To enable solid-state NMR investigations of the rhodopsin chromophore and its photointermediates, a series of 11Z-retinal isotopomers have been synthesised containing pairs of adjacent 13C labels at C9/C10, C10/C11 or C11/C12, respectively. The C9 labelled carbon atom was introduced through the Heck reaction of a 13C-labelled Weinreb acrylamide derivative, and the label at the C12 position derived from a 13C-containing ethoxy Bestmann-Ohira reagent. The 13C labels at C10 and C11 were introduced through the reaction of β-ionone with labelled triethyl phosphonoacetate.

An easy and mild copper(I)-catalysed lactonisation of readily available (E)-2,3-dihalopropenoic acid derivatives regio- and stereoselectively leads to rarely described (Z)-3-halo-5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones. These compounds are subsequently able to undergo classical Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, providing 3-substituted and 3,4-disubstituted 5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones (see scheme).

A new double-quantum solid-state NMR pulse sequence is presented and used to measure one-bond 13C-13C J-couplings in a set of 13C2-labeled rhodopsin isotopomers. The measured J-couplings reveal a perturbation of the electronic structure at the terminus of the conjugated chain but show no evidence for protein-induced electronic perturbation near the C11-C12 isomerization site. This work establishes NMR methodology for measuring accurate 1JCC values in noncrystalline macromolecules and shows that the measured J-couplings may reveal local electronic perturbations of mechanistic significance.

13-Demethyl or 13-substituted all-E- and 9Z-retinoic acids were synthesized using a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of enol triflates and tributylstannylolefins. Their biological activities were then measured. The 13-ethyl analogs exhibited approximately one-half of the antiproliferative and differentiation-inducing activity of ATRA in HL-60 cells. In contrast, in the 9Z-derivatives, all analogs, except for the 13-butyl derivatives, showed apoptosis-inducing activity.
Stereocontrolled synthesis of 13-substituted retinoic acids by palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of alkenyl stannane with vinyl triflate

, p. 800 - 802 (2007/10/03)
A novel method for the stereoselective synthesis of all-E-, 13Z- and 9Z- retionic acid esters was developed by palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of tetraenyl stannanes with E- or Z-vinyl triflates in good yields. Applying this methodology, 13-substituted all-E- and 9Z- retinoic acids were prepared in satisfactory yields.
10-Mono-, 11-mono-, 12-mono and 11,12-dideuteroretinal

The 11-mono and 12-mono- and 11,12-dideuteroretinal (in the all-trans, 9-cis, 11-cis and 13-cis form) with > 98percent chemical purity and > 95percent mono- and dideuterium incorporation were prepared using the same scheme for all three compounds.The all-
