Synergy Effects in the Chemical Synthesis and Extensions of Multicomponent Reactions (MCRs)-The Low Energy Way to Ultra-Short Syntheses of Tailor-Made Molecules.

ABSTRACT: Several novel methods, catalysts and reagents have been developed to improve organic synthesis. Synergistic effects between reactions, reagents and catalysts can lead to minor heats of reaction and occur as an inherent result of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) and their extensions. They enable syntheses to be performed at a low energy level and the number of synthesis steps to be drastically reduced in comparison with 'classical' two-component reactions, fulfilling the rules of Green Chemistry. The very high potential for variability, diversity and complexity of MCRs additionally generates an extremely diverse range of products, thus bringing us closer to the aim of being able to produce tailor-made and extremely low-cost materials, drugs and compound libraries.

Modern Multicomponent Reactions for better Drug Syntheses**

Project description:Multicomponent reaction (MCR) technology is now widely recognized for its impact on drug discovery projects and is strongly endorsed by industry as well as academia. However, still relatively few products based on MCRs are marketed or under development. This provides tremendous opportunities for organic chemists to shorten synthetic pathways thus reducing the cost-of-goods considerably. A recent example of the HCV drug Telaprevir is highlighted where introduction of two MCRs could lead to a shortening of the synthesis route by more than 50%.

Colorimetric detection of individual biothiols by tailor made reactions with silver nanoprisms.

Project description:We herein described a rapid, sensitive, and selective colorimetric sensing platform for biothiols in human serum, which relies on the dual functions of biothiols as anti-etching and aggregating agent for silver nanoprisms (AgNPRs). In principle, the target biothiols that bind to the surface of AgNPRs through Ag-S covalent interactions protect the AgNPRs from being etched by chloride ion (Cl-) in human serum, thus exhibiting the blue/purple color that is indicative of AgNPRs. On the other hand, the color of AgNPRs turned to yellow in the absence of biothiols or the presence of non-sulfur-containing amino acids, indicating the formation of small silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Importantly, we found that individual biothiols (Hcy, Cys, and GSH) exert not only the anti-etching effect, but also the aggregating effect on AgNPRs, which can be modulated by simply tuning the pH conditions, and this consequently allows for the discriminative detection of each biothiol. Based on this simple and cost-effective strategy, we successfully determined the Hcy, Cys, and GSH in human serum with high sensitivity and selectivity within 10 min, demonstrating the diagnostic capability and potential in practical applications.

Multicomponent reactions provide key molecules for secret communication.

Project description:A convenient and inherently more secure communication channel for encoding messages via specifically designed molecular keys is introduced by combining advanced encryption standard cryptography with molecular steganography. The necessary molecular keys require large structural diversity, thus suggesting the application of multicomponent reactions. Herein, the Ugi four-component reaction of perfluorinated acids is utilized to establish an exemplary database consisting of 130 commercially available components. Considering all permutations, this combinatorial approach can unambiguously provide 500,000 molecular keys in only one synthetic procedure per key. The molecular keys are transferred nondigitally and concealed by either adsorption onto paper, coffee, tea or sugar as well as by dissolution in a perfume or in blood. Re-isolation and purification from these disguises is simplified by the perfluorinated sidechains of the molecular keys. High resolution tandem mass spectrometry can unequivocally determine the molecular structure and thus the identity of the key for a subsequent decryption of an encoded message.

Synthesis of Biologically Active Molecules through Multicomponent Reactions.

Project description:Focusing on the literature progress since 2002, the present review explores the highly significant role that multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have played as a very important tool for expedite synthesis of a vast number of organic molecules, but also, highlights the fact that many of such molecules are biologically active or at least have been submitted to any biological screen. The selected papers covered in this review must meet two mandatory requirements: (1) the reported products should be obtained via a multicomponent reaction; (2) the reported products should be biologically actives or at least tested for any biological property. Given the diversity of synthetic approaches utilized in MCRs, the highly diverse nature of the biological activities evaluated for the synthesized compounds, and considering their huge structural variability, much of the reported data are organized into concise schemes and tables to facilitate comparison, and to underscore the key points of this review.

Exploring tailor-made Bronsted acid sites in mesopores of tin oxide catalyst for β-alkoxy alcohol and amino alcohol syntheses.

Project description:The generation of Brønsted (Sn-OH) and Lewis (coordinatively unsaturated metal centers) acidic sites on the solid surface is a prime demand for catalytic applications. Mesoporous materials are widely employed as catalysts and supports owing to their different nature of acidic sites. Nevertheless, the procedure adopted to generate acid functionalities in these materials involves tedious steps. Herein, we report the tunable acidic sites containing Brønsted sites with relatively varied acid strength in tin oxide by employing soft template followed by simple thermal treatment at various temperatures. The readily accessible active sites, specifically Brønsted acidic sites distributed throughout the tin oxide framework as well as mesoporosity endow them to perform with exceptionally high efficiency for epoxide ring opening reactions with excellent reusability. These features promoted them to surpass stannosilicate catalysts for the epoxide ring opening reactions with alcohol as a nucleophile and the study was extended to aminolysis of epoxide with the amine. The existence of relatively greater acid strength and numbers in T-SnO2-350 catalyst boosts to produce a high amount of desired products over other tin oxide catalysts. The active sites responsible in mesoporous tin oxide for epoxide alcoholysis were studied by poisoning the Brønsted acidic sites in the catalyst using 2,6-lutidine as a probe molecule.

Site-Selective Acylations with Tailor-Made Catalysts.

Project description:The acylation of alcohols catalyzed by N,N-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) is, despite its widespread use, sometimes confronted with substrate-specific problems: For example, target compounds with multiple hydroxy groups may show insufficient selectivity for one hydroxyl, and the resulting product mixtures are hardly separable. Here we describe a concept that aims at tailor-made catalysts for the site-specific acylation. To this end, we introduce a catalyst library where each entry is constructed by connecting a variable and readily tuned peptide scaffold with a catalytically active unit based on DMAP. For selected examples, we demonstrate how library screening leads to the identification of optimized catalysts, and the substrates of interest can be converted with a markedly enhanced site-selectivity compared with only DMAP. Furthermore, substrate-optimized catalysts of this type can be used to selectively convert "their" substrate in the presence of structurally similar compounds, an important requisite for reactions with mixtures of substances.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Pharmaceutically Active ?-Aminobutyric Acids Using a Tailor-Made Artificial Michaelase in One-Pot Cascade Reactions.

Project description:Chiral ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogues represent abundantly prescribed drugs, which are broadly applied as anticonvulsants, as antidepressants, and for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Here we report a one-pot two-step biocatalytic cascade route for synthesis of the pharmaceutically relevant enantiomers of ?-nitrobutyric acids, starting from simple precursors (acetaldehyde and nitroalkenes), using a tailor-made highly enantioselective artificial "Michaelase" (4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase mutant L8Y/M45Y/F50A), an aldehyde dehydrogenase with a broad non-natural substrate scope, and a cofactor recycling system. We also report a three-step chemoenzymatic cascade route for the efficient chemical reduction of enzymatically prepared ?-nitrobutyric acids into GABA analogues in one pot, achieving high enantiopurity (e.r. up to 99:1) and high overall yields (up to 70%). This chemoenzymatic methodology offers a step-economic alternative route to important pharmaceutically active GABA analogues, and highlights the exciting opportunities available for combining chemocatalysts, natural enzymes, and designed artificial biocatalysts in multistep syntheses.

Zinc Finger Nucleases: Tailor-made for Gene Therapy.

Project description:Genome editing with the use of zinc finger nucleases has been successfully applied to variety of a eukaryotic cells. Furthermore, the proof of concept for this approach has been extended to diverse animal models from Drosophila to mice. Engineered zinc finger nucleases are able to target specifically and manipulate disease-causing genes through site-specific double strand DNA breaks followed by non-homologous end joining or homologous recombination mechanisms. Consequently, this technology has considerable flexibility that can result in either a gain or loss of function of the targeted gene. In addition to this flexibility, gene therapy by zinc finger nucleases may enable persistent long term gene modification without continuous transfection- a potential advantage over RNA interference or direct gene inhibitors. With systemic viral delivery systems, this gene-editing approach corrected the mutant factor IX in models of mouse hemophilia. Moreover, phase I clinical trials have been initiated with zinc finger nucleases in patients with glioblastoma and HIV. Thus, this emerging field has significant promise as a therapeutic strategy for human genetic diseases, infectious diseases and oncology. In this article, we will review recent advances and potential risks in zinc finger nuclease gene therapy.

Multicomponent Reactions: "Kinderleicht".

Project description:A demonstration experiment of the synthesis of a novel tetrazole derivative via a multicomponent reaction (Ugi tetrazole four component reaction, UT-4CR) bearing a luminol moiety and a subsequent exploitation of its chemiluminescent properties is described. A complex product is generated in just one simple step, so simple that children can do it: "kinderleicht", German for dead easy. Students are stimulated, inspired, and involved in a multilevel active learning process using the Steps to Inquiry framework as a metacognitive tool that raises student awareness regarding scientific process and prompts them to ask their own questions discussing the merits of a mechanism and evaluating its effectiveness before they start their own cycles of inquiry.

Tailor-made temperature-dependent thermal conductivity via interparticle constriction.

Project description:Managing heat is a major challenge to meet future demands for a sustainable use of our energy resources. This requires materials, which can be custom-designed to exhibit specific temperature-dependent thermal transport properties to become integrated into thermal switches, transistors, or diodes. Common crystalline and amorphous materials are not suitable, owing to their gradual changes of the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. We show how a second-order phase transition fully controls the temperature-dependent thermal transport properties of polymer materials. We demonstrate four major concepts based on a colloidal superstructure: (i) control of transition temperature, (ii) width of phase transition regime, (iii) multistep transitions, and (iv) step height of the transition. Most importantly, this unique control over thermal conductivity is only governed by the interparticle constriction, the particle composition, and its mesostructure. Our concept is therefore also applicable to a wide variety of other particulate materials.
