- Merging Halogen-Atom Transfer (XAT) and Cobalt Catalysis to Override E2-Selectivity in the Elimination of Alkyl Halides: A Mild Route towardcontra-Thermodynamic Olefins
-
We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

- A Scalable Membrane Pervaporation Approach for Continuous Flow Olefin Metathesis
-
The translation of olefin metathesis reactions from the laboratory to process scale has been challenging with traditional batch techniques. In this contribution, we describe a continuous membrane reactor design that selectively permeates the ethylene byproduct from metathetical processes, thereby overcoming the mass-transport limitations that have negatively influenced the efficiency of this transformation in batch vessels. The membrane sheet-in-frame pervaporation module yielded turnover numbers of >7500 in the case of diethyl diallylmalonate ring-closing metathesis. The preparation of more challenging, low-effective-molarity substrates, a cyclooctene and a 14-membered macrocyclic lactone, was also effective. A comparison of optimal membrane reactor conditions to a sealed tubular reactor revealed that the benefits of ethylene removal are most apparent at low reaction concentrations.

Olefin metathesis (OM) is a reliable and practical synthetic methodology for challenging carbon-carbon bond formations. While existing catalysts can effect many of these transformations, the synthesis and development of new catalysts is essential to increase the application breadth of OM and to achieve improved catalyst activity. The unexpected initial discovery of a novel olefin metathesis catalyst derived from synthetic efforts toward the HCV therapeutic agent grazoprevir (MK-5172) is described. This initial finding has evolved into a class of tunable, shelf-stable ruthenium OM catalysts that are easily prepared and exhibit unique catalytic activity.

The first enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolution of tert-butyl-3-hydroxy-4- phenylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate is presented. Enzyme, solvent and temperature optimization resulted in a new resolution method with E = 40 enantioselectivity. The acetate derivative of the (+)-(3S,4R) enantiomer formed while the (-)-(3R,4S) isomer remained intact. Very good enantioselectivities (E > 200) were achieved in the enzyme-catalyzed alcoholysis of the racemic acetate in i-propanol and t-butanol where the (+)-(3S,4R) enantiomer was prepared in pure form (ee > 99.7%). Absolute configuration of the (-)-(3R,4S)-enantiomer was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- A broadly applicable and practical oligomeric (salen)Co catalyst for enantioselective epoxide ring-opening reactions
-
The (salen)Co catalyst (4a) can be prepared as a mixture of cyclic oligomers in a short, chromatography-free synthesis from inexpensive, commercially available precursors. This catalyst displays remarkable enhancements in reactivity and enantioselectivity relative to monomeric and other multimeric (salen)Co catalysts in a wide variety of enantioselective epoxide ring-opening reactions. The application of catalyst 4a is illustrated in the kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides by nucleophilic ring-opening with water, phenols, and primary alcohols; the desymmetrization of meso epoxides by addition of water and carbamates; and the desymmetrization of oxetanes by intramolecular ring opening with alcohols and phenols. The favorable solubility properties of complex 4a under the catalytic conditions facilitated mechanistic studies, allowing elucidation of the basis for the beneficial effect of oligomerization. Finally, a catalyst selection guide is provided to delineate the specific advantages of oligomeric catalyst 4a relative to (salen)Co monomer 1 for each reaction class.

The invention is directed to ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts of the Grubbs-Hoveyda type. The new 2-aryloxy-substituted ruthenium catalysts described herein reveal rapid initiation behavior. Further, the corresponding styrene-based precursor compounds are disclosed. The catalysts are prepared in a cross-metathesis reaction starting from styrene-based precursors which can be prepared in a cost- effective manner. The new Grubbs-Hoveyda type catalysts are suitable to catalyze ring- closing metathesis (RCM), cross metathesis (CM) and ring- opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Low catalyst loadings are necessary to convert a wide range of substrates including more complex and critical substrates via metathesis reactions at low to moderate temperatures in high yields within short reaction times.

- USE OF SOLUBLE METAL SALTS IN METATHESIS REACTIONS
-
The present invention describes the use of soluble metal salts to reduce impurities and metathesis catalysts poisons from olefinic feedstocks to improve olefin metathesis efficiency. The soluble metal salts were added to the olefinic feedstocks to prevent peroxides and catalyst poisons from inhibiting the metathesis catalyst. The soluble metal salts remain in the olefinic feedstocks and are used without further purification in the olefin metathesis reactions. The key to this invention is the soluble metal salt compounds do not inhibit the olefin metathesis catalysts but unexpectedly increase olefin metathesis catalyst efficiency while prior art heterogeneous metal complexes sequester the olefin metathesis catalyst, preventing olefin metathesis.

- Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors based on the 3-mercaptopyrrolidine core
-
New series of pyrrolidine mercaptosulfide, 2-mercaptocyclopentane arylsulfonamide, and 3-mercapto-4-arylsulfonamidopyrrolidine matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Exhibiting unique properties over other MMPIs (e.g., hydroxamates), these newly reported compounds are capable of modulating activities of several MMPs in the low nanomolar range, including MMP-2 (~2 to 50 nM), MMP-13 (~2 to 50 nM), and MMP-14 (~4 to 60 nM). Additionally these compounds are selective to intermediate- and deep-pocket MMPs but not shallow-pocketed MMPs (e.g., MMP-1, ~850 to >50 000 nM; MMP-7, ~4000 to >25 000 nM). Our previous work with the mercaptosulfide functionality attached to both cyclopentane and pyrrolidine frameworks demonstrated that the cis-(3S,4R)-stereochemistry was optimal for all of the MMPs tested. However, in our newest compounds an interesting shift of preference to the trans form of the mercaptosulfonamides was observed with increased oxidative stability and biological compatibility. We also report several kinetic and biological characteristics showing that these compounds may be used to probe the mechanistic activities of MMPs in disease.

The lower steric bulk and the decreased donation of the diaryl ether oxygen atoms in complexes 5 and 6 led to rapidly initiating precatalysts. The Ru(II/III) redox potentials of complexes 6 were determined (6a-d: ΔE=0.89-1.08 V). In the crystal structure of 5b two independent molecules were observed in the unit cell, displaying Ru-O distances of 226.6(4) and 230.5(3) pm. The catalytic performance of complexes 5 and 6 in various ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions was studied. Catalyst loadings of between 15-200 ppm are sufficient for the formation of >90% yield of the respective cyclic products. Complex 6b catalyzes the formation of N-protected 2,5-dihydropyrroles with up to TON 64,000 and TOF 256,000 h-1, of the N-protected 1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridines with up to TON 18,200 and TOF 73,000 h-1 and of the N-protected 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroazepines with up to TON 8,100 and TOF 32,000 h-1 with yields ranging between 77 and 96%.

Compared to their respective, conventional, O-Grubbs-Hoveyda complexes, the new complexes are characterized by fast catalyst activation, which translates into fast and efficient ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactivity. Catalyst loadings of 15-150 ppm (0.0015-0.015 mol %) are sufficient for the conversion of a wide range of diolefinic substrates into the respective RCM products after 15 min at 50 °C in toluene; compounds 8 and 9 are the most catalytically active complexes. The use of complex 8 in RCM reactions enables the formation of N-protected 2,5-dihydropyrroles with turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 58 000 and turnover frequencies (TOFs) of up to 232 000 h-1; the use of the N-protected 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines proceeds with TONs of up to 37 000 and TOFs of up to 147 000 h-1; and the use of the N-protected 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroazepines proceeds with TONs of up to 19 000 and TOFs of up to 76 000 h-1, with yields for these reactions ranging from 83-92 %. The tortoise and the hare: The use of diphenylalkylamino-based instead of phenyldialkylamino-based styrenes (see figure) leads to rapidly initiating precatalysts that enable very fast ring-closing metathesis reactions with turnover numbers of up to 58 000 and turnover frequencies of up to 232 000 h-1.

- Design and synthesis of potent "sulfur-free" transition state analogue inhibitors of 5′-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase and 5′-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase
-
5′-Methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) is a dual substrate bacterial enzyme involved in S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) related quorum sensing pathways that regulates virulence in many bacterial species. MTANs from many bacteria are directly involved in the quorum sensing mechanism by regulating the synthesis of autoinducer molecules that are used by bacterial communities to communicate. In humans, 5′-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is involved in polyamine biosynthesis as well as in purine and SAM salvage pathways and thus has been identified as an anticancer target. Previously we have described the synthesis and biological activity of several aza-C-nucleoside mimics with a sulfur atom at the 5′ position that are potent E. coli MTAN and human MTAP inhibitors. Because of the possibility that the sulfur may affect bioavailability, we were interested in synthesizing "sulfur-free" analogues. Herein we describe the preparation of a series of "sulfur-free" transition state analogue inhibitors of E. coli MTAN and human MTAP that have low nano-to picomolar dissociation constants and are potentially novel bacterial anti-infective and anticancer drug candidates.

- Synthesis and enzymatic evaluation of 2- and 4-aminothiazole-based inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase
-
Highly potent and selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) possessing a 2-aminopyridine group were recently designed and synthesized in our laboratory and were shown to have significant in vivo efficacy. In this work, analogs of our lead compound possessing 2- and 4-aminothiazole rings in place of the aminopyridine were synthesized. The less basic aminothiazole rings will be less protonated at physiological pH than the aminopyridine ring, and so the molecule will carry a lower net charge. This could lead to an increased ability to cross the blood-brain barrier thereby increasing the in vivo potency of these compounds. The 2-aminothiazole-based compound was less potent than the 2-aminopyridine-based analogue. 4-Aminothiazoles were unstable in water, undergoing tautomerization and hydrolysis to give inactive thiazolones.

- Practical one-pot and large-scale synthesis of N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-3- pyrroline
-
N-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-3-pyrroline was prepared with high purity in large scale starting from cis-1,4-dichloro-2-butene via delepine reaction and subsequent cyclization in the presence of potassium carbonate followed by N-Boc protection in methanol.Judicious selection of base and solvent led to the use of a single solvent, i.e., methanol, for cyclization as well as for N-Boc protection to render the one-pot process from compound 2 more practical and greener than the stepwise version.

- Discovery of highly potent and selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase by fragment hopping
-
Selective inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) has been shown to prevent brain injury and is important for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders. This study shows that not only greater inhibitory potency and isozyme selectivity but more druglike properties can be achieved by fragment hopping. On the basis of the structure of lead molecule 6, fragment hopping effectively extracted the minimal pharmacophoric elements in the active site of nNOS for ligand hydrophobic and steric interactions and generated appropriate lipophilic fragments for lead optimization. More potent and selective inhibitors with better druglike properties were obtained within the design of 20 derivatives (compounds 7-26). Our structure - based inhibitor design for nNOS and SAR analysis reveal the robustness and efficiency of fragment hopping in lead discovery and structural optimization, which implicates a broad application of this approach to many other therapeutic targets for which known druglike small-molecule modulators are still limited.

- Heterocyclic lithium amides as chiral ligands for an enantioselective hydroxyalkylation with n-BuLi
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Chiral heterocyclic structures based on 3-aminopyrrolidines (3APs), 3-aminotetrahydrothiophens (3ATTs), and 3-aminotetrahydrofurans (3ATFs) have been synthesized. The corresponding lithium amides have been evaluated as chiral ligands in the condensation of n-BuLi on o-tolualdehyde. The returned levels of induction were in the 46-80% ee range. The cheap and easily prepared 3ATFLi's turned out to be also the best ligands, giving access to the expected R or S alcohols in a same 80% level of induction at -78°C in THF. In all cases, the sense of induction depends on the absolute configuration of C8 on the 3-amino appendage. A general concept is proposed to rationalize the process of induction in the presence of organolithium species.

- Minimal pharmacophoric elements and fragment hopping, an approach directed at molecular diversity and isozyme selectivity. Design of selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitors
-
Fragment hopping, a new fragment-based approach for de novo inhibitor design focusing on ligand diversity and isozyme selectivity, is described. The core of this approach is the derivation of the minimal pharmacophoric element for each pharmacophore. Sites for both ligand binding and isozyme selectivity are considered in deriving the minimal pharmacophoric elements. Five general-purpose libraries are established: the basic fragment library, the bioisostere library, the rules for metabolic stability, the toxicophore library, and the side chain library. These libraries are employed to generate focused fragment libraries to match the minimal pharmacophoric elements for each pharmacophore and then to link the fragment to the desired molecule. This method was successfully applied to neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), which is implicated in stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Starting with the nitroarginine-containing dipeptide inhibitors we developed previously, a small organic molecule with a totally different chemical structure was designed, which showed nanomolar nNOS inhibitory potency and more than 1000-fold nNOS selectivity. The crystallographic analysis confirms that the small organic molecule with a constrained conformation can exactly mimic the mode of action of the dipeptide nNOS inhibitors. Therefore, a new peptidomimetic strategy, referred to as fragment hopping, which creates small organic molecules that mimic the biological function of peptides by a pharmacophore-driven strategy for fragment-based de novo design, has been established as a new type of fragment-based inhibitor design. As an open system, the newly established approach efficiently incorporates the concept of early "ADME/Tox" considerations and provides a basic platform for medicinal chemistry-driven efforts.

- Olefin ring closing metathesis and hydrosilylation reaction in aqueous medium by grubbs second generation ruthenium catalyst
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The Grubbs second generation ruthenium catalyst was shown to catalyze various olefin ring closing metathesis and hydrosilylation reactions in aqueous medium. Reactions proceeded in pure water without any additives or cosolvents, in a short period of time. We found that inhomogeneity of the reaction mixture does not prevent high conversion (70-95%) of the products in both reactions.

- Convenient preparation of optically pure 3-aryloxy-pyrrolidines
-
Chiral 3-methanesulfonyl-1-Boc-pyrrolidine and piperidine were reacted with sodium phenolates, resulting in a mixture of displacement and elimination products. Following carbamate deprotection and pH adjustment, the 3-pyrroline and tetrahydropyridine by-products resulting from elimination were easily removed through aqueous partitioning and/or concentration. Although the pyrrolidines were formed with a high degree of optical purity, slight racemization was observed for the piperidine case because elevated temperatures were required to effect displacement.
