- Fluorescent Isoindole Crosslink (FlICk) Chemistry: A Rapid, User-friendly Stapling Reaction
-
The stabilization of peptide secondary structure via stapling is a ubiquitous goal for creating new probes, imaging agents, and drugs. Inspired by indole-derived crosslinks found in natural peptide toxins, we employed ortho-phthalaldehydes to create isoindole staples, thus transforming inactive linear and monocyclic precursors into bioactive monocyclic and bicyclic products. Mild, metal-free conditions give an array of macrocyclic α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) derivatives, of which several isoindole-stapled α-MSH analogues (Ki≈1 nm) are found to be as potent as α-MSH. Analogously, late-stage intra-annular isoindole stapling furnished a bicyclic peptide mimic of α-amanitin that is cytotoxic to CHO cells (IC50=70 μm). Given its user-friendliness, we have termed this approach FlICk (fluorescent isoindole crosslink) chemistry.

- Assessment of the regioselectivity in the condensation reaction of unsymmetrical o-phthaldialdehydes with alanine
-
One approach for the synthesis of isoindolinones, a privileged bioactive heterocyclic core structure, involves a condensation reaction of o-phthaldialdehydes with a suitable nitrogen-containing nucleophile. This fascinating reaction is revisited here in the context of the use of o-phthaldialdehydes that contain additional substituents in the aromatic ring leading to a detailed analysis of the regioselectivity of the reaction. Eleven monosubstituted o-phthaldialdehydes were synthesised and reacted with alanine. The regioselectivity observed across the eleven substrates led to the design of a disubstituted substrate that reacted with very high control. A gram-scale reaction followed by esterification gave one major regioisomer in high yield. In addition, the regioselectivity observed on reaction of two novel monodeuterated substrates led to an increased mechanistic understanding.

- NHC-catalyzed spiro bis-indane formation via domino stetter - Aldol - Michael and stetter - Aldol - Aldol reactions
-
Two novel domino NHC-catalyzed spirocyclizations are described herein, enabling the rapid construction of three new carbon - carbon bonds and a quaternary center with high diastereoselectivity. A variety of spiro bis-indane structures are assembled in a single step from simple o-phthaldialdehyde derivatives.

- Selective lithiation of 4- and 5-halophthalans
-
The reaction of 4- and 5-halophthalans 5 with lithium and a catalytic amount of DTBB at -78 °C leads to the formation of the corresponding functionalized organolithium intermediates 6 and 11, which by reaction with carbonyl compounds give, after hydrolysis, the expected substituted phthalans 8 and 13, respectively. When after reaction with the carbonyl compound the system is allowed to react at 0 °C, a second lithiation occur: A reductive opening of the heterocycle takes place with some regioselectivity leading to new organolithium intermediates 9 and 14/15 that by reaction with electrophiles lead, after hydrolysis, to polyfunctionalized molecules 10 and 16/17, respectively.
