Steric constraints imposed by the active sites of protein and RNA enzymes pose major challenges to the investigation of structure-function relationships within these systems. As a strategy to circumvent such constraints in the HDV ribozyme, we have synthesized phosphoramidites from propanediol derivatives and incorporated them at the 5′-termini of RNA and DNA oligonucleotides to generate a series of novel substrates with nucleophiles perturbed electronically through geminal fluorination. In nonenzymatic, hydroxide-catalyzed intramolecular transphosphorylation of the DNA substrates, pH-rate profiles revealed that fluorine substitution reduces the maximal rate and the kinetic pKa, consistent with the expected electron-withdrawing effect. In HDV ribozyme reactions, we observed that the RNA substrates undergo transphosphorylation relatively efficiently, suggesting that the conformational constraints imposed by a ribofuranose ring are not strictly required for ribozyme catalysis. In contrast to the nonenzymatic reactions, however, substrate fluorination modestly increases the ribozyme reaction rate, consistent with a mechanism in which (1) the 2′-hydroxyl nucleophile exists predominantly in its neutral, protonated form in the ground state and (2) the 2′-hydroxyl bears some negative charge in the rate-determining step, consistent with a transition state in which the extent of 2′-OH deprotonation exceeds the extent of P-O bond formation.

Page/Page column 16-17, (2008/12/08)
A method for producing alcohols which comprises reducing esters or lactones with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising (i) a ruthenium compound, (ii) a monodentate monophosphine or a bidentate bisphosphine, and (iii) an amine. Examples of the catalyst include a ruthenium (Ru) complex represented by the formula:RuX1X2(LP)m(LN)n [X1 and X2 each represent an anionic ligand, LP represents a phosphine ligand, m is 1 when LP is bidentate, while m is 2 when LP is monodentate, LN represents an amine ligand, and n is 1 when LN is bidentate, while n is 2 when LN is monodentate.] and a catalyst comprising an amine and a ruthenium (Ru) complex of the formula: RuX1X2 (LP1)r [LP1 represents a monophosphine ligand and r is 3 or 4.].

Examination was made of 1,2-asymmetric induction in the addition of alkyl radicals to γ-oxy-α,β-unsaturated ester derivatives 1 and 2 prepared from ethyl lactate and (R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde 3, respectively.The addition reactions of hexyl, cyclohexyl and 3-phenylpropyl radicals to (Z)-2 derived from aldehyde 3 gave β-addition products with syn-stereoselectivity (syn:anti = 8.6:1 - syn only).The reactions of (E)-2 were non-stereoselective.Based on allylic strain, a transition-state model for the syn-stereoselectivity is proposed. 1,2-Asymmetric induction was carried out in radical cyclisation to synthesize optically active cyclohexane derivatives.
