Phosphoantigen-sensitive Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are important responders to infections and malignancy. However, the mechanisms by which phosphoantigens stimulate Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are unclear. Here, we synthesized phosphoantigen prodrugs and used them to demonstrate that intracellular delivery of phosphoantigens is required for their activity. The pivaloyloxymethyl prodrug is the most potent phosphoantigen described to date, with stronger stimulation of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells from human peripheral blood and greater ability to induce lysis of Daudi lymphoma cells relative to the previously most potent compound, (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP). We demonstrate high binding affinity between phosphoantigens and the intracellular region of butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1), localized to the PRY/SPRY (B30.2) domain, but also affecting the membrane proximal region. Our findings promote a phosphoantigen prodrug approach for cancer immunotherapy and unravel fundamental aspects of the mechanisms of Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation.

Four synthetic farnesyl diphosphate analogues were enzymatically converted with three bacterial sesquiterpene synthases, including β-himachalene synthase (HcS) and (Z)-γ-bisabolene synthase (BbS) from Cryptosporangium arvum, and germacrene A synthase (SmTS6) from Streptomyces mobaraensis. These enzyme reactions not only yielded several previously unknown compounds, showing that this approach opened the door to a new chemical space, but substrates with blocked or altered reactivities also gave interesting insights into the cyclisation mechanisms and the potential to catalyse reactions with different initial cyclisation modes.
A mild method for the replacement of a hydroxyl group by halogen: 3. the dichotomous behavior of α-haloenamines towards allylic and propargylic alcohols

A study of the deoxyhalogenation of allylic and propargylic alcohols with tetramethyl-α-halo-enamines is reported. Primary allylic and primary and secondary propargylic alcohols gave the corresponding halides in high yields. Secondary allylic and propargylic alcohols yielded the corresponding secondary halides but the reaction also produced some rearranged primary halides (I > Br > Cl). The reactions with tertiary allylic and tertiary propargylic alcohols gave several products and was therefore of little synthetic value. However, the addition of triethylamine to the reaction mixture or the use of lithium alkoxide instead of alcohol brought about a major change of the course of the reaction which led to amides carrying an allyl or an allenyl group at C2. This was shown to result from a Claisen-Eschenmoser rearrangement of an intermediate α-allyloxy- or propargyloxy-enamine.
The Application of 1,2-Oxazinanes as Chiral Cyclic Weinreb Amide-Type Auxiliaries Leading to a Three-Component, One-Pot Reaction

1,2-Oxazines were synthesised via a copper-catalysed aerobic acyl nitroso Diels-Alder reaction from 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-dienes and N-Boc-hydroxylamine. From this, 1,2-oxazinanes were obtained in a novel follow-up reaction path. The stability of several 1,2-oxazines and 1,2-oxazinanes towards organometallic compounds was tested to rate their operability as cyclic chiral Weinreb amide auxiliaries. 3,6-Di-tertbutyl-1,2-oxazinane gave the best results and was introduced as a chiral Weinreb amide-type auxiliary to yield chiral α-substituted ketones in a diastereomeric ratio of up to 98:2. The removal of the auxiliary can be performed with BuLi to form unsymmetrical α-chiral ketones. Thereafter, the chiral auxiliary can be re-isolated and purified by sublimation under vacuum.
