Bacteria depend on a well-regulated iron homeostasis to survive adverse environments. A key component of the iron homeostasis machinery is the compartmentalization of Fe3+ in bacterioferritin and its subsequent mobilization as Fe2+ to satisfy metabolic requirements. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fe3+ is compartmentalized in bacterioferritin (BfrB), and its mobilization to the cytosol requires binding of a ferredoxin (Bfd) to reduce the stored Fe3+ and release the soluble Fe2+. Blocking the BfrB-Bfd complex in P. aeruginosa by deletion of the bfd gene triggers an irreversible accumulation of Fe3+ in BfrB, concomitant cytosolic iron deficiency and significant impairment of biofilm development. Herein we report that small molecules developed to bind BfrB at the Bfd binding site block the BfrB-Bfd complex, inhibit the mobilization of iron from BfrB in P. aeruginosa cells, elicit a bacteriostatic effect on planktonic cells, and are bactericidal to cells embedded in mature biofilms.
Site-Selective 1,1-Difunctionalization of Unactivated Alkenes Enabled by Cationic Palladium Catalysis

A palladium(II)-catalyzed 1,1-difunctionalization of unactivated terminal and internal alkenes via addition of two nucleophiles was developed using a cationic palladium(II) complex. The palladacycle generated in situ as a result of a regioselective addition of a nucleophile to the alkene can readily undergo regioselective β-hydride elimination and migratory insertion with a cationic palladium catalyst. The resulting η3-π-allyl palladium(II) complex is the key intermediate that reacts with a second nucleophile to furnish the desired 1,1-difunctionalization of the alkene. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a wide range of indoles and anilines add to alkene units of 3-butenoic or 4-pentenoic acid derivatives to afford the synthetically useful γ,γ- or δ,δ-difunctionalized products with excellent regiocontrol. Furthermore, by employing internal hydroxyl or acid groups and external carbon nucleophiles, this transformation enables unsymmetric 1,1-difunctionalization to forge challenging and important oxo quaternary carbon centers. Combining experiments and DFT calculations on the mechanism of the reaction is investigated in detail.

Phenolate-induced, diastereo- and regioselective intramolecular exo-tet ring-opening cyclization of N-tosylaziridines has been achieved for the first time. The N-tosylaziridine substrates bearing a tethered (ortho-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy))aryl substitue
Synthesis of chiral chromans by the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA): Scope, mechanism, and applications

The Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of phenol allyl carbonates serves as an efficient strategy to construct the allylic C-O bond allowing access to chiral chromans in up to 98% ee. The effect of pH and the influence of olefin geometry, as well as substitution pattern on the ee and the absolute configuration of the chiral chromans were explored in detail. These observations suggest a mechanism involving the cyclization of the more reactive π-allyl palladium diastereomeric intermediate as the enantiodiscriminating step (Curtin-Hammett conditions). This methodology led to the enantioselective synthesis of the vitamin E core, the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-clusifoliol and (-)-siccanin, and the synthesis of an advanced intermediate toward (+)-rhododaurichromanic acid A.
