Reversible Photoswitchable Inhibitors Generate Ultrasensitivity in Out-of-Equilibrium Enzymatic Reactions

Ultrasensitivity is a ubiquitous emergent property of biochemical reaction networks. The design and construction of synthetic reaction networks exhibiting ultrasensitivity has been challenging, but would greatly expand the potential properties of life-like materials. Herein, we exploit a general and modular strategy to reversibly regulate the activity of enzymes using light and show how ultrasensitivity arises in simple out-of-equilibrium enzymatic systems upon incorporation of reversible photoswitchable inhibitors (PIs). Utilizing a chromophore/warhead strategy, PIs of the protease α-chymotrypsin were synthesized, which led to the discovery of inhibitors with large differences in inhibition constants (Ki) for the different photoisomers. A microfluidic flow setup was used to study enzymatic reactions under out-of-equilibrium conditions by continuous addition and removal of reagents. Upon irradiation of the continuously stirred tank reactor with different light pulse sequences, i.e., varying the pulse duration or frequency of UV and blue light irradiation, reversible switching between photoisomers resulted in ultrasensitive responses in enzymatic activity as well as frequency filtering of input signals. This general and modular strategy enables reversible and tunable control over the kinetic rates of individual enzyme-catalyzed reactions and makes a programmable linkage of enzymes to a wide range of network topologies feasible.

Nitrosobenzene-Enabled Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Construction of Atropisomeric N-Arylbenzimidazoles

Described herein is an imidazole ring formation strategy for the synthesis of axially chiral N-arylbenzimidazoles by means of chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Two sets of conditions were developed to transform two classes of 2-naphthylamine derivatives into structurally diverse N-arylbenzimidazole atropisomers with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity as well as high levels of enantiocontrol. It is worth reflecting on the unique roles played by the nitroso group in this domino reaction. It functions as a linchpin by first offering an electrophilic site (N) for the initial C?N bond formation while the resulting amine performs the nucleophilic addition to form the second C?N bond. Additionally, it could facilitate the final oxidative aromatization as an oxidant. The atropisomeric products could be conveniently elaborated to a series of axially chiral derivatives, enabling the exploitation of N-arylbenzimidazoles for their potential utilities in asymmetric catalysis.

Synthesis of Di(hetero)arylamines from Nitrosoarenes and Boronic Acids: A General, Mild, and Transition-Metal-Free Coupling

The synthesis of di(hetero)arylamines by a transition-metal-free cross-coupling between nitrosoarenes and boronic acids is reported. The procedure is experimentally simple, fast, mild, and scalable and has a wide functional group tolerance, including carbonyls, nitro, halogens, free OH and NH groups. It also permits the synthesis of sterically hindered compounds.

Enantioselective Nitroso Aldol Reaction Catalyzed by a Chiral Phosphine–Silver Complex

A catalytic asymmetric O-nitroso aldol reaction of alkenyl trifluoroacetates with nitrosoarenes was achieved by using QuinoxP*·AgOAc [(R,R)-QuinoxP* = (–)-(R,R)-2,3-bis(tert-butylmethylphosphino)quinoxaline] as the chiral precatalyst and N,N-diisopropylethylamine as the base precatalyst in the presence of methanol. Optically active α-aminooxy ketones with up to 99 % ee were regioselectively obtained in moderate to high yields by the in situ generated chiral silver enolates.

Synthesis of N -acylamidines via rhodium-catalyzed reaction of nitrosobenzene derivatives with N -sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles

α-Imino rhodium carbene, readily generated from N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole, underwent cycloaddition and subsequent rearrangement with a nitrosobenzene derivative to afford N-acylamidine. The unprecedented C-C bond cleavage of α-imino carbene was facilitated by the weakness of the N-O bond.

Asymmetric α-aminoxylations of stoichiometric ketones using 2-nitrosotoluene

Asymmetric aminoxylations of a stoichiometric amount of ketones were accomplished through O-nitrosoaldol reactions of 2-nitrosotoluene catalyzed by a proline-based tetrazole. The advantages of 2-nitrosotoluene and the tetrazole over nitrosobenzene and pro

Pyrido[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazol-3-ylidenes as a new family of stable annulated N-heterocyclic carbenes: Synthesis, reactivity, and their application in coordination chemistry and organocatalysis

(Chemical Equation Presented) General synthetic avenues to the pyrido-annulated triazolium salts with different steric and electronic properties have been developed. This architecture can be readily altered with different N-alkyl or aryl substituents at the N2 position of the triazole ring and modifications to the pyridine backbone. Deprotonation of the triazolium salts 12 with NaH led to formation of stable carbenes 11 at room temperature as clearly demonstrated through ESI mass spectra and by observation of the characteristic 13C NMR resonance for the carbene carbon at δ = 202-208 ppm. In sharp contrast, treatment of these triazolium salts with K 2CO3 led to dimerization of free carbenes 11. The dimeric enetetramine (11b)2 could react with elemental sulfur to deliver the corresponding thiourea 16 in toluene at 80°C in good yield. A silver complex with the pyrido[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazol-3-ylidene is described, and the molecular structure of complex 17 was established by X-ray crystallography. The triazolium salts 12 turned out to be powerful catalysts in catalytic benzoin condensations and transesterifications at 25°C. The catalytic activity was largely dependent on the steric and electronic nature of the R1 and R 2 substituents of the triazolium salt. We rationalized that this type of triazolium-catalyzed benzoin condensations should undergo the "traditional" Breslow mechanism rather than the pathway of the dimer (11)2 as the real catalytic species.
