- Immobilization of (l)-valine and (l)-valinol on SBA-15 nanoporous silica and their application as chiral heterogeneous ligands in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric allylic oxidation of alkenes
-
SBA-15 nanoporous silica was synthesized by hydrothermal method using P123 surfactant and tetraethoxyortosilicate in acidic condition and then functionalized by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane. Next, by immobilization of chiral amino acid (S)-2-amino-3-methyl butanoic acid (l-valine) and chiral amino alcohol (S)-2-amino-3-methylbutane-1-ol (l-valinol), preparedviathe reduction ofl-valine by NaBH4/I2in THF, on functionalized-SBA-15, chiral heterogeneous ligands AL*-i-Pr-SBA-15 and AA*-i-Pr-SBA-15 were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, EDX, SEM, BET-BJH techniques. The asymmetric allylic oxidation of alkenes was done using copper-complexes of these ligands and the as-synthesized peresters. The reactions were optimized by varying various parameters such as temperature, solvent, amount of chiral heterogeneous ligand, as well as the type and amount of copper salt. Under optimized conditions, 6 mg of AL*-i-Pr-SBA-15 and 3.2 mol% of Cu(CH3CN)4PF6in acetonitrile at 50 °C, the chiral allylic ester was obtained with 80% yield and 39% enantiomeric excess in 24 h. The recyclability of the chiral heterogeneous catalysts was also evaluated without significant reduction in the reaction results up to three runs.

- Enantioselective Cascade Biocatalysis for Deracemization of Racemic β-Amino Alcohols to Enantiopure (S)-β-Amino Alcohols by Employing Cyclohexylamine Oxidase and ω-Transaminase
-
Optically active β-amino alcohols are very useful chiral intermediates frequently used in the preparation of pharmaceutically active substances. Here, a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase (ArCHAO) was identified from the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the R-stereoselective deamination activity of β-amino alcohol. ArCHAO was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21, purified and characterized. Substrate-specific analysis revealed that ArCHAO has high activity (4.15 to 6.34 U mg?1 protein) and excellent enantioselectivity toward the tested β-amino alcohols. By using purified ArCHAO, a wide range of racemic β-amino alcohols were resolved, (S)-β-amino alcohols were obtained in >99 % ee. Deracemization of racemic β-amino alcohols was conducted by ArCHAO-catalyzed enantioselective deamination and transaminase-catalyzed enantioselective amination to afford (S)-β-amino alcohols in excellent conversion (78–94 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 %). Preparative-scale deracemization was carried out with 50 mM (6.859 g L?1) racemic 2-amino-2-phenylethanol, (S)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol was obtained in 75 % isolated yield and >99 % ee.

- Copper(I) Phosphinooxazoline Complexes: Impact of the Ligand Substitution and Steric Demand on the Electrochemical and Photophysical Properties
-
A series of seven homoleptic CuI complexes based on hetero-bidentate P^N ligands was synthesized and comprehensively characterized. In order to study structure–property relationships, the type, size, number and configuration of substituents at the phosphinooxazoline (phox) ligands were systematically varied. To this end, a combination of X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, time-resolved emission spectroscopy, quenching experiments and cyclic voltammetry was used to assess the photophysical and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, time-dependent density functional theory calculations were applied to also analyze the excited state structures and characteristics. Surprisingly, a strong dependency on the chirality of the respective P^N ligand was found, whereas the specific kind and size of the different substituents has only a minor impact on the properties in solution. Most importantly, all complexes except C3 are photostable in solution and show fully reversible redox processes. Sacrificial reductants were applied to demonstrate a successful electron transfer upon light irradiation. These properties render this class of photosensitizers as potential candidates for solar energy conversion issues.

- CO2 Methanation via Amino Alcohol Relay Molecules Employing a Ruthenium Nanoparticle/Metal Organic Framework Catalyst
-
Methanation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is attractive within the context of a renewable energy refinery. Herein, we report an indirect methanation method that harnesses amino alcohols as relay molecules in combination with a catalyst comprising ruthenium nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on a Lewis acidic and robust metal–organic framework (MOF). The Ru NPs are well dispersed on the surface of the MOF crystals and have a narrow size distribution. The catalyst efficiently transforms amino alcohols to oxazolidinones (upon reaction with CO2) and then to methane (upon reaction with hydrogen), simultaneously regenerating the amino alcohol relay molecule. This protocol provides a sustainable, indirect way for CO2 methanation as the process can be repeated multiple times.

- A Spiroalkylation Method for the Stereoselective Construction of α-Quaternary Carbons and Its Application to the Total Synthesis of (R)-Puraquinonic Acid
-
Cyclic α-quaternary carbon stereocenters were prepared from biselectrophillic substrates and an easily prepared chiral bicyclic sulfonyl lactam. This was achieved in two steps by spiroalkylation, employing biphasic reaction conditions with a phase-transfer catalyst, followed by reduction and alkylation with a series of alkyl halide electrophiles. The products of this method were isolated in good yields with with high levels of diastereoselectivity. This methodology was employed in the enantioselective total synthesis of (R)-puraquinonic acid (1) for a late-stage installation of the α-quaternary carbon stereocenter. This enabled the shortest synthesis of 1 to date, an eight-pot sequence providing an overall yield of 14%.

- Synthesis and characterization of chiral ionic liquids based on quinine, L-proline and L-valine for enantiomeric recognition
-
The separation of enantiomers remains a major challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, eight chiral ionic liquids (CILs) directly derived from the ‘chiral pool’ were synthesized and characterized in order to develop enantioselective systems, for the chiral resolution. According to their chiral cations, three different groups of CILs were prepared, namely based on quinine, L-proline and L-valine, and their enantiomeric recognition ability evaluated. For that purpose the diastereomeric interactions between a racemic mixture of Mosher's acid sodium salt and each CIL were studied using 19F NMR spectroscopy. The remarkable chemical shift dispersion induced by some CILs demonstrates their potential application in chiral resolution. Additionally the optical rotation, thermophysical properties and ecotoxicity against the marine bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri of these chiral ionic liquids were addressed.

A highly diastereoselective desymmetrization of p-quinamines via regioselective ring opening of epoxides and aziridines under mild conditions has been developed. A chairlike six-membered transition state with minimized 1,3-diaxial interactions explains the relative stereoselectivity of the cyclization reaction. This transition-metal free [3 + 3] annulation reaction provides rapid access to fused bicyclic morpholines and piperazines with a tetrasubstituted carbon center in high yields. In addition, it also allows the synthesis of enantioenriched products by using easily accessible chiral nonracemic epoxides and aziridines.

- One-Pot Three-Step Consecutive Transformation of L-α-Amino Acids to (R)- and (S)-Vicinal 1,2-Diols via Combined Chemical and Biocatalytic Process
-
Optically pure vicinal 1,2-diols are versatile chiral building blocks in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. L-α-amino acid is a good feedstock source for high value-added product production since it is inexpensive and renewable. However, conversion of L-α-amino acids to enantioenriched vicinal 1,2-diols remains a significant challenge. In this study, combining a simple chemical process and a three-enzyme cascade biocatalysis system, we have successfully implemented a one-pot sequential process for the transformation of L-α-amino acids into enantiopure vicinal 1,2-diols in aqueous medium. Firstly, the NaBH4-H2SO4 system converted L-α-amino acids to (S)-amino alcohols via amino acid carboxyl reduction. Secondly, the three-enzyme (transaminase, carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase) cascade biocatalysis system converted amino alcohols to enantiopure vicinal 1,2-diols via amino alcohol deamination, α-hydroxy ketone asymmetric reduction and cofactor regeneration. Taking advantage of the two different reaction systems, chiral vicinal 1,2-diols could be obtained from L-α-amino acids with high yields (69–90 %) and excellent ee values (91–>99 % ee).

Chiral vicinal amino alcohols are an important motif found in many biologically active molecules. In this study, biocatalytic reductive amination of α-hydroxy ketones with ammonia was investigated using engineered amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) derived from the leucine amino acid dehydrogenase (AADH) from Lysinibacillus fusiformis. The AmDHs thus identified enabled the synthesis of (S)-configured vicinal amino alcohols from the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones in up to 99% conversions and >99% ee. One of the AmDH variants was used to prepare a key intermediate for the antituberculosis pharmaceutical ethambutol.

- Catalytic Mechanism Study on the 1,2- and 1,4-Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketimines and β-Enamino Esters Catalyzed by Axially Chiral Biscarboline-Based Alcohols
-
Axial N-O alcohols, which have two large carboline moieties connected to the axis were synthesized and used in catalytic enantioselective 1,2- and 1,4-transfer hydrogenations of total 26 ketimines and β-enamino esters. Excellent levels of enantioselectivity ranging from 91% to 99% were achieved by using catalyst (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide. Interestingly, a mixture of (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide and (aR)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide was also able to provide high enantioselectivities up to 95% that is the same as that using pure (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide. A plausible catalytic mechanism was suggested and total four kinds of transition states (TS) including almost 60 TS structures were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with different basis sets such as 6-311G(2d,p). The predicted activation energy data are consistent with the experimental results. (Figure presented.).

- Asymmetric Sulfinylations of N-Methylephedrine-Modified Tri- or Tetraalkyl Zincates by Symmetric Diaryl Sulfoxides
-
Diethylzinc was treated with 1 or 2 equiv. of AlkMgCl or PhMgBr (preferably) or with 1 equiv. of nBuLi (less efficiently) for forming species – plausibly zincates – which were sulfinylated by diaryl sulfoxides to give racemic alkyl aryl sulfoxides in yields reaching 100 %. Dialkylzinc reagents were also activated by treatments with 1 or 2 equiv. of an enantiomerically pure alkylmagnesium β-aminoalkoxide. This worked best when the alkoxide stemmed from a dialkylmagnesium reagent and an equimolar amount of N-methyl-(–)-ephedrine. This second activation mode allowed sulfinylations of what was originally the dialkylzinc reagent with diaryl sulfoxides. This generated alkyl aryl sulfoxides with enantiomeric ratios up to 93:7 in up to 100 % yield.

- Quantitative Profiling of Protein Carbonylations in Ferroptosis by an Aniline-Derived Probe
-
Ferroptosis is a regulated form of necrotic cell death implicated in carcinogenesis and neurodegeneration that is driven by phospholipid peroxidation. Lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs) generated during this process can covalently modify proteins ("carbonylation") and affect their functions. Here we report the development of a quantitative chemoproteomic method to profile carbonylations in ferroptosis by an aniline-derived probe. Using the method, we established a global portrait of protein carbonylations in ferroptosis with >400 endogenously modified proteins and for the first time, identified >20 residue sites with endogenous LDE modifications in ferroptotic cells. Specifically, we discovered and validated a novel cysteine site of modification on voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 2 (VDAC2) that might play an important role in sensitizing LDE signals and mediating ferroptosis. Our results will contribute to the understanding of ferroptotic signaling and pathogenesis and provide potential biomarkers for ferroptosis detection.

A total synthesis of the proposed structure of the natural macrolactone phomolide G (1) by a bidirectional strategy from L-tartaric acid is reported. The ω-terminus of the molecule was elaborated by nitrile extension, C3-alkylation and a substrate-controlled 1,3-ketone reduction. The α-terminus was extended by a C2aldehyde-to-alkenal homologation followed by an auxiliary controlled aldol reaction. Macrolactonization and deprotection yielded compound 1 (confirmed by X-ray analysis). This putative structure of phomolide G displayed discordant NMR spectroscopic data in comparison with those of the natural product. Detailed inspection of all NMR spectroscopic data available indicated phomolide G to be likely a diastereomer of 1. The synthetic strategy developed allows control of the absolute stereochemistry at all four chiral secondary alcohol groups. Further manipulation allowed for the preparation of diastereomer 33, the1H and13C NMR spectroscopic data of which are in full accord with that reported for the natural product.

- Design, Synthesis, Fungicidal Activity, and Unexpected Docking Model of the First Chiral Boscalid Analogues Containing Oxazolines
-
Chirality greatly influences the biological and pharmacological properties of a pesticide and will contribute to unnecessary environmental loading and undesired ecological impact. No structure and activity relationship (SAR) of enantiopure succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) was documented during the structure optimization of boscalids. On the basis of commercial SDHIs, oxazoline natural products, and versatile oxazoline ligands in organic synthesis, the first effort was devoted to explore the chiral SDHIs and the preliminary mechanism thereof. Fine-tuning furnished chiral nicotinamides 4ag as a more promising fungicidal candidate against Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with EC50 values of 0.58, 0.42, and 2.10 mg/L, respectively. In vivo bioassay and molecular docking were investigated to explore the potential in practical application and plausible novelty in action mechanism, respectively. The unexpected molecular docking model showed the different chiral effects on the binding site with the amino acid residues. This chiral nicotinamide also featured easy synthesis and cost-efficacy. It will provide a powerful complement to the commercial SDHI fungicides with the introduction of chirality.

The coordination chemistry of copper(II) complexes bearing pyridine-oxazoline ("Pyox") ligands has been studied, with an aim of investigating their catalytic ability. Interestingly, the stability of the coordinated ligands has been shown to be much less than previously assumed: hydrolysis of the ligands by fortuitous water gives rise to 2-pyridine carboxylate formation, which encapsulate the copper in a two-dimensional coordination polymer 3. The complexes [Cu(R-Pyox)(NCMe)2(ClO4)2] {R = benzyl (Bn) 2a, phenyl (Ph) 2b, isopropyl (iPr) 2c} have been prepared, of which the benzyl derivative has been analysed by CW EPR spectroscopy. The complex [Cu(Bn-Pyox)(NCMe)2(ClO4)2] and the afore-mentioned coordination polymer have been crystallographically characterised. The performance of complexes 2a-c in the asymmetric allylic oxidation of cyclohexene is described.

- Combining Low-Pressure CO2 Capture and Hydrogenation to Form Methanol
-
This paper describes a novel approach to CO2 hydrogenation, in which CO2 capture with aminoethanols at low pressure is coupled with hydrogenation of the captured product, oxazolidinone, directly to MeOH. In particular, (2-methylamino)ethanol or valinol captures CO2 at 1-3 bar in the presence of catalytic Cs2CO3 to give the corresponding oxazolidinones in up to 65-70 and 90-95% yields, respectively. Efficient hydrogenation of oxazolidinones was achieved using PNN pincer Ru catalysts to give the corresponding aminoethanol (up to 95-100% yield) and MeOH (up to 78-92% yield). We also have shown that both CO2 capture and oxazolidinone hydrogenation can be performed in the same reaction mixture using a simple protocol that avoids intermediate isolation or purification steps. For example, CO2 can be captured by valinol at 1 bar with Cs2CO3 catalyst followed by 4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone hydrogenation in the presence of a bipy-based pincer Ru catalyst to produce MeOH in 50% yield after two steps.

- Readily available ferrocenyl-phosphinite ligands for Ru(II)-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones and fabrication of hybrid heterojunctions

A variety of phosphinite based on ferrocenyl moiety possessing central chirality have been screened as ligands for ruthenium(II)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives using iso-PrOH as the hydrogen source to afford the corresponding product, (R) or (S)-1-phenylethanol derivatives with high conversions and good enantioselectivities. These complexes were also employed in the asymmetric reduction of different prochiral ketones (up to 85% ee). A comparison of the catalytic properties of amino alcohols and other analogs based on ferrocenyl backbone is also discussed briefly. The structures of these ligands and their corresponding complexes have been elucidated by a combination of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Furthermore, organic-inorganic hybrid heterojunctions were also fabricated by forming thin films of ruthenium(II) complexes on n-Si and evaporation of Au as front contact. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the structures showed excellent rectification properties. Electrical parameters including ideality factor, barrier height and series resistance were determined using I-V and capacitance-voltage (C-V) data. Finally, photoelectrical properties of the structures were examined by means of a solar simulator with AM1.5 global filter.

- Synthesis of salicylic acid-based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives coupled with chiral oxazolidinones: Novel hybrid heterocycles as antitumor agents
-
A series of novel salicylic acid-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives coupled with chiral oxazolidinones were synthesized to screen for their in vitro antitumor activity against five human cancer cell lines. Some of these compounds showed good antitumor activities with IC50values ranging from 31.19-57.21 μM. Among the tested compounds 11, 15, 19,23,24, and 34 showed broad-spectrum antitumor activity against all the cell lines. In particular, compound 19 revealed remarkable antitumor activity with IC50 = 31.19-41.87 μM. A431 was the most sensitive cell line against all the compounds studied, followed by HeLa, MCF-7, A549 and HepG2. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR,1 H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectral data

- Catalytic anions embedded into avidin: Importance of their chirality and the chiral environment on the stereocontrol of the aldol reaction
-
Several catalytic anions bearing a pseudo-dipeptide scaffold, in combination with a biotinylated imidazolium cation, were prepared. The assembly of these salts with avidin resulted in the formation of stable biohybrid catalysts, active in ionic liquid/aqueous media for the aldol reaction. By using natural and non-natural amino alcohols as "side chains" for the proline derivative anion, we studied the cooperativity between the anion and its position in avidin. Taking advantage of the large freedom of movement of the anion inside avidin, we also investigated the substrate scope of this type of biohybrid catalyst.

- New chiral 4-substituted 2-cyanoethyl-oxazolines: Synthesis and assessment of some biological activities
-
This paper describes the synthesis of new enantiomerically pure 2-cyanoethyl-oxazolines in one step starting from a wide range of amino alcohols and 4-ethoxy-4-iminobutanenitrile with high to good yields (73-96%) via an appropriate procedure which can be used for a selective synthesis of mono-oxazolines. A simple operation as well as a practical separation is additional eco-friendly attributes of this method. All the synthesized compounds were identified and characterized with their physicochemical features and their spectral data (1H NMR, 13C NMR and TOFMS ES+). Among the prepared mono-oxazolines, the mono-oxazoline (3a) [3-[(4S)-4-benzyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl] propanenitrile] was tested to detect some biological activities. This compound was studied in vitro given the various types of pharmacological properties characterizing these compounds such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and analgesic activities. The antioxidant activity and mechanism of (3a) were identified using various in vitro antioxidant assays including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), and superoxide anion radicals (O2-) scavenging activity. In addition, compared to Quercetin, the tested synthetic product reveals a relatively-strong antiradical activity towards the DPPH (activity percentage of 81.22%) free radicals and significantly decreased the reactive oxygen species such as (O2 -) formation evaluated by the non-enzymatic (nitroblue tetrazolium/riboflavine) and the enzymatic (xanthine/xanthine oxidase) systems. Related activity values were, respectively, 66% and 60.30%. The oxazoline (3a) showed a high ability to reduce the O2- generation and proved to be a very potent radical scavenger. On the other hand, the analgesic property of the 3[(4S)-benzyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl] propanenitrile (3a) was demonstrated. The subcutaneous administration of (3a) produced a significant reduction in the number of abdominal constrictions amounting to 73.81% in the acetic acid writhing test in mice. In addition to these advances, the oxazoline (3a) has been investigated as an antimicrobial agent. Our results showed that this molecule exhibited various levels of antibacterial effect against all the tested bacterial strains.

- Synthesis of iron P-N-P' and P-NH-P asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts
-
Complexes of the type mer,trans-[Fe(P-N-P)(CO)2Br]BF4 are known to be precatalysts for the asymmetric direct hydrogenation of ketones and imines. Employing related ligand scaffolds, we successfully generated and tested the series of three new precatalysts [Fe(PCy2CH2CH-NCH(R)CH2PPh2)(CO)2Br]BF4 with chirality derived from (S)-amino alcohols with phenyl, benzyl, and isopropyl substituents (R), yielding fairly active and selective systems. For the reduction of acetophenone to (S)-1-phenylethanol turnover frequencies up to 920 h-1 and up to 74% enantiomeric excess at 50 °C and 5-25 atm of H2 were obtained. We found, however, that placing these large groups R next to nitrogen was found to be deleterious to catalytic activity. Extending the scope of the ligand structure, we then developed a series of six P-N-P and five P-NH-P systems starting with o-diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and the phosphine-amines PPh2CHR1CHR2NH2 (R1 = H, Ph, CH2Ph, iPr with R2 = H or R1 = Me, Ph with R2 = Ph) as well as their corresponding [Fe(P-N-P)(NCMe)3][BF4]2 and [Fe(P-NH-P)(NCMe)3][BF4]2 complexes, which were not catalytically active. Finally, we made the new achiral iron complex mer,cis-Fe(PPh2(o-C6H4)CHNCH2CH2PPh2)(CO)Br2, which was active for the direct hydrogenation of acetophenone, achieving turnover frequencies of 800 h-1 at 50°C and 25 atm of H2.

- Tunable ferrocenyl-phosphinite ligands for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones
-
We report here new examples of enantiomerically pure monodendate phosphinite ligands containing both a ferrocene moiety and NH bridging moiety adjacent to the stereocenter, as well as their ruthenium(II) dichloro complexes. The phosphinites based on ferrocenyl moiety possessing stereogenic center have been screened as ligands for ruthenium(II)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones to give corresponding secondary alcohols using iso-PrOH as the hydrogen source in the presence of NaOH. Up to 99% conversion with 97% ee was obtained in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives. Furthermore, the catalytic properties of these catalysts based on ferrocenyl-phosphinite backbone are also discussed briefly. The structures of these ligand and their corresponding complexes have been elucidated by a combination of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

- Ionic liquid crystals derived from amino acids
-
Novel chiral amino acid derived ionic liquid crystals with amine and amide moieties as spacers between the imidazolium head group and the alkyl chain were synthesised. The key step in the synthesis utilised the relatively uncommon SO3 leaving group in a microwave-assisted reaction. The mesomorphic properties of the mesogens were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarising optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction. All liquid crystalline salts exhibit a smecticA mesophase geometry with strongly interdigitated bilayer structures. An increase of the steric bulk of the stereogenic centre hindered the formation of mesophases. In case of phenylalanine-derived derivatives a mesomorphic behaviour was observed for shorter alkyl chains as compared to other amino acid derivatives indicating an additional stabilising effect by the phenyl moiety. Ionic liquid crystals from amino acids: Novel chiral amino acid derived imidazolium salts with amine or amide units were prepared through the sulfamidate. Depending on the steric bulk of the R group, the chain lengths and the type of anion X, stable SmA phases were detected (see scheme; Bn=benzyl). Copyright

- Tetrahydroquinoline-derived macrocyclic toolbox: The discovery of antiangiogenesis agents in zebrafish assay
-
A novel approach to incorporate the macrocyclic rings onto the privileged substructure, i.e., tetrahydroquinoline scaffold, is developed. The presence of an amino acid-derived moiety in the macrocyclic skeleton provides an opportunity to modulate the nature of the chiral side chain. Further, evaluation in a zebrafish screen identified three active small molecules (2.5b, 3.2d, and 4.2) as antiangiogenesis agents at 2.5 μM.

- Building a macrocyclic toolbox from C-linked carbohydrates identifies antiangiogenesis agents from zebrafish assay
-
We report the synthesis of four different types of macrocyclic-derived glycohybrids from carbohydrates that have an amino acid moiety in the large-ring skeleton. These macrocyclic glycohybrids were obtained from α-C-1H- and β-C-1H-linked carbohydrates. In one series, we utilized ring-closing metathesis as the "stitching technology" to obtain two different macrocycles, i.e., trans equatorial-axial C-1H and C-5H and cis axial-axial C-1H and C-5H. The click approach was the key reaction in our second series to obtain two other macrocyclic compounds, i.e., trans equatorial-axial C-1H and C-5H and cis axial-axial C-1H and C-5H. The evaluation of this toolbox resulted in the identification of two unique compounds as antiangiogenesis agents in an embryonic zebrafish assay. Interestingly, in both cases, the macrocyclic compounds that have a cis relationship (i.e., axial-axial orientation) between C-1H and C-5H showed activity and their other diastereomers (i.e., equatorial-axial C-1H and C-5 H) with a trans relationship did not show any effect. The synthesis of four different types of macrocyclic glycohybrids that contain an amino acid moiety in the large-ring skeleton is reported. Ring-closing metathesis and click chemistry approaches were utilized to obtain two different series of macrocycles. The evaluation of this toolbox resulted in the identification of two unique compounds as antiangiogenesis agents in an embryonic zebrafish assay. Copyright

A series of new modular bifunctional chiral thiourea organocatalysts were synthesized from natural Cinchona alkaloids and amino acids, and their performance in the aza-Henry reaction of nitroalkanes to imines, the Michael addition of acetylacetone to nitroolefins and the Michael addition of acetone to nitroolefins was investigated. Under the mild conditions, the important building blocks β-nitro amines and γ-nitro carbonyl compounds could be obtained in good yields (up to 95%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivity (up to 17:1).

- Synthesis of imidacloprid derivatives with a chiral alkylated imidazolidine ring and evaluation of their insecticidal activity and affinity to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
-
A series of imidacloprid (IMI) derivatives with an alkylated imidazolidine ring were asymmetrically synthesized to evaluate their insecticidal activity against adult female housefly, Musca domestica, and affinity to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of the flies. The bulkier the alkyl group, the lower was the receptor affinity, but the derivatives methylated and ethylated at the R-5-position of the imidazolidine ring were equipotent to the unsubstituted compound. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis of the receptor affinity demonstrated that the introduction of a substituent into the imidazolidine ring was fundamentally disadvantageous, but the introduction of a substituent at the R-5-position was permissible in the case of its small size. The binding model of the synthesized derivatives with the receptor supported the QSAR analysis, indicating the existence of space for a short alkyl group around the R-5-position in the ligand-binding site. In addition, positive correlation was observed between the insecticidal activity and receptor affinity, suggesting that the receptor affinity was the primary factor in influencing the insecticidal activity even if the imidazolidine ring was modified.

- Two modes of asymmetric polymerization of phenylacetylenes having an L -amino alcohol residue and two hydroxy groups
-
Four novel chiral phenylacetylenes having an L-amino alcohol residue and two hydroxymethyl groups were synthesized and polymerized by an achiral catalyst ((nbd)Rh+[η6-(C6H5)B -(C6H5)3]) or a chiral catalytic system ([Rh(nbd)Cl]2/(S)- or (R)-phenylethylamine ((S)- or (R)-PEA)). The two resulting polymers having an L-valinol or L-phenylalaninol residue showed Cotton effects at wavelengths around 430 nm. This observation indicated that they had an excess of one-handed helical backbones. Positive and negative Cotton effects were observed only for the polymers having an L-valinol residue produced by using (R)- and (S)-PEA as a cocatalyst, respectively, although the monomer had the same chirality. Even when the achiral catalyst was used, the two resulting polymers having an L-valinol or L-phenylalaninol residue showed Cotton effects despite the long distance between the chiral groups and the main chain. We have found the first example of a new type of chiral monomer, that is, a chiral phenylacetylene monomer having an L-amino alcohol residue and two hydroxy groups that was suitable for both modes of asymmetric polymerization, that is, the helix-sense-selective polymerization (HSSP) with the chiral catalytic system and the asymmetric-induced polymerization (AIP) with the achiral catalyst. The other two monomers having L-alaninol and L-tyrosinol were found to be unsuitable to neither HSSP nor AIP because of their polymers' low solubility.

Four novel C2-symmetric enantiomerically pure, chiral pyridine-18-crown-6 type macrocycles containing lipophilic chains at the stereogenic centers were prepared. The enantioselectivity of the new ligands toward the enantiomers of d-,l-amino acid methyl ester derivatives were also determined by 1H NMR titration method. These novel macrocycles have been showed to be strong complexing agents for d- and l-amino acid methyl ester hydrochloride salts (with Kass up to 13590 M-1 and G 0 up to 23.3 kJ mol-1 and selectivity ratio: 80:20) by 1H NMR titration methods. These macrocyclic hosts exhibited enantioselective binding towards the d-enantiomer of valine methyl ester hydrochloride with Kd/Kl up to 5.08 in CDCl3 with 0.25% CD3OD.
