Repurposing the 3-Isocyanobutanoic Acid Adenylation Enzyme SfaB for Versatile Amidation and Thioesterification

Genome mining of microbial natural products enables chemists not only to discover the bioactive molecules with novel skeletons, but also to identify the enzymes that catalyze diverse chemical reactions. Exploring the substrate promiscuity and catalytic mechanism of those biosynthetic enzymes facilitates the development of potential biocatalysts. SfaB is an acyl adenylate-forming enzyme that adenylates a unique building block, 3-isocyanobutanoic acid, in the biosynthetic pathway of the diisonitrile natural product SF2768 produced by Streptomyces thioluteus, and this AMP-ligase was demonstrated to accept a broad range of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Herein, we repurpose SfaB to catalyze amidation or thioesterification between those SCFAs and various amine or thiol nucleophiles, thereby providing an alternative enzymatic approach to prepare the corresponding amides and thioesters in vitro.

PRODUCTION METHOD OF AMIDE COMPOUND

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of an amide compound, which can use a variety of carboxylic acid halides and can produce a desired amide compound at a yield higher than a batch process by suppressing a side reaction. SOLUTION: Provided is a production method of an amide compound using a flow type reactor, in which the flow type reactor includes: a first flow path; a second flow path; a first mixing means provided at a confluent part of the first flow path and the second flow path; and a third flow path that is connected to the first mixing means and arranged on a down stream side of the first mixing means, the production method comprising: a mixing step of obtaining a mixed liquid by circulating a first liquid containing the carboxylic acid halide in the first flow path, circulating a second liquid containing an amine compound having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less, an inorganic alkali and water in the second flow path, and mixing the first liquid and the second liquid by the first mixing means to obtain a mixture; and a reaction step of obtaining an amide compound by circulating the mixed liquid in the third flow path and reacting the carboxylic acid halide and the amine compound in the third flow path.

A catalyst-free, waste-less ethanol-based solvothermal synthesis of amides

A green, one-pot approach based on the solvothermal amidation of carboxylic acids with amines has been developed for the synthesis of diverse aliphatic and aromatic amides. It does not require the use of catalysts or coupling reagents and it occurs in the presence of ethanol that has been proved to have a key role in the process. The proposed strategy is also extendable to biologically active amides and could represent a low-cost and waste-less alternative to the common synthetic pathways.

Appel reaction of carboxylic acids with tribromoisocyanuric acid/triphenylphosphine: A mild and acid-free preparation of esters and amides

A facile and efficient method for esterification and amidation of carboxylic acids under neutral conditions has been developed. Esters and amides can be prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid (1 mmol) with tribromoisocyanuric acid (0.37 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (1 mmol) in dichloromethane at room temperature, followed by addition of an alcohol or an amine, respectively.

A microwave-assisted highly practical chemoselective esterification and amidation of carboxylic acids

The ubiquitousness of esters and amide functionalities makes their coupling reaction one of the most sought-after organic transformations. Herein, we have described an efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of esters and amides. Soluble triphenylphosphine, in conjugation with molecular iodine, gave the desired products without the requirement for a base/catalyst. In addition, a solid-phase synthetic route is incorporated for the said conversion, which has added advantages over solution-phase pathways, such as low moisture sensitivity, easy handling, isolation of the product by simple filtration, and reusability. In short, our method is simple, mild, green, and highly chemoselective in nature.

One for Many: A Universal Reagent for Acylation Processes

This work describes acylation reactions facilitated by a type of heterocycle-based acyl transfer agent, 2-acyloxypyridazinone. Reactions of 2-acyloxypyridazinone with carboxylic acids yield mixed carbonic anhydride intermediates, which are reactive and could be coupled with a wide range of substrates including acids, amines, alcohols, and thiols. The wide substrate scope, ease of operation (no additive or catalyst), storage and handling stability, and atom-efficiency from recycling the heterocycle carrier make the reported acylating agent attractive for acylation-based coupling reactions.

Substrate-selective dehydrocondensation at the interface of micelles and emulsions of common surfactants

Scratch the surface: Dehydrocondensations between carboxylates and amines by using an amphiphilic 1,3,5-triazinylammonium-based coupling agent were accelerated by the interfacial effect of micelles and emulsions of common surfactants (see figure). The reaction of carboxylates was promoted by both anionic and nonionic surfactants, and that of amines was promoted by only a nonionic surfactant. High selectivities for more lipophilic substrates were observed in micelles or emulsions. Copyright

Chili pepper fruits: Presumed precursors of fatty acids characteristic for capsaicinoids

Capsaicin is a molecule unique to fruits from the genus Capsicum. It is responsible for the pungent sensation and displays valuable pharmacological properties. Despite the fruits' economic importance and decades of research, the regulation of the content of capsaicinoids in individual fruits is not completely elucidated, and no agricultural cultivation of chili of defined pungency is assured. Precursor candidates of the fatty acid moiety of the capsaicinoids, especially for the unique 8-methyl-trans-6-nonenoic acid, were examined. Thioesters, acyl-ACP and acyl-CoA, were isolated from the placenta of Capsicum fruits by means of DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, selectively converted to the corresponding N-butylamides, and analyzed by GC-MS. Fatty acid moieties characteristic for capsaicinoids were identified. In two different varieties (Capsicum chinense var. Habanero orange and Capsicum annuum var. Jalapeno) it was shown that the fatty acid pattern corresponds to the distribution pattern of the capsaicinoids formed up to this time. The acyl-thioester fractions contained already the 8-methyl-trans-6-nonenoic acid.

DEHYDRATING CONDENSATION AGENT HAVING PROPERTY OF ACCUMULATING AT INTERFACE WITH WATER

The present invention provides a 1,3,5-triazine compound represented by the following formula I: This compound can be synthesized easily and more economically and can be used as a dehydrating condensing agent having the property of accumulating at a water interface. In the case where carboxylic acid, amine, alcohol or other reaction substrate is amphiphilic, when mixing the dehydrating condensing agent of the present invention, which is amphiphilic, and the substrate to form various molecular aggregate phase including micelles in an aqueous solution, the substrate and the dehydrating condensing agent can be accumulated at the water interface. As a result, the concentration of the substrate increases locally at the water interface, and condensation reaction can be performed extremely efficiently.

Unusual rate enhancement of bimolecular dehydrocondensation to form amides at the interface of micelles of fatty acid salts

(Chemical Equation Presented) Speeding up: A micelle-water interface acts as a suitable reaction field for dehydrocondensation. The coupling reaction of fatty acid salts with a triazine-type amphiphilic dehydrocondensing agent in a micellar system (see picture) underwent up to 2000-fold acceleration. The rate enhancement can be attributed to the higher local concentration and preorientation of the reactants in the micelles.
