Three new caffeic acid esters (1-3), four new lignans (4-7), and the known compounds (7′S)-parabenzlactone (8), dihydrocubebin (9), and justiflorinol (10) have been isolated from leaves of Piper sanguineispicum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRCIMS, CD experiments, and chemical methods. Compounds 1-10 were assessed for their antileishmanial potential against axenic amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis. Caffeic acid esters 1 and 3 exhibited the best antileishmanial activity (IC50 2.0 and 1.8 μM, respectively) with moderate cytotoxicity on murine macrophages.

Effective procedures for the synthesis of optically pure alcohols are highly valuable. A commonly employed method involves the biocatalytic reduction of prochiral ketones. This is typically achieved by using nicotinamide cofactor-dependent reductases. In this work, we demonstrate that a rather unexplored class of enzymes can also be used for this. We used an F420-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADF) from Methanoculleus thermophilicus that was found to reduce various ketones to enantiopure alcohols. The respective (S) alcohols were obtained in excellent enantiopurity (>99 % ee). Furthermore, we discovered that the deazaflavoenzyme can be used as a self-sufficient system by merely using a sacrificial cosubstrate (isopropanol) and a catalytic amount of cofactor F420 or the unnatural cofactor FOP to achieve full conversion. This study reveals that deazaflavoenzymes complement the biocatalytic toolbox for enantioselective ketone reductions.

Procedures for the preparation of the nucleophilic diphosphine ligands (R)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetramethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) ((R)-Ph-Garphos, 2a) and (S)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetramethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) ((S)-Ph-Garphos, 2b) were described. The ligands were used to prepare the ruthenium(II) Ph-Garphos complexes, chloro(p-cymene)(R)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetraamethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([RuCl(p-cymene)(R)-Ph-Garphos]Cl (3)) and chloro(p-cymene)(S)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetraamethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([RuCl(p-cymene)(S)-Ph-Garphos]Cl (4)). In the presence of the chiral diamine co-ligands (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine (R,R-DPEN) and (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine (S,S-DPEN), complexes 3 and 4 were found to be catalyst precursors for the enantioselective reduction of aryl ketones under mild conditions (room temperature and 3–4 atm of H2). The chiral alcohols were isolated in moderate to good yields and with enantioselectivities of up to 93percent. The ruthenium complexes chloro(p-cymene)(R)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetramethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-phosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([RuCl(p-cymene)(R)-Xyl-Garphos]Cl (5)) and chloro(p-cymene)(S)-(4,4′,6,6′-tetramethoxybiphenyl-2,2′-diyl)bis(bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-phosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([RuCl(p-cymene)(S)-Xyl-Garphos]Cl (6)) were also prepared and used as catalyst precursors for the hydrogenation of aryl ketones in the presence of (R,R)-DPEN and (S,S)-DPEN. Significant improvements in the enantioselectivities of the alcohols (up to 98percent ee.) were afforded. A combination of 6 and (S,S)-DPEN afforded (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol in 89percent yield and with 95percent ee which was shown to be a suitable precursor for the preparation of (S)-rivastigmine.
