- N-Pyrazinoyl substituted amino acids as potential antimycobacterial agents-the synthesis and biological evaluation of enantiomers
-
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), each year causing millions of deaths. In this article, we present the synthesis and biological evaluations of new potential antimycobacterial compounds containing a fragment of the first-line antitubercular drug pyrazinamide (PZA), coupled with methyl or ethyl esters of selected amino acids. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated on a variety of (myco)bacterial strains, including Mtb H37Ra, M. smegmatis, M. aurum, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and fungal strains, including Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. Emphasis was placed on the comparison of enantiomer activities. None of the synthesized compounds showed any significant activity against fungal strains, and their antibacterial activities were also low, the best minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was 31.25 μM. However, several compounds presented high activity against Mtb. Overall, higher activity was seen in derivatives containing l-amino acids. Similarly, the activity seems tied to the more lipophilic compounds. The most active derivative contained phenylglycine moiety (PC-d/l-Pgl-Me, MIC 1.95 μg/mL). All active compounds possessed low cytotoxicity and good selectivity towards Mtb. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study comparing the activities of the d- and l-amino acid derivatives of pyrazinamide as potential antimycobacterial compounds.

- Exciton-Coupled Circular Dichroism Characterization of Monotopically Binding Guests in Host?Guest Complexes with a Bis(zinc porphyrin) Tweezer
-
A stiff-stilbene-linked bisporphyrin tweezer with inherent helicity was used for exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) characterization of a series of monotopically binding amine guest molecules. CD signals were observed for a variety of monoamines at relatively low tweezer/amine (host/guest) ratios between 1 : 10 to 1 : 70. For the amines producing the most intense CD signals, a binding stoichiometry of 1 : 2 was found. A likely explanation is the presence of guest-guest interactions in the complexes. This is supported by the correlation observed between CD signal intensity and magnitude of possible noncovalent binding between the guests, which can be divided into three groups showing no, moderate and strong response, respectively. Further support for this rationalization comes from molecular modelling.

- Method for preparing amino ether compounds
-
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis and relates to a method for preparing amino ether compounds. The method comprises the following steps: by taking amino alcohol as a raw material, protecting amino in the amino alcohol so as to obtain Schiff base; carrying out an etherification reaction on the hydroxyl group in the Schiff base; and finally, performing amino deprotection, thereby obtaining corresponding amino ethers. The method disclosed by the invention has high regio-selectivity, the substrates of higher than 99.9% are subjected to etherification reaction, the reaction conversion ratio of each step is higher than 99.8%, and the total yield is higher than 95%; when amino alcohol is chiral, the amino ethers with retention of configuration can be obtained; and moreover, each step of the method is a conventional operation, the process cost is low, and three wastes are few, the energy consumption is low, an environment-friendly effect is achieved, and large-scale industrial production is easily realized.

- In situ deprotection and incorporation of unnatural amino acids during cell-free protein synthesis
-
The S30 extract from E. coli BL21 Star (DE3) used for cell-free protein synthesis removes a wide range of α-amino acid protecting groups by cleaving α-carboxyl hydrazides; methyl, benzyl, tert-butyl, and adamantyl esters; tert-butyl and adamantyl carboxamides; α-amino form-, acet-, trifluoroacet-, and benzamides and sidechain hydrazides and esters. The free amino acids are produced and incorporated into a protein under standard conditions. This approach allows the deprotection of amino acids to be carried out in situ to avoid separate processing steps. The advantages of this approach are demonstrated by the efficient incorporation of the chemically intractable (S)-4-fluoroleucine, (S)-4,5- dehydroleucine, and (2S,3R)-4-chlorovaline into a protein through the direct use of their respective precursors, namely, (S)-4-fluoroleucine hydrazide, (S)-4,5-dehydroleucine hydrazide, and (2S,3R)-4-chlorovaline methyl ester. These results also show that the fluoroand dehydroleucine and the chlorovaline are incorporated into a protein by the normal biosynthetic machinery as substitutes for leucine and isoleucine, respectively.

- Asperelines A-F, peptaibols from the marine-derived fungus Trichoderma asperellum
-
Fermentation of the marine-derived fungus Trichoderma asperellum, collected from the sediment of the Antarctic Penguin Island, resulted in the isolation of six new peptaibols named asperelines A-F (1-6), which are characterized by an acetylated N-terminus and a C-terminus containing an uncommon prolinol residue. Structures were determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR (1H- 1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY) spectroscopic data analysis combined with ESIMS/MS fragmentation. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues possessing a chiral R-carbon and of the prolinol residue were determined to be L and S, respectively, using a new method of 1H NMR spectroscopic comparison of complexes formed between the chiral reagent Ru(D 4-Por*)CO and amino acids derived from the peptaibols with those formed with reference standards.

- Enantioselective benzoylation of α-amino esters using (S)-1-benzoyl-2-(α-acetoxyethyl)benzimidazole, a chiral benzimidazolide
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A new chiral benzimidazolide is developed as a nonenzymatic acylating agent for enantioselective benzoylation of racemic α-amino esters. The process is highly efficient, which exhibits uniformly high enantioselectivity for α-amino esters with or without aryl substituents under mild reaction conditions. The chiral benzimidazolide is inexpensive and is easily accessible.

- Enantiodiscrimination of racemic electrophiles by diketopiperazine enolates: asymmetric synthesis of methyl 2-amino-3-aryl-butanoates and 3-methyl-aspartates

Enolates of (S)-N,N′-bis-(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-iso-propylpiperazine-2,5-dione exhibit high levels of enantiodiscrimination in alkylations with (RS)-1-aryl-1-bromoethanes and (RS)-2-bromoesters, affording substituted diketopiperazines containing two new stereogenic centres in high de. Deprotection and hydrolysis of the resultant substituted diketopiperazines provides a route to the asymmetric synthesis of homochiral methyl 2-amino-3-aryl-butanoates and 3-methyl-aspartates in high de and ee.

- Kinetic resolution of amines with enantiopure 3-N,N-diacylaminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones
-
The title compounds (DAQs) are chiral when the two N-acyl groups are different because of the absence of rotation around the N-N bond (a chiral axis). Enantiopure DAQs have been obtained by incorporation of a chiral centre in enantiopure form either into the substituent at the Q2-position or into one of the N-acyl groups, or into both, followed by separation of diastereoisomers. This separation is unnecessary in one case because conversion of the N-monoacylaminoquinazolinone (MAQ) into the DAQ is completely diastereoselective. Neither is separation of diastereoisomers necessary with 3-[N,N-di-(S)-2-acetoxypropanoylamino]-2-diphenylmethylquinazolin-4(3H)-one 37a: this DAQ 37a has its N-N bond rendered a chiral axis by the bias in its imide moiety wholly in favour of one exo/endo conformation. The high chemoselectivity exhibited by N,N-diacetyl- or N,N-dibenzoylaminoquinazolinones in reaction with the less hindered of two secondary amines (pyrrolidine in the presence of 1 eq. of piperidine) has a stereoselective counterpart: reaction of the above enantiopure DAQs enantioselectively with racemic amines leading to kinetic resolution. Using 1 eq. of DAQ and 2 eq. of amine, both the derivatised and unreacted amine enantiomers are recovered with high enantiomeric excess (ee) (better than 90% ee in some cases). Some of the higher ees are found in the recovered amides where non-chemoselective attack on both N-acyl groups of the DAQ has occurred: from the opposite configurations of the amine component in the two amides and from the low enantiopurity of the recovered unreacted amine, reaction of each of the N-acyl groups with complementary enantiomers of the amine is occurring (parallel kinetic resolution). Although higher ees are, in general, obtained using secondary amines, high ees are obtained in some cases using 1-phenylethylamine and, in particular, amino acid esters (valine and alanine). The sense of enantioselectivity in the reactions of these DAQs with amines is controlled by the configuration of the N-N axis: replacing the Q group in an N-(S)-2-acetoxypropanoyl-N-acetyl-bearing DAQ by phthalimide, thus eliminating the N-N chiral axis, drastically reduces the level of kinetic resolution.

- Stereoselective synthesis of meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid and its selectively protected derivatives
-
Four synthetic routes to selectively protected derivatives and isomers of meso-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) (1a), a key constituent of bacterial peptidoglycan, were investigated. N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-D-allylglycine (2) and N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-allylglycine (4) were esterified to ethylene glycol and cyclized via olefin metathesis to a protected derivative 7 of 2,7- diaminosuberic acid. Analogous linking of propane-1,3-diol with 2 and potential precursors of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-vinylglycine moieties, such as N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-glutamate or N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-methionine sulfoxide, gave 12 or 15, both of which produced the α,β-unsaturated ester 14 upon attempted generation of the vinylglycine precursor for olefin metathesis to DAP derivatives. An alternative route, based on SnCl4- catalyzed ene reaction of methyl N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-allylglycinate (18) with glyoxylate esters of phenylcyclohexanol isomers as chiral auxiliaries, gave ca. 85:15 ratios of diastereomeric alcohols (19 or 20). These could be transformed to DAP derivatives in a series of steps employing azide displacement of corresponding mesylates to introduce the second nitrogen. A third method, involving reduction of pure dimethyl (6S)-2-keto-6-[N- (benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]pimelate (32) to the corresponding alcohol 33 with (S)-binaphthol-ruthenium catalyst as the key step, gives a 79:21 isomeric ratio. The fourth route employs the bis(oxazoline)-copper complex 41 as a chiral catalyst for the ene reaction of methyl (S)-4- (phenylthio)allylglycinate (39) and methyl glyoxylate to afford 42 and 94:6 isometric ratio. Nickel boride removal of sulfur and the double bond in the presence of the Cbz group gives the desired alcohol, dimethyl (2S,6S)-6-[N- (benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-2-hydroxyheptane-1,7-dioate (33). The required selectively protected second nitrogen is introduced using Mitsunobu inversion with N-tert-butyl [[2-(trimethylsilyl)-ethyl]sulfonyl]carbomate (34) as a key step.

[3-18O]-L-serine, [3-13C]-L-serine, [3-18O]-L-threonine, [3,4-13C2]-L-threonine and [3-2H]-L-threonine are prepared from simple commercially available, isotopically enriched starting materials like H218O, [13C] paraformaldehyde, [13C2]-acetaldehyde and (1-2H]-acetaldehyde. The introduction of the side chain is based on the reaction of the anion of the bislactimether of cyclo-(D-Val-Gly) with a suitable reagent. For serine this is isotopically labelled benzylchloromethylether, whereas for threonine labelled acetaldehyde is used in combination with chlorotitaniumtris[diethylamide], introducing both stereocentres in one single step. The isotopomers of serine and threonine are obtained on the gram scale in good yields and high enantiomeric and diasteriomeric excesses. New syntheses for [18O]-benzylalcohol and isotopically enriched benzylchloromethylether are reported. Following the presented synthetic scheme these amino acids can be labelled at any position or at any combination of positions.

- 68. Stereoselective Synthesis of (2S,6S)-2,6-Diaminoheptanedioic Acid and of Unsymmetrical Derivatives of meso-2,6-Diaminoheptanedioic Acid
-
Specific inhibition of enzymes of the diaminopimelate pathway (L-lysine biosynthesis) should, in principle, lead to selective antibacterial agents or herbicides.For this purpose, enantioselective syntheses were devised for (2S,6S)-2,6-diaminoheptanedioic acid (L,L-diaminopimelate, 1), (2R,6S)-2,6-diamino-2-methylhept-3-enedioic acid (10), (2R,6S)-2,6-diaminohept-3-enedioic acid (9),(2R,6S)-2,6-diamino-4-fluorohept-3-enedioic (42),and (2S,6S)-2,6-diamino-3-chloroheptanedioic acid (5).The Schoellkopf bislactim-ether methodology was applied to control the configuration of C(2) and C(6) of 1, C(2) of 10, as well as C(6) of 9 and 42.Semialdehyde derivatives of L-glutamate afforded C(6) of 10 and 5, while the (R)-configurated C(2) of 9 and 42 were derived from L-serine.For this purpose, the synthesis of the Garner aldehyde 32 has been improved.As chromatographic purifications and the low temperatures for the reduction of the carboxylic acid are eliminated, this valuable intermediate can now be prepared in bulk quantities.An enantio- and diastereoselective aldol addition of a glycine titanium-enolate was applied for the construction of 5(C(2) and C(3)).As all chiral building blocks and reagents used are available in both enantiomeric forms, these routes should also be suitable for the selective synthesis of the other stereoisomers of these bis(α-amino acids).

-
The lithiated bislactim ether 2a of cyclo(-L-Val-Ala-) reacts with acyl chlorides 3 highly diastereoselectively to yield the compounds 4 with (2S,5S)-configuration.With acetyl chloride (3a) the N-acetyl compound 7 is formed as a sideproduct.Alternatively, the compounds 4 can be obtained by oxidation of the carbinols 8.From 4a and b, the olefins 11a and b are obtained by Wittig reaction.These are precursors of methyl (R)-α-alkenyl alanine methyl esters of type 13. (R)-α-ethinyl alanine methyl ester 17 is obtainable from 4a and 4e via the intermediates 14 or 15 and16a.The lithiated bislactim ether 2c of cyclo(-L-Val-Gly-) reacts with benzoyl chloride (3b) to give the "bis adduct" 18.However, 6b is obtained from 2c and the benzamide 19, though as a 1:1 diastereomeric mixture.Presumably, 6b epimerizes via the enol 21a subsequently to its diastereoselective formation.

-
The lithiated bislactim ethers 5, 10, 12, and 23 were alkylated with a variety of alkylating agents 6 to give the alkylated bislactim ethers 7, 11, 13, and 24 with a high degree of asymmetric induction (up to 99percent).Upon hydrolysis these furnished the optically active amino acid methyl esters of type 8, 14, or 25.Some of these amino acid esters were further hydrolyzed to yield the amino acids.

- Process for recovering a dipeptide derivative
-
A process for recovering a dipeptide derivative comprises admixing an aqueous mixture of a solid dipeptide ester derivative of the formula STR1 wherein R1 is a lower alkyl group, R2 is a side chain group of an amino acid, n is 1 or 2, X is a benzyloxycarbonyl group which can have a nuclear substituent and Y is a hydrogen ion or an ammonium derivative ion of the formula STR2 wherein R3 is a side chain group of an amino acid and R4 is a lower alkyl group with an organic solvent capable of forming a binary phase system with water; said solvent being present in an amount effective to obtain the transfer of said peptide in the form of a solid from the aqueous phase to the organic solvent phase, settling the resulting admixture to form (1) an organic solvent phase containing in a solid state a substantial amount of dipeptide derivative of the formula STR3 wherein R1, R2, n and X are as defined above and Z is a hydrogen ion or an ammonium derivative ion of the formula STR4 wherein R3 and R4 are as defined above, and (2) an aqueous phase, separating the organic solvent phase from the aqueous phase, and recovering the dipeptide derivative from the organic solvent phase.

- ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESES VIA HETEROCYCLIC INTERMEDIATES-XXII; ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF α-ALKENYL GLYCINE METHYL ESTERS AND α-ALKENYL GLYCINES (β,γ-UNSATURATED AMINO ACIDS)
-
Enantioselective syntheses of α-alkenyl glycines of type 10 and of type 23 are described that provide these uncommon amino acids with predictable configuration and with ee-values of >95percent.Both approaches are based on the bislactim ether method developed by Schoellkopf et al.As for 10: The lithiated bis-lactim ether 6 of cyclo(L-val-gly) is reacted with 2alkanals 2 to give the addition products 7 with de>95percent.These on acid hydrolysis afford L-valinate 8 and the methyl (2R)-2-amino-4-(dimethyl t-butyl)silyl-3-hydroxyalkanoates 9 which are convertible into the (R)-α-alkenyl glycines of type 10.The scope of this synthesis is limited by the fact that the compounds 9 are thermolabile when disubstituted at C-4.As for 23: The lithiated bis-lactim ether 6 is reacted with thioketones 14 to give the addition products 15 with de>95percent.The S-methyl compounds 16 undergo elimination to give regioselectively the olefins 18 when treated with Raney-Ni.Alternatively, the olefins 18 are obtained from the sulfonium salts 24 by dimethyl sulfide elimination, although this route is less regiospecific.The compounds 18 are cleaved by dilute hydrochloric acid, liberating L-valinate 8 and (R)-α-alkenyl glycine methyl esters 21, which on further hydrolysis yield (R)-α-alkenyl glycines 23.This synthesis is limited only by the availability of thioketones 14.

- ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF NON-PROTEINOGENIC AMINO ACIDS VIA METALLATED BIS-LACTIM ETHERS OF 2,5-DIKETOPIPERAZINES
-
Bis-lactim ethers 1 of 2,5-diketopiperazines contain a chiral inducing center, an acidic CH-bond and two sites susceptible to hydrolysis.They react with BuLi to give Li compounds of type 4, 15, 29 or 32, which possess a prochiral C atom.They readily add electrophiles (such as alkylating agents or carbonyl compounds) with unusually high diastereoface differentiation.In many cases the d.e-value (d.e. = diastereomeric excess = asymmetric induction) of the adduct exceeds 95percent.On hydrolysis the adducts are cleaved liberating the chiral auxiliary (used to build up the bis-lactim ether 1) and the target molecules, the optically active amino acid methyl esters of type 8, 19, 25 or 36.The two amino acid esters are separable either by fractional distillation or (eventually after further hydrolysis to amino acids) by chromatography.Transition state models are discussed that could explain the exceptionally high asymmetric induction and the predictability of the induced configuration.
