Palladium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation of Aldimine Esters with Vinyl-Cyclopropanes to Yield α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acid Derivatives

A synthetically useful approach for the synthesis of functionalized α, α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives via palladium-catalyzed 1,7 addition of readily available aldimine esters to vinylcyclopropanes is reported. This methodology was operated under mild conditions, affording α-allylic α-amino esters in good to excellent yields and excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. This transformation displays broad functional-group tolerance and enantioselective allylic alkylation has also been realized using a chiral phosphine ligand to provide the desired product.

Champacyclin, a new cyclic octapeptide from Streptomyces strain C42 isolated from the Baltic Sea

New isolates of Streptomyces champavatii were isolated from marine sediments of the Gotland Deep (Baltic Sea), from the Urania Basin (Eastern Mediterranean), and from the Kiel Bight (Baltic Sea). The isolates produced several oligopeptidic secondary metabolites, including the new octapeptide champacyclin (1a) present in all three strains. Herein, we report on the isolation, structure elucidation and determination of the absolute stereochemistry of this isoleucine/leucine (Ile/Leu = Xle) rich cyclic octapeptide champacyclin (1a). As 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy could not fully resolve the structure of (1a), additional information on sequence and configuration of stereocenters were obtained by a combination of multi stage mass spectrometry (MSn) studies, amino acid analysis, partial hydrolysis and subsequent enantiomer analytics with gas chromatography positive chmical ionization/electron impact mass spectrometry (GC-PCI/EI-MS) supported by comparison to reference dipeptides. Proof of the head-to-tail cyclization of (1a) was accomplished by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) compared to an alternatively side chain cyclized derivative (2). Champacyclin (1a) is likely synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), because of high content of (D)-amino acids. The compound (1a) showed antimicrobial activity against the phytopathogen Erwinia amylovora causing the fire blight disease of certain plants.

Comparison of liquid chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC/IRMS) and gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) for the determination of collagen amino acid δ13C values for palaeodietary and palaeoecological reconstruction

Results are presented of a comparison of the amino acid (AA) δ13C values obtained by gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) and liquid chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC/IRMS). Although the primary focus was the compound-specific stable carbon isotope analysis of bone collagen AAs, because of its growing application for palaeodietary and palaeoecological reconstruction, the results are relevant to any field where AA δ13C values are required. We compare LC/IRMS with the most up-to-date GC/C/IRMS method using N-acetyl methyl ester (NACME) AA derivatives. This comparison involves the analysis of standard AAs and hydrolysates of archaeological human bone collagen, which have been previously investigated as N-trifluoroacetyl isopropyl esters (TFA/IP). It was observed that, although GC/C/IRMS analyses required less sample, LC/IRMS permitted the analysis of a wider range of AAs, particularly those not amenable to GC analysis (e.g. arginine). Accordingly, reconstructed bulk δ13C values based on LC/IRMS-derived δ13C values were closer to the EA/IRMS-derived δ13C values than those based on GC/C/IRMS values. The analytical errors for LC/IRMS AA δ13C values were lower than GC/C/IRMS determinations. Inconsistencies in the δ13C values of the TFA/IP derivatives compared with the NACME- and LC/IRMS-derived δ13C values suggest inherent problems with the use of TFA/IP derivatives, resulting from: (i) inefficient sample combustion, and/or (ii) differences in the intra-molecular distribution of δ13C values between AAs, which are manifested by incomplete combustion. Close similarities between the NACME AA δ13C values and the LC/IRMS-derived δ13C values suggest that the TFA/IP derivatives should be abandoned for the natural abundance determinations of AA δ13C values.

Stable Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Amino Acid Enantiomers by Gas Chromatography/Combustion/ Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry

The analysis of the stable nitrogen isotope compositions of individual amino acid stereoisomers through the use of gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) is presented. Nitrogen isotopic compositions of single amino acids or of their enantiomers is possible without the labor-intensive and time-consuming preparative-scale chromatographic procedures required for conventional stable isotope analysis. Following hydrolysis and derivatization, single-component isotope analysis is accomplished on nanomole quantities of each of the stereoisomers of an amino acid, utilizing the effluent stream of gas chromatographic separation. Nitrogen isotope fractionation is minimal during acylation of the amino acid, with no additional nitrogen being added stoichiometrically to the derivative. Thus, the isotopic composition of the nitrogen in the derivative is that of the original compound. Replicate stable nitrogen isotope analyses of 11 amino acids, and their trifluoroacetyl (TFA)/isopropyl (IP) ester derivatives, determined by both conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and GC/C/IRMS, indicate that the GC procedure is highly reproducible (standard deviations typically 0.3-0.4‰) and that isotopic differences between the amino acid and its TFA/IP derivative are, in general, less than 0.5‰.

Stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acid enantiomers by conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometry and combined gas chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometry

The application of a combined gas chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/IRMS) method for stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acid enantiomers is presented. This method eliminates the numerous preparative steps integral to the isolation of amino acids and amino acid enantiomers from protein hydrolyzates that precede δ13C analysis by conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Unlike hydrocarbons, amino acids require derivatization prior to GC/ IRMS analysis. Replicate δ13C analyses of trifluoroacetyl (TFA) isopropyl ester derivatives of 22 amino acids by IRMS revealed that the derivatization process is reproducible, with an average error (1 standard deviation) of 0.10‰ ± 0.09 ‰. The average analytical error for analysis of amino acid derivatives by GC/IRMS was 0.26‰ ± 0.09‰. In general, absolute differences between IRMS and GC/IRMS analyses were less than 0.5‰. The derivatization process introduces a distinct, reproducible isotopic fractionation that is constant for each amino acid type. The observed fractionations preclude direct calculation of underivatized amino acid δ13C values from their respective TFA isopropyl ester δ13C compositions through mass balance relationships. Derivatization of amino acid standards of known stable carbon isotope compositions in conjunction with natural samples, however, permits computation of the original, underivatized amino acid δ13C values through use of an empirical correction for the carbon introduced during the derivatization process.
