Tautomycetin Synthetic Analogues: Selective Inhibitors of Protein Phosphatase I
Woydziak, Zachary R.,Yucel, A. John,Chamberlin, A. Richard
, p. 839 - 850 (2021)
Ser/Thr protein phosphatases (PPs) regulate a substantial range of cellular processes with protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2 A (PP2A) accounting for over 90 % of the activity within cells. Nevertheless, tools to study PPs are limited as PPs inhibitors, particularly those selective for PP1 inhibition, are relatively scarce. Two examples of PP1-selective inhibitors, which share structural similarities, are tautomycin (TTM) and tautomycetin (TTN). This work describes the development of PP1/PP2A inhibitors that incorporate key structural features of TTM and TTN and are designed to conserve regions known to bind the active site of PP1/PP2A but vary regions that differentially contact the hydrophobic groove of PP1/PP2A. In all 28 TTN analogues were synthetically generated that inhibit PP1/PP2A activity at 50 values were determined for the seven most active analogues, which ranged from 34 to 1500 nM (PP1) and 70 to 6800 nM (PP2A). Four of the seven analogues possessed PP1 selectivity, and one demonstrated eightfold selectivity in the nanomolar range (PP1 IC50=34 nM, PP2A IC50=270 nM). A rationale is given for the observed differences in selectivity.
Stereoselective synthesis of side chain-functionalized tetrahydropyrans from 5-hexenols

Molecular oxygen stereoselectively converts 5-hexenols into 2,6-trans-, 2,5-trans-, and 2,4-cis-derivatives of 2-methyltetrahydropyran via oxidative cyclization/radical functionalization cascades, when activated by fluoro-substituted cobalt(II) bis-(β-diketonate) complexes in solutions of cyclohexa-1,4-diene (CHD). Aerobic 5-hexenol oxidations in solutions of bromotrichloromethane and CHD furnish products of 6-exo-bromocyclization, as exemplified by synthesis of diastereomerically pure 2,4,6-substituted tetrahydropyrans. The cobalt method extends to intermolecular alkene/alkanol cross-coupling and to multi-component reactions between dimethyl fumarate, CHD, a 5-hexenol, and dioxygen, providing α-tetrahydropyranyl-2-methyl succinates in synthetically useful yields.
Allylbarium reagents: Unprecedented regio- and stereoselective allylation reactions of carbonyl compounds

The first direct preparation of allylbarium reagents by reaction of in situ generated reactive barium with various allylic chlorides and their new and unexpected selective allylation reactions with carbonyl compounds are disclosed. Highly reactive barium was readily prepared by the reduction of barium iodide with 2 equiv of lithium biphenylide in dry THF at room temperature. A variety of carbonyl compounds reacted with barium reagents generated from (E)- or (Z)-allylic chlorides in THF at -78 °C. All reactions resulted in high yields with remarkable α-selectivities not only with aldehydes but also with ketones. The double bond geometry of the starting allylic chloride was completely retained in each case. Stereochemically homogeneous (E)- and (Z)-β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids were easily prepared in good yields by highly α-selective carboxylation of allylic barium reagents with carbon dioxide. A selective Michael addition reaction with α,β-unsaturated cycloalkanone was also achieved using an allylbarium reagent. Treatment of 2-cyclopentenone (1 equiv) with allylbarium chloride (2 equiv) in THF at -78 °C for 20 min afforded 3-allylcyclopentanone in 94% yield with a 1,4/1,2 ratio of >99/1. Furthermore, the in situ generated barium enolate was efficiently trapped with various kinds of electrophiles (Me2C=CHCH2Br, nC5H11CHO, and CH3COCl).
