- Fixation of carbon dioxide by oxalic amidinato magnesium complexes: Structures and reactions of trimetallic magnesium carbamato and related complexes
-
The reaction of oxalic amidines R1-N=C(NHR2)-C(NHR2)=N-R1 with CH3MgX followed by uptake of CO2 results in the formation of the trimeric carbamato complexes [R1-N=C(NR2-COO)-C(NR2-COO)-C(NR2COO)=N- R1]3Mg3(THF)6 (2a: R1 = R2 = Ph; 2b: R1 = R2 = p-tolyl) as the thermodynamically stable final products of the reaction. Their X-ray crystal structures show that the three metal centres are in a linear arrangement. The central magnesium ion is octahedrally surrounded by six O-donor atoms of the μ2-carbamato bridges, while both peripheral magnesium ions are facially coordinated by three O-donor atoms of the carbamato groups and three THF molecules. This coordination sphere can be considered as a structural model for the active centre in the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase enzyme. Compound 2a reacts with ZnCl2 or CoBr2, with CO2 elimination, to form dimeric complexes of the type [X2M(oxalamidinato)MX2][Mg(DMF)6] (M = Zn, Co; X = Cl, Br). X-ray crystal structure analyses show that the d-metals are tetrahedrally coordinated. The magnesium-bromide-containing intermediates in the formation of 2a and 2b are able to transfer CO2 to acetophenone, thus simulating the CO2 activation step in enzymatic biotin-dependent carboxylation reactions.

- CO2-Folded Single-Chain Nanoparticles as Recyclable, Improved Carboxylase Mimics
-
Emulating the function of natural carboxylases to convert CO2 under atmospheric condition is a great challenge. Herein we report a class of CO2-folded single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) that can function as recyclable, function-intensified carboxylase mimics. Lewis pair polymers containing bulky Lewis acidic and basic groups as the precursor, can bind CO2 to drive an intramolecular folding into SCNPs, in which CO2 as the folded nodes can form gas-bridged bonds. Such bridging linkages highly activate CO2, which endows the SCNPs with extraordinary catalytic ability that can not only catalyze CO2-insertion of C(sp3)-H for imitating the natural enzyme's function, it can also act on non-natural carboxylation pathways for C(sp2 and sp)-H substrates. The nanocatalysts are of highly catalytic efficiency and recyclability, and can work at room temperature and near ambient CO2 condition, inspiring a new approach to sustainable C1 utilization.

- Expanding the repertoire of nitrilases with broad substrate specificity and high substrate tolerance for biocatalytic applications
-
Enzymatic conversion of nitriles to carboxylic acids by nitrilases has gained significance in the green synthesis of several pharmaceutical precursors and fine chemicals. Although nitrilases from several sources have been characterized, there exists a scope for identifying broad spectrum nitrilases exhibiting higher substrate tolerance and better thermostability to develop industrially relevant biocatalytic processes. Through genome mining, we have identified nine novel nitrilase sequences from bacteria and evaluated their activity on a broad spectrum of 23 industrially relevant nitrile substrates. Nitrilases from Zobellia galactanivorans, Achromobacter insolitus and Cupriavidus necator were highly active on varying classes of nitriles and applied as whole cell biocatalysts in lab scale processes. Z. galactanivorans nitrilase could convert 4-cyanopyridine to achieve yields of 1.79 M isonicotinic acid within 3 h via fed-batch substrate addition. The nitrilase from A. insolitus could hydrolyze 630 mM iminodiacetonitrile at a fast rate, effecting 86 % conversion to iminodiacetic acid within 1 h. The arylaliphatic nitrilase from C. necator catalysed enantioselective hydrolysis of 740 mM mandelonitrile to (R)-mandelic acid in 4 h. Significantly high product yields suggest that these enzymes would be promising additions to the suite of nitrilases for upscale biocatalytic application.

- Synthesis of novel proxyphylline derivatives with dual Anti-Candida albicans and anticancer activity
-
Three out of 16 newly synthesized 1,3-dimethylxanthine derivatives (proxyphylline analogues) exhibited consistencies between antifungal and anticancer properties. Proxyphylline possessing 1-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)propan-2-yl (6) and polybrominated benzimidazole (41) or benzotriazole moiety (42) remained selectively cidal against Candida albicans (lg R ≥ 3 at conc. of 31, 36 and 20 μM, respectively) however not against normal mammalian Vero cell line in vitro (IC50 ≥ 280 μM) and Galleria mellonella in vivo. These compounds also displayed moderate antineoplastic activity against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell line (EC50 = 80 μM) and high against peripheral blood T lymphoblast (CCRF-CEM) (EC50 = 6.3–6.5 μM). In addition, 6 and 42 exerted: (1) dual activity against fungal adhesion and damage mature biofilm; (2) necrosis of planktonic cells due to loss of membrane function and of structural integrity; (3) biochemical (inhibition of sessile cell respiration) and morphological changes in cell wall polysaccharide contents. Therefore, leading proxyphylline derivatives can be employed to prevent cancer-associated biofilm Candida infections.

-
Herein, we present a novel [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of β-keto esters with nitrile oxides, which were generated in situ from copper carbene and tert-butyl nitrite. This three-component reaction provides new methodology for the direct synthesis of fully substituted isoxazole derivatives, featuring mild reaction conditions, readily accessible starting materials and simple operation. The experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that the reaction starts with the generation of the key intermediate nitrile oxides, followed by a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of β-keto esters to give the final isoxazole products.

-
An improved substrate scope for the mechanochemical electrophilic fluorination of dicarbonyls is reported. The applicable substrates have now been broadened to include liquid β-ketoesters. Key to this capability is the inclusion of a grinding auxiliary (NaCl) to improve mass transfer and prevent pasting or gumming of the reaction mixture. Notably, the use of a small amount of acetonitrile is critical to increasing the rate of reaction, ensuring complete consumption of starting materials during the short reaction times as well as improving the selectivity for the monofluorinated product in the mill.

- Switching Chemoselectivity: Using Mechanochemistry to Alter Reaction Kinetics
-
A reaction manifold has been discovered in which the chemoselectivity can be altered by switching between neat milling and liquid assisted grinding (LAG) with polar additives. After investigation of the reaction mechanism, it has been established that this switching in reaction pathway is due to the neat mechanochemical conditions exhibiting different kinetics for a key step in the transformation. This proof of concept study demonstrates that mechanochemistry can be used to trap the kinetic product of a reaction. It is envisaged that, if this concept can be successfully applied to other transformations, novel synthetic processes could be discovered and known reaction pathways perturbed or diverted.

-
The synthesis of bi- and tricyclic structures incorporating pyrrolidone rings is disclosed, starting from resonance-stabilized acetamides and cyclic α,β-unsaturated-γ-oxycarbonyl derivatives. This process involves an intermolecular Tsuji-Trost allylation/intramolecular nitrogen 1,4-addition sequence. Crucial for the success of this bis-nucleophile/bis-electrophile [3 + 2] annulation is its well-defined step chronology in combination with the total chemoselectivity of the former step. When the newly formed annulation product carries a properly located o-haloaryl moiety at the nitrogen substituent, a further intramolecular keto α-arylation can join the cascade, thereby forming two new cycles and three new bonds in the same synthetic operation.

Upon optimization, which features the first use of grinding auxiliary solids to enable effective synthetic extrusion, the difluorination reaction was successfully translated to the extruder, leading to a 100-fold improvement in Space Time Yield (STY); 29 kg m-3 day-1 in a mixer mill to 3395 kg m-3 day-1 in a twin screw extruder.

- Mannich-type Reactions of Cyclic Nitrones: Effective Methods for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Piperidine-containing Alkaloids
-
Even though there are dozens of biologically active 2-substituted and 2,6-disubstituted piperidines, only a limited number of approaches exist for their synthesis. Herein is described two Mannich-type additions to nitrones, one using β-ketoacids under catalyst-free conditions and another using methyl ketones in the presence of chiral thioureas, which can generate a broad array of such 2-substituted materials, as well as other ring variants, in the form of β-N-hydroxy-aminoketones. Both processes have broad scope, with the latter providing products with high enantioselectivity (up to 98 %). The combination of these methods, along with other critical steps, has enabled 8-step total syntheses of the 2,6-disubstituted piperidine alkaloids (?)-lobeline and (?)-sedinone.

- Characterization of a new nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 for a two-step one-pot synthesis of (S)-β-amino acids
-
A nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 (HpN) demonstrating excellent catalytic activity towards benzoylacetonitrile was identified from a nitrilase tool-box, which was developed previously in our laboratory for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid synthesis from o-chloromandelonitrile. The HpN was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified to homogeneity by nickel column affinity chromatography, and its biochemical properties were studied. The HpN was very stable at 30–40?°C, and highly active over a wide range of pH values (pH 6.0–10.0). In addition, the HpN could tolerate against several hydrophilic organic solvents. Steady-state kinetics indicated that HpN was highly active towards benzoylacetonitrile, giving a KM of 4.2?mM and a kcat of 170?s?1, the latter of which is ca. fivefold higher than the highest record reported so far. A cascade reaction for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-β-phenylalanine from benzoylacetonitrile was developed by coupling HpN with an ω-transaminase from Polaromonas sp. JS666 in toluene-water biphasic reaction system using β-alanine as an amino donor. Various (S)-β-amino acids could be produced from benzoylacetonitrile derivatives with moderate to high conversions (73–99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (> 99% ee). These results are significantly advantageous over previous studies, indicating a great potential of this cascade reaction for the practical synthesis of (S)-β-phenylalanine in the future.

- Concert along the Edge: Dynamics and the Nature of the Border between General and Specific Acid-Base Catalysis
-
Reactions that involve a combination of proton transfer and heavy-atom bonding changes are normally categorized by whether the proton transfer is occurring during the rate-limiting step, as in the distinction between general and specific acid-base catalysis. The experimental and computational study here of a β-ketoacid decarboxylation shows how the distinction between the two mechanisms breaks down near its border due to the differing time scales for proton versus heavy-atom motion. Isotope effects in the decarboxylation of benzoylacetic acid support a transition state in which the proton transfer is complete. In quasiclassical trajectories passing through this transition state, the new O-H bond after proton transfer undergoes several vibrations before heavy-atom motion completes the reaction. The bonding changes are thus temporally separated at a "dynamic intermediate" structure that acts equivalently to an ordinary intermediate in the trajectories, including the reversal of trajectories at the intermediate when the second "step" fails, but the structure is not an energy minimum. The results define a border between mechanisms where the usual energetic definition of intermediates is not meaningful.

- Method for activating and converting carbon dioxide
-
The invention relates to a method for activating and converting carbon dioxide. The method includes following steps: enabling secondary amine substances to react with terbium salt to obtain a terbium complex; feeding carbon dioxide into the terbium complex to obtain terbium carbamate; using terbium carbamate as a catalyst, and using ketone substances as raw materials for reaction under illumination to obtain carboxylic acid substances. The terbium complex having fluorescent effect is utilized as a catalyst for fixing and activating carbon dioxide. Terbium metal is similar to magnesium metal which belongs to a main group in chlorophyll and has high oxyphilic polarity, and the terbium metal and carbamate can form a complex. In addition, the photocatalyst having oxidation-reduction property can well simulate photosynthesis in nature, energy can be obtained in the subsequent photocatalysis process to generate carboxylation so as to obtain industrially-useful C-C bond product, so that carbon dioxide which is a C resource is utilized efficiently.

- Catalytic Promiscuity of Ancestral Esterases and Hydroxynitrile Lyases
-
Catalytic promiscuity is a useful, but accidental, enzyme property, so finding catalytically promiscuous enzymes in nature is inefficient. Some ancestral enzymes were branch points in the evolution of new enzymes and are hypothesized to have been promiscuous. To test the hypothesis that ancestral enzymes were more promiscuous than their modern descendants, we reconstructed ancestral enzymes at four branch points in the divergence hydroxynitrile lyases (HNL's) from esterases ~100 million years ago. Both enzyme types are α/β-hydrolase-fold enzymes and have the same catalytic triad, but differ in reaction type and mechanism. Esterases catalyze hydrolysis via an acyl enzyme intermediate, while lyases catalyze an elimination without an intermediate. Screening ancestral enzymes and their modern descendants with six esterase substrates and six lyase substrates found higher catalytic promiscuity among the ancestral enzymes (P 0.01). Ancestral esterases were more likely to catalyze a lyase reaction than modern esterases, and the ancestral HNL was more likely to catalyze ester hydrolysis than modern HNL's. One ancestral enzyme (HNL1) along the path from esterase to hydroxynitrile lyases was especially promiscuous and catalyzed both hydrolysis and lyase reactions with many substrates. A broader screen tested mechanistically related reactions that were not selected for by evolution: decarboxylation, Michael addition, γ-lactam hydrolysis and 1,5-diketone hydrolysis. The ancestral enzymes were more promiscuous than their modern descendants (P = 0.04). Thus, these reconstructed ancestral enzymes are catalytically promiscuous, but HNL1 is especially so.

- The synthesis of α-azidoesters and geminal triazides
-
Three simple methods for the synthesis of geminal triazides are described: Starting from 1) 3-oxocarboxylic acids, 2) iodomethyl ketones, or 3) terminal olefins, a range of triazidomethyl ketones can be constructed under mild oxidative reaction conditions by the use of IBX-SO3K, a sulfonylated derivative of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX), and NaN3 as an azide source. This is the first report of representatives of this novel class of triazide compounds: Despite their high nitrogen content, the geminal triazides are easy to handle, even when preparative-scale syntheses are performed. (Caution: These procedures still require protective measures!) The triazides are now broadly available for further studies regarding their properties and reactivity. Furthermore, we show how the method can be used to provide α-azidoesters, which are potential building blocks for amino acids. Either/or: Geminal triazides are rapidly constructed with broad scope by the use of oxocarboxylic acids, iodomethyl ketones, or terminal olefins as starting substrates in oxidative azidations with a mild derivative of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid and sodium azide. Along with this little-studied class of organic azides, α-azidoesters were also synthesized.

Further optimization was achieved by specific modifications derived from careful analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of the FXIa/11h complex.

- A stereoselective and practical synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketones from aldehydes
-
α,β-Unsaturated ketones can be prepared by reaction of differently substituted β-keto acids and aldehydes. The reaction is carried out under organocatalysis (β-alanine, 0.5 equiv.) and generates the enones with high E selectivity (>95%). This version of the Verley-Doebner modification of the Knoevenagel reaction is a practical alternative to the classic Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction without the formation of high molecular weight byproducts. The process makes use of simple reagents and can be applied to large-scale synthesis under conditions compatible with atom-economy principles. Differently substituted aliphatic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic α,β-unsaturated ketones can be prepared. An example of a hydroformylation/Verley-Doebner Knoevenagel telescoped process is also described. The conditions used in the Knoevenagel reaction to prepare conjugated esters under amino acid organocatalysis can be applied also for the synthesis of α,β unsaturatedketones. β-Keto acids are prepared byhydrogenolysis of the corresponding benzyl ester and react easily with aldehydes to give the α,β-unsaturated ketones without formation of high molecular weight byproducts.

- Scope and mechanism of enantioselective michael additions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroalkenes catalyzed by nickel(II)-diamine complexes
-
Readily prepared Ni(II)-bis[(R,R)-N,N′-dibenzylcyclohexane-1,2- diamine]Br2 was shown to catalyze the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroalkenes at room temperature in good yields with high enantioselectivities. The two diamine ligands in this system each play a distinct role: one serves as a chiral ligand to provide stereoinduction in the addition step while the other functions as a base for substrate enolization. Ligand modification within the catalyst was also investigated to facilitate the reaction of aliphatic nitroalkenes, 1,3-diketones, and β-ketoacids. Ni(II)-bis[(R,R)-N,N′-di-p-bromo-benzylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine]Br 2 was found to be an effective catalyst in these instances. Furthermore, monodiamine complex, Ni(II)-[(R,R)-N,N′-dibenzylcyclohexane- 1,2-diamine]Br2, catalyzed the addition reaction in the presence of water. The proposed model for stereochemical induction is shown to be consistent with X-ray structure analysis.

-
The synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones using a mandelic acid dioxolanone as a synthetic equivalent (Umpolung) of the benzoyl carbanion is reported. The methodology involves alkylation of the mandelic acid dioxolanone, hydrolysis of the dioxolanone moiety in the alkylated products and oxidative decarboxylation of the resulting α-hydroxyacids. The last step is carried out in a catalytic aerobic way using a Co (III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde under very mild conditions.

- Carboxylation of acetophenone with zinc(II) alkoxides/CO2 systems: A mechanistic study
-
The crystal structures of the homoleptic dimer zinc(II) 2,6-di- tert- butylphenoxide (1b) and of the corresponding monomer 1b/(DMSO)2 are presented. The structural motif of 1b is a Zn-O-Zn-O four-membered ring. The bulky phenoxide ligands led to a coordination number of only three for the zinc atom. Monomer 1b/(DMSO)2 crystallized as a four-coordinated monomer with a highly distorted tetrahedral geometry around the zinc center. 13C NMR investigations reveal details for the reaction of CO2 with a series of alkoxide zinc(II)/solvent systems [2,6-dimethylphenoxide zinc(II) (1a), zinc(II) 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide (1b), zinc(II) 2,6-diphenylphenoxide (1c), zinc(II) 4-tert-butylphenoxide (1d), and zinc(II) 2-pyrid-ylcarbinolato (2)]. The interpretation of the 13C NMR signals agree with ab initio calculations of a model zinc(II) phenoxide/CO2 system. Experimentally, the carboxylation of acetophenone as a representative for CH-acidic substrates was carried out with specific zinc(II) phenoxide/CO2 systems. The reactions resulted in yields of ca. 40% of benzoyl acetic acid. The role of the soluble zinc(II) phenylcarbonate intermediate is discussed with respect to the subsequent CO2 transfer reaction.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of the 1,5-diarylpyrazole class of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors: Identification of 4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)- 3(trifluoromethyl)-1h-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide (sc-58635, celecoxib)
-
A series of sulfonamide-containing 1,5-diarylpyrazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their ability to block cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in vitro and in vivo. Extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) work was carried out within this series, and a number of potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2 were identified. Since an early structural lead (1f, SC- 236) exhibited an unacceptably long plasma half-life, a number of pyrazole analogs containing potential metabolic sites were evaluated further in vivo in an effort to identify compounds with acceptable pharmacokinetic profiles. This work led to the identification of 1i (4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3- (trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-y1]benzenesulfonamide, SC-58635, celecoxib), which is currently in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

- Carboxylation of Active Methylene Compounds Using Anilide, Potassium Carbonate, and Carbon Dioxide
-
Active methylene compounds were effectively carboxylated with carbon dioxide in the presence of anilide (acetanilide or formanilide) and potassium carbonate at 20-40 deg C for 0.5-10 h.In the carboxylation of fluorene, a high yield (48percent) was obtained at 20 deg C for 4 h.The yield of carboxylic acid using 2,6-dimethylacetanilide was 8.9percent, and smaller than 26.6percent when using acetanilide at 20 deg C for 2 h, indicating the interference of a methyl group for the carboxylation.
