Biotransformation of (±) -threo-7,8-dihydroxy(7,8-2H 2)tetradecanoic acids (threo-(7,8-2H2)-3) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae afforded 5,6-dihydroxy(5,6-2H 2)dodecanoic acids (threo-(5,6-2H2)-4), which were converted to (5S,6S)-6-hydroxy(5,6-2H 2)dodecano-5-lactone ((5S,6S)-(5,6-2H2)-7) with 80% e.e. and (5S,6S)-5-hydroxy(5,6-2H 2)dodecano-6-lactone ((5S-,6S)-5,6-2H2)-8). Further β-oxidation of threo-(5,6-2H2)-4 yielded 3,4-dihydroxy(3,4-2H2)decanoic acids (threo-(3,4- 2H2)-5), which were converted to (3R,4R)-3-hydroxy(3,4-2H2)decano-4-lactone ((3R,4R)-9) with 44% e.e. and converted to 2H-labeled decano-4-lactones ((4R)-(3-2H1)- and (4R)-(2,3-2H2)-6) with 96% e.e. These results were confirmed by experiments in which (±)-threo-3,4-dihydroxy(3,4-2H2)decanoic acids (threo-(3,4-2H2)-5) were incubated with yeast. From incubations of methyl (5S,6S)- and (5R,6R)-5,6-dihydroxy(5,6-2H 2)dodecanoates ((5S,6S)- and (5R,6R)-(5,6-2H 2)-4a), the (5S,6S)-enantiomer was identified as the precursor of (4R)-(3-2H1)- and (2,3-2H2)-6). Therefore, (4R)-6 is synthesized from (3S,4S)-5 by an oxidation/keto acid reduction pathway involving hydrogen transfer from C(4) to C(2). In an analogous experiment, methyl (9S, 10S)-9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoate ((9S,10S)-10a) was metabolized to (3S,4S)-3,4-dihydroxydodecanoic acid ((3S,4S)-15) and converted to (4R)-dodecano-4-lactone ((4R)-18).

Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is a Gram-negative gammaproteobacterial pathogen that infects and intracellularly replicates in human macrophages and a variety of protozoa. L. pneumophila encodes an orphan biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) that contains isocyanide-associated biosynthetic genes and is upregulated during infection. Because isocyanide-functionalized metabolites are known to harbor invertebrate innate immunosuppressive activities in bacterial pathogen–insect interactions, we used pathway-targeted molecular networking and tetrazine-based chemoseletive ligation chemistry to characterize the metabolites from the orphan pathway in L. pneumophila. We also assessed their intracellular growth contributions in an amoeba and in murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages. Unexpectedly, two distinct groups of aromatic amino acid-derived metabolites were identified from the pathway, including a known tyrosine-derived isocyanide and a family of new N-acyl-l-histidine metabolites.

Tandem Regioselective Hydroformylation-Hydrogenation of Internal Alkynes Using a Supramolecular Catalyst

New supramolecular ligands containing an acyl guanidine function were designed based on the strategy of increasing the π-acceptor ability of phosphine ligands by introducing electron-withdrawing groups. By applying this novel catalytic system, a general protocol for the Rh-catalysed hydroformylation-hydrogenation of unsymmetrical internal alkynes, functionalized with a carboxylic acid, was found to furnish aliphatic aldehydes in high regio- and chemoselectivities. Control experiments confirm the enzyme-like supramolecular catalyst mode of action.

(Chemical Equation Presented) An enantioselective Bronsted acid-catalyzed N-acyliminium cyclization cascade of tryptamines with enol lactones to form architecturally complex heterocycles in high enantiomeric excess has been developed. The reaction is technically simple to perform as well as atom-efficient and may be coupled to a gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of alkynoic acids whereby the key enol lactone reaction partner is generated in situ. Employing up to 10 mol % bulky chiral phosphoric acid catalysts in boiling toluene allowed the product materials to be generated in good overall yields (63-99%) and high enantioselectivities (72-99% ee). With doubly substituted enol lactones, high diastereo- and enantioselectivities were obtained, thus providing a new example of a dynamic kinetic asymmetric cyclization reaction.
