A new general methodology for the synthesis of various functionalized privileged oxygen heterocyclic scaffolds, viz. pyrones, coumarins, and benzannulated coumarins, is developed. The synthesis proceeds through carbanion-induced ring transformation of lactones with various methylene carbonyl compounds followed by DDQ-mediated unprecedented oxidative cleavage of oxaylidenes intermediates. Studies of the mechanism of the conversions of oxaylidene intermediates into corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of DDQ revealed that the reactions took place via the formation of a Michael adduct instead of an intermolecular charge transfer complex. The methodology offers the fabrication of diverse privileged scaffolds with tolerance for many functional groups onto the oxygen heterocyclic molecular framework.

Methylumbelliferyl-β-cellobioside (MUF-G2) is a convenient fluorogenic substrate for certain β-glycoside hydrolases (GH). However, hydrolysis of the aglycone is poor with GH family 6 enzymes (GH6), despite strong binding. Prediction of the orientation of the aglycone of MUF-G2 in the +1 subsite of Hypocrea jecorina Cel6A by automated docking suggested umbelliferyl modifications at C4 and C6 for improved recognition. Four modified umbelliferyl-β-cellobiosides [6-chloro-4-methyl- (ClMUF); 6-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl- (ClF3MUF); 4-phenyl- (PhUF); 6-chloro-4-phenyl- (ClPhUF)] were synthesized and tested with GH6, GH7, GH9, GH5 and GH45 cellulases. Indeed the rate of aglycone release by H. jecorina Cel6A was 10-150 times higher than with MUF-G2, although it was still three orders of magnitude lower than with H. jecorina Cel7B. The 4-phenyl substitution drastically reduced the fluorescence intensity of the free aglycone, while ClMUF-G2 could be used for determination of kcat and KM for H. jecorina Cel6A and Thermobifida fusca Cel6A. Crystal structures of H. jecorina Cel6A D221A mutant soaked with the MUF-, ClMUF- and ClPhUF-β-cellobioside substrates show that the modifications turned the umbelliferyl group 'upside down', with the glycosidic bond better positioned for protonation than with MUF-G2. 2012 The Authors Journal compilation
