- Engineering an alcohol dehydrogenase with enhanced activity and stereoselectivity toward diaryl ketones: Reduction of steric hindrance and change of the stereocontrol element
-
Steric hindrance in the binding pocket of an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) has a great impact on its activity and stereoselectivity simultaneously. Due to the subtle structural difference between two bulky phenyl substituents, the asymmetric synthesis of diaryl alcohols by bioreduction of diaryl ketones is often hindered by the low activity and stereoselectivity of ADHs. To engineer an ADH with practical properties and to investigate the molecular mechanism behind the asymmetric biocatalysis of diaryl ketones, we engineered an ADH from Lactobacillus kefiri (LkADH) to asymmetrically catalyse the reduction of 4-chlorodiphenylketones (CPPK), which are not catalysed by the wild type (WT) enzyme. Mutants seq1-seq5 with gradually increased activity and stereoselectivity were obtained through iterative "shrinking mutagenesis." The final mutant seq5 (Y190P/I144V/L199V/E145C/M206F) demonstrated the highest activity and excellent stereoselectivity of >99% ee. Molecular simulation analyses revealed that mutations may enhance the activity by eliminating steric hindrance, inducing a more open binding loop and constructing more noncovalent interactions. The pro-R pose of CPPK with a halogen bond formed a pre-reaction conformation more easily than the pro-S pose, resulting in the high ee of (R)-CPPO in seq5. Moreover, different halogen bonds formed due to the different positions of chlorine substituents, resulting in opposite substrate binding orientation and stereoselectivity. Therefore, the stereoselectivity of seq5 was inverted toward ortho- rather than para-chlorine substituted ketones. These results indicate that the stereocontrol element of LkADH was changed to recognise diaryl ketones after steric hindrance was eliminated. This study provides novel insights into the role of steric hindrance and noncovalent bonds in the determination of the activity and stereoselectivity of enzymes, and presents an approach producing key intermediates of chiral drugs with practical potential.

- 4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP): Application as an Organic Reaction Solvent
-
4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP) is a hydrophobic cyclic ether with potential for industrial applications. We herein report, for the first time, a comprehensive study on the performance of 4-MeTHP as an organic reaction solvent. Its broad application to organic reactions includes radical, Grignard, Wittig, organometallic, halogen-metal exchange, reduction, oxidation, epoxidation, amidation, esterification, metathesis, and other miscellaneous organic reactions. This breadth suggests 4-MeTHP can serve as a substitute for conventional ethers and harmful halogenated solvents. However, 4-MeTHP was found incompatible with strong Lewis acids, and the C?O bond was readily cleaved by treatment with BBr3. Moreover, the radical-based degradation pathways of 4-MeTHP, THP and 2-MeTHF were elucidated on the basis of GC-MS analyses. The data reported herein is anticipated to be useful for a broad range of synthetic chemists, especially industrial process chemists, when selecting the reaction solvent with green chemistry perspectives.

-
Tryptophan (Trp) catabolizing enzymes play an important and complex role in the development of cancer. Significant evidence implicates them in a range of inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities. Whereas inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) have been reported and analyzed in the clinic, fewer inhibitors have been described for tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-2 (IDO2) which also have been implicated more recently in cancer, inflammation and immune control. Consequently the development of dual or pan inhibitors of these Trp catabolizing enzymes may represent a therapeutically important area of research. This is the first report to describe the development of dual and pan inhibitors of IDO1, TDO and IDO2.

These aspects are rare in earth-abundant metal catalyzed hydrogenations. The utility of the protocol have been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of key intermediates for chiral drugs. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that an outer-sphere mode of substrate–catalyst interactions probably dominates the catalysis.

- Substituent Position-Controlled Stereoselectivity in Enzymatic Reduction of Diaryl- and Aryl(heteroaryl)methanones
-
We report here the discovery of a novel ketoreductase (KRED), named KmCR2, with a broad substrate spectrum on bioreduction of sterically bulky diaryl- and aryl(heteroaryl)methanones. The position of the substituent on aromatic rings (meta versus para or ortho) was revealed to control the stereospecificity of KmCR2. The stereoselective preparation of both enantiomers of diaryl- or aryl(heteroaryl)methanols using strategically engineered substrates with a traceless directing group (bromo group) showcased the potential application of this substrate-controlled bioreduction reaction. The combined use of substrate engineering and protein engineering, was demonstrated to be a useful strategy in efficiently improving stereoselectivity or switching stereopreference of enzymatic processes.

The addition of phosphines to arynes form the phosphonium salts, which in the presence of a carbonate base generates the aryl anion equivalent.

The catalytic activities of these salts were tested in the arylation of aldehydes as catalysts that were generated in situ from [RhCl(COD)]2. In addition, 2a was converted to the rhodium complex 3a in order to compare the results obtained in situ.

The experimental results showed excellent performances for enantioseparation, and highlighted that enantioseparation on homochiral MOF columns is practical.

- Exploring the Reactivity of α-Lithiated Aryl Benzyl Ethers: Inhibition of the [1,2]-Wittig Rearrangement and the Mechanistic Proposal Revisited
-
By carefully controlling the reaction temperature, treatment of aryl benzyl ethers with tBuLi selectively leads to α-lithiation, generating stable organolithiums that can be directly trapped with a variety of selected electrophiles, before they can undergo the expected [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement. This rearrangement has been deeply studied, both experimentally and computationally, with aryl α-lithiated benzyl ethers bearing different substituents at the aryl ring. The obtained results support the competence of a concerted anionic intramolecular addition/elimination sequence and a radical dissociation/recombination sequence for explaining the tendency of migration for aryl groups. The more favored rearrangements are found for substrates with electron-poor aryl groups that favor the anionic pathway.

- From in vitro to in cellulo: Structure-activity relationship of (2-nitrophenyl)methanol derivatives as inhibitors of PqsD in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
-
Recent studies have shown that compounds based on a (2-nitrophenyl)methanol scaffold are promising inhibitors of PqsD, a key enzyme of signal molecule biosynthesis in the cell-to-cell communication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most promising molecule displayed anti-biofilm activity and a tight-binding mode of action. Herein, we report on the convenient synthesis and biochemical evaluation of a comprehensive series of (2-nitrophenyl)methanol derivatives. The in vitro potency of these inhibitors against recombinant PqsD as well as the effect of selected compounds on the production of the signal molecules HHQ and PQS in P. aeruginosa were examined. The gathered data allowed the establishment of a structure-activity relationship, which was used to design fluorescent inhibitors, and finally, led to the discovery of (2-nitrophenyl)methanol derivatives with improved in cellulo efficacy providing new perspectives towards the application of PqsD inhibitors as anti-infectives.

- Direct electrosynthesis of ketones from benzylic methylenes by electrooxidative C-H activation
-
Electrify your chemistry! Direct electrosynthesis of ketones from benzylic methylenes in an undivided cell was realized in moderate to good yields (see scheme). In this electrosynthesis, electrons instead of conventional oxidants and catalysts are employed to make the reaction environmentally benign. Moreover, the reaction intermediate radical was detected by ESR spectroscopy and the reaction mechanism was clarified.

- (N -Phosphinoamidinate)Iron pre-catalysts for the room temperature hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds with broad substrate scope at low loadings
-
The synthesis and structural characterization of three-coordinate iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes supported by new N-phosphinoamidinate ligands is reported, along with the successful application of these complexes as precatalysts for the challenging room-temperature hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds to afford alcohols upon workup. Under the rigorous screening conditions employed (0.015 mol % Fe) for the reduction of acetophenone, the well-defined iron(II) amido precatalyst 2b, featuring bulky N-2,6- diisopropylphenyl and di-tert-butylphosphino moieties within the N-phosphinoamidinate ligand, exhibited exceptional catalytic performance. Further experimentation revealed that the yield achieved in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone employing 2b was unaltered when conducting reactions in the absence of light, in the presence of excess mercury, or under solvent-free conditions. Notably, precatalyst 2b was found to exhibit the broadest substrate scope reported to date for such room-temperature iron-catalyzed carbonyl hydrosilylations en route to alcohols, enabling the chemoselective reduction of structurally diverse aldehydes and ketones, as well as for the first time esters, at remarkably low loadings (0.01-1.0 mol % Fe) and using only 1 equiv of phenylsilane reductant.

- A chiral ruthenium-monophosphine catalyst for asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to aryl aldehydes
-
A novel ruthenium catalyst on the basis of a chiral monophosphorus ligand is efficient for the asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to aryl aldehydes, providing a series of chiral diarylmethanols in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). Preliminary study has shown that this process is catalyzed by a Ru complex with a single monophosphorus ligand.

- CuII-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of diaryl- and aryl heteroaryl ketones: Application in the enantioselective synthesis of orphenadrine and neobenodine
-
With certain amounts of sodium tert-butoxide and tert-butanol as additives, catalytic amounts of an inexpensive and easy-to-handle copper source Cu(OAc)2·H2O, a commercially available and air-stable non-racemic dipyridylphosphine ligand, as well as the stoichiometric desirable hydride donor polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), formed a versatile in situ catalyst system for the enantioselective reduction of a broad spectrum of prochiral diaryl and aryl heteroarylketones in air, in high yields and with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96 %). In particular, the practical viability of this process was evinced by its successful applications in the asymmetric synthesis of optically enriched potent antihistaminic drugs orphenadrine and neobenodine.

- Asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones catalyzed by complexes formed from trans-diaminocyclohexane-based diamines and diethylzinc
-
Chiral acyclic and macrocyclic amines derived from trans-1,2- diaminocyclohexane in complexes with diethylzinc efficiently catalyze asymmetric hydrosilylation of aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl ketones with enantiomeric excess of the product up to 86 %. A trianglamine ligand with a cyclic structure or the presence of an additional coordinating group increases the enantioselectivity of the reaction, in comparison with catalysis by a simple acyclic N,N′-dibenzyl-1,2-diaminocyclohexane ligand. In addition, the effect of the asymmetric activation of the catalyst by a variety of alcohols and diols is studied.

- Synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal activities of bifonazole derivatives
-
Two series of chlorinated benzhydryl imidazole and triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested in vitro against representative strains of potent pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus CIP 4.83, Escherichia hirae CIP 5855, Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP 82118, Escherichia coli CIP 53126) and fungi (Aspergillus niger IP 1431.83, Candida albicans IP 48.72, Candida krusei IP 208.52, Trichophython rubrum IP 1657.86). Most of these compounds were devoid of any antimicrobial activity, but several of them inhibited T. rubrum with MIC values in the range of 0.125 to 32 μg/mL, similar or superior to those of bifonazole and clotrimazole, used as standard controls. The replacement of the imidazole ring with a triazole moiety in these compounds led to derivatives with less antifungal activity. A preliminary SAR was undertaken on the effect of the number and the position of chlorine atoms on the distribution of negative charge on the surface of some compounds on antifungal activity.

- Catalytic enantioselective aryl transfer to aldehydes using chiral 2,2'-bispyrrolidine-based salan ligands
-
Chiral C2-symmetric diamines have emerged as versatile auxiliaries or ligands in numerous asymmetric transformations. Chiral 2,2'-bispyrrolidine-based salan ligands were prepared and applied to the asymmetric aryl transfer to aldehydes with arylboronic acids as the source of transferable aryl groups. The corresponding diarylmethanols were obtained in high yields with moderate to good enantioselectivitives of up to 83% ee.

- Asymmetric additive-free aryl addition to aldehydes using perhydrobenzoxazines as ligands and boroxins as aryl source
-
A highly efficient enantioselective aryl addition to aldehydes using boroxins as aryl source and conformationally restricted perhydro-1,3- benzoxazines as ligands is reported. Both enantiomeric forms of chiral arylphenylmethanols and 1,1′-disubstituted diarylmethanols are afforded with excellent yields and enantioselectivities using the same ligand by means of an appropriate combination of boroxin and aromatic aldehyde. The enantiocontrol is not significantly influenced by electronic effects or steric hindrance, even with substituted boroxins. Very homogeneous ee's are reached when substituted arylboroxins are employed, without the use of any class of additive or pre-treatment.

Figure Presented Pump it up! The sluggish reactivity of organozinc reagents in additions to aldehydes, ketones, and CO2 can be increased by MgCl2, which is usually generated in the preparation of the zinc reagent. The direct reaction with CO2, in particular, opens an expeditious route to phenylacetic acid derivatives, as demonstrated in a short synthesis of ibuprofen (see scheme).
