Probing hyperconjugation experimentally with the conformational deuterium isotope effect
Greenway, Kyle T.,Bischoff, Anthony G.,Pinto, B. Mario
, p. 9221 - 9226,6 (2012)
Hyperconjugation underlies many chemical phenomena of fundamental and practical importance. Owing to a great deal of interest in the anomeric effect, anomeric-like hyperconjugative effects have been thoroughly investigated in oxygen-containing systems. However, such interactions in the second- and third-row chalcogens are less well-understood and have generated some controversy. Here, we show that the conformational deuterium isotope effect, in combination with Saunders isotopic perturbation method, permits sensitive and direct experimental probing of the conformational equilibria in dioxane, dithiane, and diselenane analogues by variable-temperature, dynamic NMR spectroscopy. We find that the magnitude of the conformational deuterium isotope effect is 252.1, 28.3, and 7.1 J/mol (±10%) for the oxygen, sulfur, and selenium analogues, respectively. These results reveal the periodic trend for hyperconjugation in the chalcogens, which reflect a decreasing n x→σC-H(D) interaction throughout the period, as supported by IR spectroscopy and in agreement with DFT calculations and a natural bond order analysis.

Purpose: A series of novel polycyclic aromatic compounds that augment the rate of glucose uptake in L6 myotubes and increase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from beta-cells were synthesized. Designing these molecules, we have aimed at the two main pathogenic mechanisms of T2D, deficient insulin secretion and diminished glucose clearance. The ultimate purpose of this work was to create a novel antidiabetic drug candidate with bi-functional mode of action. Methods: All presented compounds were synthesized, and characterized in house. INS-1E cells and L6 myoblasts were used for the experiments. The rate of glucose uptake, mechanism of action, level of insulin secretion and the druggability of the lead compound were studied. Results: The lead compound (6-(1,3-dithiepan-2-yl)-2-phenylchromane), dose- and time-dependently at the low μM range increased the rate of glucose uptake in L6 myotubes and insulin secretion in INS-1E cells. The compound exerted its effects through the activation of the LKB1 (Liver Kinase B1)-AMPK pathway. In vitro metabolic parameters of this lead compound exhibited good druggability. Conclusions: We anticipate that bi-functionality (increased rate of glucose uptake and augmented insulin secretion) will allow the lead compound to be a starting point for the development of a novel class of antidiabetic drugs.

Synthesis of C3- and C2-symmetric tris- and bis-sulfoxide ligands by asymmetric oxidation
Dornan, Peter K.,Leung, Priscilla L.,Dong, Vy M.
experimental part, p. 4378 - 4384 (2011/08/04)
A series of tris- and bis-sulfoxides were synthesized by multiple asymmetric oxidation of the corresponding sulfides. High enantioselectivities were obtained based on Horeau-type amplification of selectivity. Naphthyl-substituted sulfoxides allowed for higher selectivity and greater ease of purification. These sulfoxides were tested as ligands in rhodium-catalyzed olefin hydroacylation and 1,4-addition of phenyl boronic acid to 2-cyclohexen-1-one. While no enantioinduction was observed in hydroacylation, up to 80% ee was obtained for a tris-sulfoxide and a bis-sulfoxide ligand in the 1,4-addition. Bis-sulfoxides with flexible backbones gave lower and inversed enantioselectivity, suggesting backbone rigidity plays a key role in enantioinduction.

Enhanced nickel(II) chelation by gew-dimethyl-substituted macrocyclic tetrathioethers

The conformational and Ni(II)-binding properties of 1,4,8,11-tetrathiocyclotetradecane (1) and derivatives bearing gem-dimethyl pairs at the 6- or at the 6- and 13-positions (2 and 3, respectively) are compared. The syntheses and crystal structures of 2, 3, and their Ni(ClO4)2 complexes are reported; analogous data for I and its Ni(BF4)2 complex have been in the literature for some time. All three Ni(II) complexes show very similar 14-membered ring conformations, but the metal-free macrocycles display different conformations, in the solid state. These structural data suggest that each gem-dimethyl pair progressively biases the macrocycle toward the chelating conformation. We have examined the relative Ni(II) affinities of 1-3 in CD3NO2 by means of competition experiments monitored by 1H NMR. Tetrathioether 2 binds Ni(II) approximately 7.3 times more tightly than does 1 at room temperature, and 3 binds Ni(II) approximately 49 times more tightly than does 1. Thus, each gem-dimethyl pair leads to a 1.1 kcal/mol improvement in Ni(II) binding free energy under these conditions. We suggest that the incremental improvement in binding strength across the series 1-3 is correlated to the incremental changes in macrocycle conformation observed in the crystal structures of the metal-free thioethers.
