Asymmetric Total Synthesis of the Naturally Occurring Antibiotic Anthracimycin
Brimble, Margaret A.,Davison, Emma K.,Freeman, Jared L.,Furkert, Daniel P.,Wuest, William M.,Zhang, Wanli
, (2020)
The first total synthesis of the potent antibiotic anthracimycin was achieved in 20 steps. The synthesis features an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to forge the trans-decalin moiety, and an unprecedented aldol reaction using a complex β-ketoester to provide the tricarbonyl motif. A Stork-Zhao olefination and Grubbs ring closing metathesis delivered the E/Z-diene and forged the macrocycle. The C2 configuration was set with a base-mediated epimerization, providing access to (-)-anthracimycin.
Essential role of the donor acyl carrier protein in stereoselective chain translocation to a fully reducing module of the nanchangmycin polyketide synthase

Incubation of recombinant module 2 of the polyether nanchangmycin synthase (NANS), carrying an appended thioesterase domain, with the ACP-bound substrate (2RS)-2-methyl-3-ketobutyryl-NANS-ACP1 (2-ACP1) and methylmalonyl-CoA in the presence of NADPH gave diastereomerically pure (2S,4R)-2,4-dimethyl-5- ketohexanoic acid (4a). These results contrast with the previously reported weak discrimination by NANS module 2+TE between the enantiomers of the corresponding N-acetylcysteamine-conjugated substrate analogue (±)-2-methyl-3- ketobutyryl-SNAC (2-SNAC), which resulted in formation of a 5:3 mixture of 4a and its (2S,4S)-diastereomer 4b. Incubation of NANS module 2+TE with 2-ACP1 in the absence of NADPH gave unreduced 3,5,6-trimethyl-4-hydroxypyrone (3) with a kcat of 4.4 ± 0.9 min-1 and a kcat/ Km of 67 min-1 mM-1, corresponding to a ～2300-fold increase compared to the kcat/Km for the diffusive substrate 2-SNAC. Covalent tethering of the 2-methyl-3-ketobutyryl thioester substrate to the NANS ACP1 domain derived from the natural upstream PKS module of the nanchangmycin synthase significantly enhanced both the stereospecificity and the kinetic efficiency of the sequential polyketide chain translocation and condensation reactions catalyzed by the ketosynthase domain of NANS module 2.

Discovery and Engineering of Pathways for Production of α-Branched Organic Acids
Blaisse, Michael R.,Dong, Hongjun,Fu, Beverly,Chang, Michelle C. Y.

Cell-based synthesis offers many opportunities for preparing small molecules from simple renewable carbon sources by telescoping multiple reactions into a single fermentation step. One challenge in this area is the development of enzymatic carbon-carbon bond forming cycles that enable a modular disconnection of a target structure into cellular building blocks. In this regard, synthetic pathways based on thiolase enzymes to catalyze the initial carbon-carbon bond forming step between acyl coenzyme A (CoA) substrates offer a versatile route for biological synthesis, but the substrate diversity of such pathways is currently limited. In this report, we describe the identification and biochemical characterization of a thiolase-ketoreductase pair involved in production of branched acids in the roundworm, Ascaris suum, that demonstrates selectivity for forming products with an α-methyl branch using a propionyl-CoA extender unit. Engineering synthetic pathways for production of α-methyl acids in Escherichia coli using these enzymes allows the construction of microbial strains that produce either chiral 2-methyl-3-hydroxy acids (1.1 ± 0.2 g L-1) or branched enoic acids (1.12 ± 0.06 g L-1) in the presence of a dehydratase at 44% and 87% yield of fed propionate, respectively. In vitro characterization along with in vivo analysis indicates that the ketoreductase is the key driver for selectivity, forming predominantly α-branched products even when paired with a thiolase that highly prefers unbranched linear products. Our results expand the utility of thiolase-based pathways and provide biosynthetic access to α-branched compounds as precursors for polymers and other chemicals.
Substrate range of the titanium TADDOLate catalyzed asymmetric fluorination of activated carbonyl compounds
Bertogg, Andreas,Hintermann, Lukas,Huber, Dominique P.,Perseghini, Mauro,Sanna, Maria,Togni, Antonio
scheme or table, p. 353 - 403 (2012/05/07)
The substrate range of the [TiCl2(TADDOLate)] (TADDOL=α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4, 5-dimethanol)-catalyzed asymmetric α-fluorination of activated β-carbonyl compounds has been investigated. Optimal conditions for catalysis are characterized by using 5 mol-% of TiCl2(naphthalen-1- yl)-TADDOLate) as catalyst in a saturated (0.14 mol/l) MeCN solution of F-TEDA (1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis- [tetrafluoroborate]) at room temperature. A series of α-methylated β-keto esters (3-oxobutanoates, 3-oxopentanoates) with bulky benzyl ester groups (60-90% ee) or phenyl ester (67-88% ee) have been fluorinated readily, whereas α-acyl lactones were also readily fluorinated, but gave lower inductions (13-46% ee). Double stereochemical differentiation in β-keto esters with chiral ester groups raised the stereoselectivity to a diastereomeric ratio (dr) of up to 96.5:3.5. For the first time, β-keto S-thioesters were asymmetrically fluorinated (62-91.5% ee) and chlorinated (83% ee). Lower inductions were observed in fluorinations of 1,3-diketones (up to 40% ee) and β-keto amides (up to 59% ee). General strategies for preparing activated β-carbonyl compounds as important model substrates for asymmetric catalytic α-functionalizations are presented (>60 examples). Copyright

experimental part, p. 1758 - 1770 (2010/10/18)
The synthesis of chiral pyrrolidinones derived from threonine, making use of a Dieckmann or aldol ring closure, is described. Compounds were found to exhibit antibacterial activity, for which the correlation with various physiochemical parameters was examined. This chiral tetramate scaffold may provide a useful template for fragment-based drug design providing rapid access to novel antibacterial compound libraries.
