Fe2+-catalyzed formation of nitriles and thionamides from intact glucosinolates
Bellostas, Natalia,Sorensen, Anne D.,Sorensen, Jens C.,Sorensen, Hilmer
, p. 76 - 80 (2008)
The ratio of isothiocyanates to nitriles formed upon the hydrolysis of glucosinolates is a key factor determining the physiological effect of glucosinolate-containing plants and materials. A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) method was used to study the nonenzymatic Fe2+-catalyzed transformation of glucosinolates. At room temperature, pH 5, and in the presence of only 2 molar excess of Fe2+ all glucosinolate was degraded in 24 h. At all molar excess Fe2+ tested, nitriles were the major compounds formed. Thionamides were also formed from glucosinolates that contained a side chain hydroxylated at C-2; in this case, trace amounts of oxazolidine-2-thione were also detected. The presence of Fe3+ had no effect. The nonenzymatic Fe2+-catalyzed transformation of glucosinolates involves the binding of Fe2+ to the glucosinolate to form a complex.
Applications of Shoda's reagent (DMC) and analogues for activation of the anomeric centre of unprotected carbohydrates
Fairbanks, Antony J.
, (2020/12/07)
2-Chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC, herein also referred to as Shoda's reagent) and its derivatives are useful for numerous synthetic transformations in which the anomeric centre of unprotected reducing sugars is selectively activated in aqueous solution. As such unprotected sugars can undergo anomeric substitution with a range of added nucleophiles, providing highly efficient routes to a range of glycosides and glycoconjugates without the need for traditional protecting group manipulations. This mini-review summarizes the development of DMC and some of its derivatives/analogues, and highlights recent applications for protecting group-free synthesis.

H2S and H2O2 are two redox regulating molecules that play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes. While each of them has distinct biosynthetic pathways and signaling mechanisms, the crosstalk between these two species is also known to cause critical biological responses such as protein S-persulfidation. So far, many chemical tools for the studies of H2S and H2O2 have been developed, such as the donors and sensors for H2S and H2O2. However, these tools are normally targeting single species (e.g., only H2S or only H2O2). As such, the crosstalk and synergetic effects between H2S and H2O2 have hardly been studied with those tools. In this work, we report a unique H2S/H2O2 dual donor system by employing 1-thio-β-d-glucose and glucose oxidase (GOx) as the substrates. This enzymatic system can simultaneously produce H2S and H2O2 in a slow and controllable fashion, without generating any bio-unfriendly byproducts. This system was demonstrated to cause efficient S-persulfidation on proteins. In addition, we expanded the system to thiolactose and thioglucose-disulfide; therefore, additional factors (β-galactosidase and cellular reductants) could be introduced to further control the release of H2S/H2O2. This dual release system should be useful for future research on H2S and H2O2.

S-Glycosyl thiosulfates have been discovered as a new class of synthetic intermediates in sugar chemistry, named "glycosyl Bunte salts" after 19th-century German chemist, Hans Bunte. The synthesis was achieved by direct condensation of unprotected sugars and sodium thiosulfate using a formamidine-type dehydrating agent in water-acetonitrile mixed solvent. The application of glycosyl Bunte salts is demonstrated with transformation reactions into other glycosyl compounds such as a 1-thio sugar, a glycosyl disulfide, a 1,6-anhydro sugar, and an O-glycoside.
Hypervalent Iodine Reagents: Thiol Derivatization with a Tetrafluoroethoxy Coumarin Residue for UV Absorbance Recognition
Commare, Bruno,Togni, Antonio
, (2017/05/26)
A new hypervalent iodine reagent (5) based on 1,2-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1,2-benziodoxole containing a 4-methyl-7-tetrafluoroethoxycoumarin unit as a specific UV absorber was prepared and fully characterized, including X-ray crystal structural analysis. The high reactivity of this compound towards thiols has been exploited for the selective tagging of several targets with the UV chromophore coumarin, including e.g. glutathione.

A general and efficient protocol for the palladium-catalyzed functionalization of mono- and polyglycosyl thiols by using the palladacycle precatalyst G3-XantPhos was developed. The C-S bond-forming reaction was achieved rapidly at room temperature with various functionalized (hetero)aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkynyl halides. The functional group tolerance on the electrophilic partner is typically high and anomer selectivities of thioglycosides are high in all cases studied. New sulfur nucleophiles such as thiophenols, alkythiols, and thioaminoacids (cysteine) were also successfully coupled to lead to the most general and practical method yet reported for the functionalization of thiols.

A novel series of C-4β-disulfide/trisulfide-containing podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines, including KB (Mouth Epidermal Carcinoma Cells) and KB/VCR (Vincristine-resistant Mouth Epidermal Carcinoma Cells). Most of these compounds exhibited promising moderate to good cytotoxic activities. In particular, some of them displayed even superior activities to that of etoposide, especially for KB/VCR cell lines, indicating that introduction of the disulfide/trisulfide moiety would be beneficial for overcoming the multi-drug resistant limitation of etoposide. Moreover, the metabolic evaluation of the most promising compound was further performed to reveal that disulfide bond can be stable in human plasma over 8 hours, indicating good potential of these compounds for in vivo anti-cancer activities.

, p. 189 - 194 (2013/01/15)
QDs with different fluorescence emission wavelengths were coated with galactose, glucose, and lactose respectively. The formulas of glyco-QDs were determined by NMR and ICP-OES, and the interactions between glyco-QDs and PNA lectin were investigated by SPR. The results showed that multivalent presentation achieved by using QDs as the scaffold is an effective way to enhance the carbohydrate-protein interactions. The KD for the interaction of PNA with multivalent glyco-QDs is over 3 × 10 6-fold lower than those with the same free sugars. The specific recognition for the sugar coated on the QDs by lectin is maintained. These sugar-coated QDs could be used as a fluorescent probe to label and identify glycoproteins.

Polymeric versions of deacetylated auranofin, a gold complex with a sugar ligand, were prepared by post-modifying RAFT glycopolymers. Micellisation of a block copolymer containing pendant Au(i) units produced nanoparticles with an increased anti-proliferative effect against OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma cells.
Protecting group-free glycoligation by the desulfurative rearrangement of allylic disulfides as a means of assembly of oligosaccharide mimetics
Subramanian, Venkataraman,Moume-Pymbock, Myriame,Hu, Tianshun,Crich, David
experimental part, p. 3691 - 3709 (2011/06/25)
2-(2-Pyridyldithio-3-butenyl) glycosides react with carbohydrate-based thiols in a two-step process involving sulfenyl transfer followed by desulfurative 2,3-allylic rearrangement, promoted by either triphenylphosphine or silver nitrate, to give novel saccharide mimetics. In an alternative embodiment of the same chemistry anomeric thiols are coupled with carbohydrates derivatized in the form of 2-(2-pyridyldithio-3-butenyl) ethers. This new method of glycoligation does not require protection of hydroxyl groups and is compatible with the presence of acetamides, azides, trichloroethoxycarbamates, and thioglycosides. Variations on the general theme enable the preparation of mimetics of reducing and nonreducing oligosaccharides as well as of nonglycosidically linked systems.
