The plant endophyte Chalara sp. is able to biotransform the epigenetic modifier vorinostat to form unique, aniline-containing polyketides named chalanilines. Here, we sought to expand the chemical diversity of chalaniline A-type molecules by changing the aniline moiety in the precursor vorinostat. In total, twenty-three different vorinostat analogs were prepared via two-step synthesis, and nineteen were incorporated by the fungus into polyketides. The highest yielding substrates were selected for large-scale precursor-directed biosynthesis and five novel compounds, including two fluorinated chalanilines, were isolated, purified, and structurally characterized. Structure elucida-tion relied on 1D and 2D NMR techniques and was supported by low-and high-resolution mass spectrometry. All compounds were tested for their bioactivity but were not active in antimicrobial or cell viability assays. Aminofulvene-containing natural products are rare, and this high-yielding, precursor-directed process allows for the diversification of this class of compounds.

We have developed an efficient synthesis of N-hydroxy-N'-[4-3H]phenyloctanediamide ([4-3H]SAHA) from the monoester of suberanilic acid. The starting material, a monoester of suberoyl chloride, was condensed with 4-bromoaniline in the presence of a base to give the 4-bromoanilide of monoethyl suberate in 92% yield. On further treatment with methanolic hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium methoxide, this compound gave 4-bromosuberanilohydroxamic acid in 94% yield. Catalytic tritium exchange of bromine using Pd/C in a tritium gas atmosphere resulted in [4-3H]SAHA with a specific activity of 2.49 Ci/mmol. From the key intermediate, 4-bromoanilide of monoethyl suberate by a non-catalytic tritium exchange reaction, we have also prepared [4-3H]SAHA with high specific activity of 27.5 Ci/mmol.
