- Microelectrode Arrays, Dihydroxylation, and the Development of an Orthogonal Safety-Catch Linker
-
Construction of larger molecular libraries on an addressable microelectrode array requires a method for recovering and characterizing molecules from the surface of any electrode in the array. This method must be orthogonal to the synthetic strategies needed to build the array. We report here a method for achieving this goal that employs the site-selective dihydroxylation reaction of a simple olefin.

- Design, Synthesis, and Conformation-Activity Study of Unnatural Bridged Bicyclic Depsipeptides as Highly Potent Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 Inhibitors and Antitumor Agents
-
By carrying out structural modifications based on the bicyclic peptide structure of echinomycin, we successfully synthesized various powerful antitumor derivatives. The ring conformation in the obtained compounds was restricted by cross-linking with an unnatural bond. The prepared derivatives were demonstrated to strongly suppress the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1 transcriptional activation and hypoxia induction of HIF-1 protein expression. Particularly, alkene-bridged derivative 12 exhibited remarkably potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.22 nM on the MCF-7 cell line) and HIF-1 inhibition (IC50 = 0.09 nM), which considerably exceeded those of echinomycin. Conformational analyses and molecular modeling studies revealed that the biological activities were enhanced following restriction of the conformation by cross-linking through a metabolically stable and rigid bridge bond. In addition, we proposed a new globular conformation stabilized by intramolecular πstacking that can contribute to the biological effects of bicyclic depsipeptides. The developments presented in the current study serve as a useful guide to expand the chemical space of peptides in drug discovery.

- Tridentate Directing Groups Stabilize 6-Membered Palladacycles in Catalytic Alkene Hydrofunctionalization
-
Removable tridentate directing groups inspired by pincer ligands have been designed to stabilize otherwise kinetically and thermodynamically disfavored 6-membered alkyl palladacycle intermediates. This family of directing groups enables regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of several synthetically useful alkene-containing substrate classes, including 4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, homoallyl amines, and bis-homoallylamines, under Pd(II) catalysis. In conjunction with previous findings, we demonstrate regiodivergent hydrofunctionalization of 3-butenoic acid derivatives to afford either Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov addition products depending on directing group choice. Preliminary mechanistic and computational data are presented to support the proposed catalytic cycle.

- High Affinity Agonists of the Neuropeptide y (NPY) Y4 Receptor Derived from the C-Terminal Pentapeptide of Human Pancreatic Polypeptide (hPP): Synthesis, Stereochemical Discrimination, and Radiolabeling
-
The diastereomeric mixture of d/l-2,7-diaminooctanedioyl-bis(YRLRY-NH2) (BVD-74D, 2) was described in the literature as a high affinity Y4 receptor agonist. Here we report on the synthesis and pharmacological characterization of the pure diastereomers (2R,7R)- and (2S,7S)-2 and a series of homo- and heterodimeric analogues in which octanedioic acid was used as an achiral linker. To investigate the role of the Arg residues, one or two arginines were replaced by Ala. Moreover, Nω-(6-aminohexylaminocarbonyl)Arg was introduced as an arginine replacement (17). (2R,7R)-2 was superior to (2S,7S)-2 in binding and functional cellular assays and equipotent with 17. [3H]Propionylation of one amino group in the linker of (2R,7R)-2 or at the primary amino group in 17 resulted in high affinity Y4R radioligands ([3H]-(2R,7R)-10, [3H]18) with subnanomolar Kd values.

The current synthetic strategy utilizes the amino acid as starting material to introduce both the stereogenic centers. However, usage of non-racemizing reagents (EDC·HCl, HATU/NMM); for amide coupling and Grubbs' second generation catalyst for caprolactam ring synthesis makes the present approach more convenient to get the correct conclusion on absolute stereochemistry. Thus, on the basis of similar optical rotation values with the Lindsley's reported data, this synthesis further supported for the actual stereochemistry of both ciliatamides A and B is (R,R).

- Insight into Transannular Cyclization Reactions to Synthesize Azabicyclo[X.Y.Z]alkanone Amino Acid Derivatives from 8-, 9-, and 10-Membered Macrocyclic Dipeptide Lactams
-
An efficient method for synthesizing different functionalized azabicyclo[X.Y.0]alkanone amino acid derivatives has been developed employing electrophilic transannular cyclizations of 8-, 9-, and 10-membered unsaturated macrocycles to form 5,5-, 6,5-, 7,5-, and 6,6-fused bicylic amino acids, respectively. Macrocycles were obtained by a sequence featuring peptide coupling of vinyl-, allyl-, homoallyl-, and homohomoallylglycine building blocks followed by ring-closing metathesis. X-ray crystallographic analyses of the 8-, 9-, and 10-membered macrocyclic lactam starting materials as well as certain bicyclic amino acid products provided insight into their conformational preferences as well as the mechanism for the diastereoselective formation of specific azabicycloalkanone amino acids by way of transannular iodolactamization reactions.

- Epoxy amino acids produced from allylglycines intramolecularly cyclised to yield four stereoisomers of 4-hydroxyproline derivatives
-
Derivatives of 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid (allylglycine) were efficiently resolved using Subtilisin or acylase. The side-chain unsaturated bond of the enantiomerically pure amino acid with tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protection was smoothly epoxidized with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. When the Boc protection of the amino group was removed, the amino group intramolecularly attacked the side-chain epoxide, generating compounds with five-membered rings: the 4-hydroxyproline derivatives. Two diastereomeric products were formed through the cyclisation reaction, for example, (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (cis-8) and (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (trans-8) were formed from (2S)-amino acid with a side-chain epoxide. Compound (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (cis-8) was transformed to a lactone (cis-hydroxyproline lactone, 10) with the removal of benzyl alcohol. The cis-conformation was essential for the intramolecular ester exchange reaction; in fact, no lactone formation was observed for the trans isomer (trans-8). The separation of cis-hydroxyproline lactone and the trans-isomeric hydroxyproline benzyl ester was facile and clear, in contrast to the difficult separation of cis- and trans-hydroxyproline derivatives. Thus, two diastereomers of hydroxyproline derivatives for l-hydroxyproline and also for d-hydroxyproline were obtained, i.e., four diastereomers of hydroxyproline derivatives.

- Synthesis and self-assembly of NCN-pincer Pd-complex-bound norvalines
-
The NCN-pincer Pd-complex-bound norvalines Boc-D/L-[PdCl(dpb)]Nva-OMe (1) were synthesized in multigram quantities. The molecular structure and absolute configuration of 1 were unequivocally determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The robustness of 1 under acidic/basic conditions provides a wide range of N-/C-terminus convertibility based on the related synthetic transformations. Installation of a variety of functional groups into the N-/C-terminus of 1 was readily carried out through N-Boc- or C-methyl ester deprotection and subsequent condensations with carboxylic acids, R 1COOH, or amines, R2NH2, to give the corresponding N-/C-functionalized norvalines R1-D/L-[PdCl(dpb)]Nva- R2 2-9. The dipeptide bearing two Pd units 10 was successfully synthesized through the condensation of C-free 1 with N-free 1. The robustness of these Pd-bound norvalines was adequately demonstrated by the preservation of the optical purity and Pd unit during the synthetic transformations. The lipophilic Pd-bound norvalines L-2, Boc-L-[PdCl(dpb)]Nva-NH-n-C 11H23, and L-4, n-C4H9CO-L- [PdCl(dpb)]Nva-NH-n-C11H23, self-assembled in aromatic solvents to afford supramolecular gels. The assembled structures in a thermodynamically stable single crystal of L-2 and kinetically stable supramolecular aggregates of L-2 were precisely elucidated by cryo-TEM, WAX, SAXS, UV/Vis, IR analyses, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. An antiparallel β-sheet-type aggregate consisting of an infinite one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network of amide groups and π-stacking of PdCl(dpb) moieties was observed in the supramolecular gel fiber of L-2, even though discrete dimers are assembled through hydrogen bonding in the thermodynamically stable single crystal of L-2. The disparate DSC profiles of the single crystal and xerogel of L-2 indicate different thermodynamics of the molecular assembly process. Metalated amino acids: A series of NCN-pincer Pd-complex-bound norvaline derivatives was successfully synthesized without loss of the optical purity and Pd unit. Efficient self-assembly properties of these Pd-norvalines were found to afford well-regulated Pd arrays both in the single crystal and in the supramolecular gel. A solvent-dependent configuration control of the Pd array was corroborated by means of single-crystal X-ray crystallography and cryo-TEM analysis. Copyright

The N-/C-bisfunctionalized palladium-bound norvaline showed self-assembly properties, as evidenced by supramolecular gel formation. The catalytic activity of the supramolecular gel was assessed in the 1,4-conjugate addition of phenylboronic acid.

- Stereoselective synthesis of unsaturated and functionalized L-NHBoc amino acids, using wittig reaction under mild phase-transfer conditions
-
The stereoselective synthesis of a new amino acid phosphonium salt was described by quaternization of melting triphenylphosphine with the β-iodo NHBoc-amino ester, derived from l-aspartic acid. The deprotection of the carboxylic acid function to afford the phosphonium salt with a free carboxylic acid group was achieved by a palladium-catalyzed desallylation reaction. This phosphonium salt was used in the Wittig reaction with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and trifluoroacetophenone, under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions in chlorobenzene and in the presence of K3PO4 as weak base, to afford the corresponding unsaturated amino acids without racemization. Thus, the reaction with substituted aldehydes allows to graft various functionalized groups on the lateral chain of the amino acid, such as trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, ferrocenyl, boronato, or azido. In addition, the reaction of the amino acid Wittig reagent with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes leads to amino acids bearing a diene on the lateral chain. Finally, this amino acid phosphonium salt appears to be a new powerful tool for the preparation of unsaturated and non-proteinogenic α-amino acids, directly usable for the synthesis of customized peptides.

- Synthesis of isotopically labelled amino acids
-
An efficient approach to the enantioselective synthesis of a series of amino acids from either bromoacetyl bromide or glycine is described using a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to establish the stereogenic centre at C-2 under mild conditions. Protected allylglycine 5 is a valuable building block to several amino acids e.g. hydrolytic cleavage of the auxiliary in 5 followed by deprotection gave L-allylglycine in 92% yield whilst oxidative cleavage of the terminal alkene followed by deprotection gave L-aspartic acid in 67% yield over the 2 steps. Furthermore alkene 5 may be converted to hydroxy ester 8 which is an intermediate for the synthesis of various amino acids including L-lysine and L-proline. Since the enantiomer of sultam 1 is commercially available, the analogous D-amino acids may be synthesised. This chemistry is readily adapted for the incorporation of isotopic labels for example for the synthesis of [1,2-13C2,15N]-L-homoserine 14. Copyright

- Locked conformations for proline pyrrolidine ring: Synthesis and conformational analysis of cis- and trans-4-tert-butylprolines
-
The motional restrictions of the proline pyrrolidine ring allow this secondary amine amino acid to act as a turn inducer in many peptides and proteins. The pyrrolidine ring is known to exhibit two predominant pucker modes (i.e., C-4 (Cγ) exo and endo envelope conformers whose ratio can be controlled by proper substituents in the ring). In nature, the exo puckered 4(R)-hydroxy-L-proline plays a crucial role as a building block in collagen and collagen-like structures. It has been previously concluded that the electronegativity of the 4-cis-substituent increases the endo puckering while the electronegativity of the 4-trans-substituent favors the exo puckering. Here, we have introduced a sterically demanding tert-butyl group at C-4 in trans- and cis-configurations. In the case of trans-substitution, the induced puckering effect on the pyrrolidine ring was studied with X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectral simulations. Both cis- and trans-4-tert-butyl groups strongly favor pseudoequatorial orientation, thereby causing opposite puckering effects for the pyrrolidine ring, cis-exo and trans-endo for L-prolines, in contrast to the effects observed in the case of electronegative C-4 substituents. The syntheses and structural analysis are presented for the conformationally constrained 4-tert-butylprolines. The prolines were synthesized from 4-hydroxy-L-proline, substitution with t-BuCuSPhLi being the key transformation. This reaction gave N-Boc-trans-4-tert-butyl-L-proline tert-butyl ester in 94% ee and 57% de. Enantioselectivity was increased to 99.2% ee by crystallization of N-Boc-trans-4-tert-butyl-L-proline in the final step of the synthesis.

- Iminoiodane mediated aziridination of α-allylglycine: Access to a novel rigid arginine derivative and to the natural amino acid enduracididine
-
The synthesis of fully protected aminodihydrohistidines in optically pure form is described starting from allylglycine derivatives. These compounds represent novel conformationally constrained analogues of arginine, one of them being, in addition, a protected form of the marine natural product, enduracididine. The key step of the strategy is a one-pot copper-catalyzed aziridination of t-butyl (S)-N-(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)allylglycinate ((S)-16) with 2-trimethylsilylethanesulfonamide in the presence of iodosylbenzene.

- Hydroboration-Suzuki cross coupling of unsaturated amino acids; the synthesis of pyrimine derivatives
-
Hydroboration of protected allylglycines with 9-BBN followed by Suzuki cross coupling of the resulting organoboranes proceeded smoothly giving a range of new bis-homophenylalanine and related derivatives in good yields (9 examples, 53-64%). One of the Suzuki coupling products has been elaborated to give the N-Cbz-protected natural product pyrimine. The hydroboration-Suzuki coupling of vinylglycine derivatives was also studied but was less efficient than with the allylglycine derivatives: the best results were obtained using disiamylborane·DMS as the hydroborating agent.

- Versatile synthons for optically pure alpha-amino aldehydes and alpha-amino acids: (+)- and (-)-4,5-dialkoxy-2-oxazolidinones.
-
Both enantiomers of trans-5-benzyloxy-4-methoxy- (BMOx) and trans-4,5-dimethoxy-2-oxazolidinones (DMOx), which are readily accessible from simple 2-oxazolone heterocycles, represent good candidates for a new class of chiral synthons for use in the preparation of optically pure alpha-amino aldehydes and alpha-amino acids, respectively.

- A novel application of a Pd(0)-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reaction to the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of lactam analogues of the epothilone natural products
-
Several lactam analogues of the epothilones were prepared using a concise semisynthetic approach starting with the unprotected natural products. Highlighted in this strategy is a novel regio- and stereoselective Pd(0)-catalyzed azidation reaction of a macrocyclic lactone. Subsequent reduction and macrolactamization of the resulting azide acid intermediates provided the desired macrolactams in satisfactory overall yields. The entire three-step sequence was streamlined into a 'one-pot' process for the epothilone B-lactam, BMS-247550, which is currently undergoing phase I clinical trials. An initial total synthesis route to prepare the lactam analogue of epothilone C was completed and compared to the more direct semisynthesis approach. All of the lactam analogues were evaluated in vitro and the results are discussed.

N-Substituted 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid derivatives employed for the protection of racemic amino acids were shown to be capable of permitting the chromatographic separation of R and S isomers. When N(α) was disubstituted with benzyl and phenylfluorenyl groups, the racemic amino acids could be separated with facility on open silica gel columns. Further, the optically pure N-protected amino acids so derived could be used for the preparation of misacylated suppressor transfer RNAs. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- 1,5-dimethyl-4-phenylimidazolidin-2-one-derived iminic glycinimides: Useful new reagents for practical asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids
-
New 1,5-dimethyl-4-phenylimidazolidin-2-one-derived acyclic chiral iminic glycine reagents have been prepared and diastereoselectively alkylated with activated alkyl halides and electrophilic olefins in the presence of lithium chloride under (a) strong bases (LHMDS, KOBu(t)) and low temperature (-78 °C,) conditions; (b) solid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis reaction (LiOH, TBAB, -20 °C) conditions, and (c) in the presence of organic bases (DBU, BEMP, TMG, -20 °C). In the case of dielectrophiles C- and N-alkylation takes place to afford heterocyclic derivatives. Hydrolysis of alkylated products has been carried out (a) in two-step procedures with LiOOH or LiOH followed by acidic hydrolysis or Dowex purification, (b) in one single-step under refluxing water to give the corresponding α-amino acid, (c) in the presence of DBU in methanol to provide N-protected α-amino acids methyl esters, or (d) by a protection-hydrolysis procedure to afford N-Boc-protected α-amino acids. The chiral imidazolidinone has generally been recovered in good yield. This methodology has been shown to be useful for the synthesis of acyclic and heterocyclic (S)- and (R)-α-amino acids.

- Towards a total synthesis of ustiloxins A and B. Stereocontrolled synthesis of (2S,4S,6S)-4-hydroxy-5-phenylsulfinylnorvaline
-
A short, stereocontrolled synthesis of (2S,4S,6S)-4-hydroxy-5-phenylsulfinylnorvaline (8), an unusual amino acid component of ustiloxins A and B, has been achieved. Stereoselective bromolactonisation of N-Boc-(S)-allylglycine (3) is followed by substitution of the bromide 4a with thiophenol to give the corresponding sulfide 5. Highly stereoselective oxidation of the sulfide 5 gives the corresponding sulfoxide 6a. Removal of the Boc group and lactone ring opening then complete the synthesis of the unusual amino acid.

- Highly practical methodology for the synthesis of D- and L-α-amino acids, N-protected α-amino acids, and N-methyl-α-amino acids
-
Full details are provided for an exceedingly practical method to synthesize D- and L-α-amino acids, N-protected α-amino acids, and N-methyl-α-amino acids, employing as a key step the asymmetric alkylation of pseudoephedrine glycinamide (1) or pseudoephedrine sarcosinamide (2). Practical procedures for the synthesis of 1 and 2 from pseudoephedrine and glycine methyl ester or sarcosine methyl ester, respectively, are presented. Optimum protocols for the enolization and subsequent alkylation of 1 and 2 are described. Alkylation reactions of 1 and 2 are found to be quite efficient with a wide range of alkyl halide substrates, and the products are formed with high diastereoselectivity. The products of these alkylation reactions are hydrolyzed efficiently and with little to no racemization simply by heating in water or water-dioxane mixtures. This protocol provides an exceedingly practical method for the preparation of salt-free α-amino acids of high enantiomeric purity. Alternatively, the alkylation products may be hydrolyzed in high yield and with little to no racemization by heating with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The alkaline hydrolyzate can then be treated with an acylating reagent to provide directly highly enantiomerically enriched N-protected derivatives such as N-Boc and N-Fmoc. Key features necessary for the successful execution of these experimental procedures are identified.
