- Discovery of Arylsulfonamide Nav1.7 Inhibitors: IVIVC, MPO Methods, and Optimization of Selectivity Profile
-
The voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 continues to be a high-profile target for the treatment of various pain afflictions due to its strong human genetic validation. While isoform selective molecules have been discovered and advanced into the clinic, to date, this target has yet to bear fruit in the form of marketed therapeutics for the treatment of pain. Lead optimization efforts over the past decade have focused on selectivity over Nav1.5 due to its link to cardiac side effects as well as the translation of preclinical efficacy to man. Inhibition of Nav1.6 was recently reported to yield potential respiratory side effects preclinically, and this finding necessitated a modified target selectivity profile. Herein, we report the continued optimization of a novel series of arylsulfonamide Nav1.7 inhibitors to afford improved selectivity over Nav1.6 while maintaining rodent oral bioavailability through the use of a novel multiparameter optimization (MPO) paradigm. We also report in vitro-in vivo correlations from Nav1.7 electrophysiology protocols to preclinical models of efficacy to assist in projecting clinical doses. These efforts produced inhibitors such as compound 19 with potency against Nav1.7, selectivity over Nav1.5 and Nav1.6, and efficacy in behavioral models of pain in rodents as well as inhibition of rhesus olfactory response indicative of target modulation.

- Oxidative Deprotection of p-Methoxybenzyl Ethers via Metal-Free Photoredox Catalysis
-
An efficient and greener deprotection method for p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) ethers using a metal-free visible light photoredox catalyst and air and ammonium persulfate as the terminal oxidants is presented. Various functional groups and protecting groups were tolerated in the developed method to achieve good to excellent yields in short reaction times. Significantly, the developed method was compatible with PMB ethers derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols and a gram-scale reaction. Mechanistic studies support a proposed reaction mechanism that involves single electron oxidation of the PMB ether.

- Inexpensive multigram-scale synthesis of cyclic enamines and 3-N spirocyclopropyl systems
-
Cyclic enamines are important synthons for many synthetic and pharmacological targets. Here, we report an inexpensive, catalyst-free, multigram-scale synthesis for cyclic enamines with exocyclic double bonds and four- to seven-membered rings. This strategy is more conducive to scale up, permissive of functionalization around the cyclic system, and less sensitive to the nature of the N-protecting group than previously-described methods for cyclic enamine synthesis. Further, we explore application of these enamines to the synthesis of highly-strained spirocyclic 3N-cyclopropyl scaffolds.

- Stereocontrolled Total Synthesis of (?)-Stemaphylline
-
Homologation of readily available α-boryl pyrrolidines with metal carbenoids is especially challenging even when good leaving groups (Cl?) are employed. By performing a solvent switch from Et2O to CHCl3, efficient 1,2-metalate rearrangement of the intermediate boronate occurs with both halide and ester leaving groups. The methodology was used in the total synthesis of the Stemona alkaloid (?)-stemaphylline in just 11 steps (longest linear sequence), with high stereocontrol (>20:1 d.r.) and 11 % overall yield. The synthesis also features a late-stage lithiation–borylation reaction with a tertiary amine containing carbenoid.

- Encapsulation of a catalytic imidazolium salt into avidin: Towards the development of a biohybrid catalyst active in ionic liquids
-
Herein, we report the development of biohybrid catalysts that are capable of catalyzing the aldol reaction. The use of biotinylated imidazolium salts in combination with racemic or enantiomerically pure catalytic anions allowed us to study the adaptive and cooperative positioning of the anionic catalyst inside the protein. Supramolecular encapsulation of the biotinylated catalyst into avidin resulted in good selectivity for the aldol reaction performed in ionic liquid/water mixtures. Biohybrid catalysts capable of catalyzing the aldol reaction are prepared from avidin and biotinylated imidazolium salts with either racemic or enantiomerically pure catalytic anions. Supramolecular encapsulation (see figure) of the biotinylated catalyst in avidin resulted in good selectivities for the aldol reaction when performed in ionic liquid/water mixtures and the adaptive and cooperative positioning of the anionic catalyst inside the avidin protein is discussed.

- Enantioselective hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl carbamates, and allyl ethers using chiral diazaphospholane ligands
-
Rhodium complexes of diazaphospholane ligands catalyze the asymmetric hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl ethers, and allyl carbamates; products include 1,2- and 1,3-aminoaldehydes and 1,3-alkoxyaldehydes. Using glass pressure bottles, short reaction times (generally less than 6 h), and low catalyst loading (commonly 0.5 mol %), 20 substrates are successfully converted to chiral aldehydes with useful regioselectivity and high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Chiral Roche aldehyde is obtained with 97% ee from the hydroformylation of allyl silyl ethers. Commonly difficult substrates such as 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes undergo effective hydroformylation with 89-97% ee and complete conversion for six examples. Palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amination of allyl benzyl ether followed by enantioselective hydroformylation yields the β3-aminoaldehyde with 74% ee.

- Synthesis of 6- and 7-membered cyclic enaminones: Scope and mechanism
-
Six- and seven-membered cyclic enaminones can be prepared using common, environmentally benign reagents. Amino acids are used as synthetic precursors allowing diversification and the incorporation of chirality. The key reaction in this multistep process involves deprotection of Boc-amino ynones and subsequent treatment with methanolic K2CO3 to induce cyclization. A β-amino elimination side reaction was identified in a few labile substrates that led to either loss of stereochemical purity or degradation. This process can be mitigated in specific cases using mild deprotection conditions. NMR and deuterium-labeling experiments provided valuable insight into the workings and limitations of this reaction. Although disguised as a 6-endo-dig cyclization, the reagents employed in the transformation play a direct role in bond-making and bond-breaking, thus changing the mode of addition to a 6-endo-trig cyclization. This method can be used to construct an array of monocyclic and bicyclic scaffolds, many of which are found in well-known natural products (e.g., indolizidine, quinolizidine, and Stemona alkaloids).

- Investigations concerning the organolanthanide and group 3 metallocene-catalyzed cyclization-functionalization of nitrogen-containing dienes
-
Organolanthanide catalyzed cyclization-silylation of nitrogen-containing polyunsaturated systems allows access to core structures commonly found in naturally occurring alkaloids. Nitrogen-containing dienes with various substitution patterns were investigated. The method was most successful for substrates with terminal alkenes. Cyclization upon pendant 1,1-disubstituted olefins was not realized under various conditions. Interestingly, sterically hindered sulfonamides, which were previously believed to render the catalyst inactive, were actually compatible with the catalyst, thus affording the cyclized products after prolonged reaction times. Variations using fused ring systems were also investigated.

- 2-Oxopropanal, Hydroxy-2-propanone, and 1-Pyrroline - Important Intermediates in the Generation of the Roast-Smelling Food Flavor Compounds 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline and 2-Acetyltetrahydropyridine
-
On the basis of labeling experiments with [13C]6-glucose/unlabeled proline as well as quantitative data obtained in model studies using stable isotope dilution assays, 1-pyrroline and hydroxy-2-propanone were identified as effective intermediates in generating the roast-smelling food odorant 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine (ATHP; two tautomers). Synthesis of the key precursor compound, 2-(1-hydroxy-2-oxo-propyl)pyrrolidine, and studies on its degradation confirmed the important role of this intermediate in ATHP formation. Boiling of the intermediate for 30 min in aqueous solution generated >30% of ATHP on a molar basis. 1-Pyrroline and 2-oxopropanal were confirmed as important intermediates in the generation of the further roast food odorant, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (AP). On the basis of results of labeling experiments with [13C]6-glucose/unlabeled proline, two different mechanisms could be proposed. One leads to AP via 2-(1,2-dioxopropyl)pyrrolidine as the precursor with elimination of the aldehyde group in 2-oxopropanal as carbon dioxide. The other one suggests elimination of carbon-2 of the pyrroline ring. The latter mechanism was further established by a result showing that from the reaction of 2-methyl- 1-pyrroline with 2-oxopropanal AP was also generated.
