induced diastereocontrol and the iterative aza-Claisen rearrangements of lactam precursors.

Rh-Catalyzed Aziridine Ring Expansions to Dehydropiperazines.

Project description:Piperazines are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and natural products, but traditional methods do not typically introduce stereochemical complexity into the ring. To expand access to these scaffolds, we report Rh-catalyzed ring expansions of aziridines and N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles to furnish dehydropiperazines with excellent diastereocontrol. Productive ring expansion proceeds via a pseudo-1,4-sigmatropic rearrangement of an aziridinium ylide species. However, the structural features of the carbene precursor are important, as pyridotriazoles undergo competing cheletropic extrusion to furnish ketimines.

Rh-catalyzed Reagent-Free Ring Expansion of Cyclobutenones and Benzocyclobutenones.

Project description:Here we report a reagent-free rhodium-catalyzed ring-expansion reaction via C-C cleavage of cyclobutenones. A variety of poly-substituted cyclopentenones and 1-indanones can be synthesized from simple cyclobutenones and benzocyclobutenones. The reaction condition is near pH neutral without additional oxidants or reductants. The potential for developing a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of this reaction has also been demonstrated. Further study supports the proposed pathway involving Rh-insertion into the cyclobutenone C-C bond, followed by β-hydrogen elimination, olefin insertion and reductive elimination.

Reagent Controlled Stereoselective Synthesis of ?-Glucans.

Project description:The development of a general glycosylation method that allows for the stereoselective construction of glycosidic linkages is a tremendous challenge. Because of the differences in steric and electronic properties of the building blocks used, the outcome of a glycosylation reaction can vary greatly when switching form one glycosyl donor-acceptor pair to another. We here report a strategy to install cis-glucosidic linkages in a fully stereoselective fashion that is under direct control of the reagents used to activate a single type of donor building block. The activating reagents are tuned to the intrinsic reactivity of the acceptor alcohol to match the reactivity of the glycosylating agent with the reactivity of the incoming nucleophile. A protecting group strategy is introduced that is based on the sole use of benzyl-ether type protecting groups to circumvent changes in reactivity as a result of the protecting groups. For the stereoselective construction of the ?-glucosyl linkages to a secondary alcohol, a per-benzylated glusosyl imidate donor is activated with a combination of trimethylsilyltriflate and DMF, while activation of the same imidate donor with trimethylsilyl iodide in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide allows for the stereoselective cis-glucosylation of primary alcohols. The effectiveness of the strategy is illustrated in the modular synthesis of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis nonasaccharide, composed of an ?-(1-4)-oligoglucose backbone bearing different ?-glucosyl branches.

Catalytic Ring Expansions of Cyclic Alcohols Enabled by Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer.

Project description:We report here a catalytic method for the modular ring expansion of cyclic aliphatic alcohols. In this work, proton-coupled electron transfer activation of an allylic alcohol substrate affords an alkoxy radical intermediate that undergoes subsequent C-C bond cleavage to furnish an enone and a tethered alkyl radical. Recombination of this alkyl radical with the revealed olefin acceptor in turn produces a ring-expanded ketone product. The regioselectivity of this C-C bond-forming event can be reliably controlled via substituents on the olefin substrate, providing a means to convert a simple N-membered ring substrate to either n+1 or n+2 ring adducts in a selective fashion.

Reagent Controlled Stereoselective Assembly of α-(1,3)-Glucans.

Project description:Pre-activation based glycosylations have become a very powerful tool in the assembly of oligosaccharides and the use of nucleophilic additives allows for the in situ generation of reactive intermediates with tailored reactivity. We here use a glycosylation strategy that is based on the use of per-benzylated imidate building blocks for the fully stereoselective construction of a spacer equipped Aspergillus fumigatus α-1,3-octaglucan. We have used the trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI)-triphenylphosphine oxide (Ph3P=O) for the stereoselective installation of an azidopropanol spacer and triflic acid (TfOH)-dimethyl formamide (DMF) enabled glycosylations for the coupling reactions with the secondary glucosyl C-3-alcohols. An operationally simple in situ activation coupling procedure is introduced and used for the final glycosylation events towards the octasaccharide.

A multifunctional single-attachment-point reagent for controlled protein biotinylation.

Project description:The biotin/avidin system is one of the most widely used affinity detection and affinity capture systems in biology. However, the determination of the exact number of biotin tags attached onto a substrate is complicated by the fact that biotin does not present any light-absorbing or -emitting properties. Here, we describe a fluorescent biotinylation reagent designed from the general multifunctional single-attachment-point (MSAP) reagent concept. A Lys-Cys dipeptide scaffold was used to display a biotin functional group and a fluorescein functional group along with an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester reactive group. The resulting bifunctional MSAP reagent, Fl-Biotin-NHS, was used to prepare a monobiotinylated version of cetuximab, which was further reacted with avidin to obtain a soluble avidin-based cetuximab oligomer. The MSAP peptide-scaffold approach allows fluorophores, chromophores, or reactive groups to be combined with biotin and provides a broad approach to obtain multifunctional biotin-based reagents.

Reagent controlled addition of chiral sulfur ylides to chiral aldehydes.

Project description:The degree of reagent and substrate control in the reaction of chiral sulfur ylides with chiral aldehydes has been investigated. Specifically, the reactions of the two enantiomers of the chiral benzyl sulfonium salt 1 with glyceraldehyde acetonide were studied in detail. Of the two new stereogenic centers created, it was found that the C1 stereochemistry was largely controlled by the reagent, whereas control at the C2 center was dependent on the aldehyde used. In one case, the trans isomer was produced via reversible formation of the intermediate betaine, whereas in the alternative case, the C2 center was under Felkin Anh/Cornforth control through non-reversible formation of the betaine. Thus, the aldehyde stereocenter influenced the degree of reversibility in betaine formation, which impacted on the stereocontrol at the C2 position.
