- Enantioselective Construction of Axially Chiral Azepine-Containing P,N-Ligands from l -Alanine
-
A family of axially chiral azepine-containing seven-membered cyclic P,N-ligands (named Indole-azepinap) have been prepared by using l-alanine as an original chirality source. The direct chromatographic separation of two diastereomeric phosphine oxides on silica gel enabled these ligands to be easy available, allowing further structural and electronic modifications. Preliminary application of these Indole-azepinaps has been demonstrated in a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation with high yields and moderate enantioselectivities.

- Atropselective Dibrominations of a 1,1′-Disubstituted 2,2′-Biindolyl with Diverging Point-to-Axial Asymmetric Inductions. Deriving 2,2′-Biindolyl-3,3′-diphosphane Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis
-
On the 1H NMR timescale, 2,2′-biindolyls with (R)-configured (1-alkoxyprop)-2-yl, (1-hydroxyprop)-2-yl, or (1-siloxyprop)-2-yl substituents at C-1 and C-1′ are atropisomerically stable at 30 °C. A 2,2′-biindolyl (R,R)-17 a of that kind and achiral (!) brominating reagents gave the atropisomerically stable 3,3′-dibromobiindolyls (M)- and/or (P)-18 a at best atropselectively—because of point-to-axial asymmetric inductions—and atropdivergently, exhibiting up to 95 % (M)- and as much (P)-atropselectivity. This route to atropisomerically pure biaryls is novel and should extend to other substrates and/or different functionalizations. The dibromobiindolyls (M)- and (P)-18 a furnished the biindolyldiphosphanes (M)- and (P)-14 without atropisomerization. These syntheses did not require the resolution of a racemic mixture, which distinguishes them from virtually all biaryldiphosphane syntheses known to date. (M)- and (P)-14 acted as ligands in catalytic asymmetric allylations and hydrogenations. Remarkably, the β-ketoester rac-25 c was hydrogenated trans-selectively with 98 % ee; this included a dynamic kinetic resolution.

- α-Aminoxy Oligopeptides: Synthesis, Secondary Structure, and Cytotoxicity of a New Class of Anticancer Foldamers
-
α-Aminoxy peptides are peptidomimetic foldamers with high proteolytic and conformational stability. To gain an improved synthetic access to α-aminoxy oligopeptides we used a straightforward combination of solution- and solid-phase-supported methods and obtained oligomers that showed a remarkable anticancer activity against a panel of cancer cell lines. We solved the first X-ray crystal structure of an α-aminoxy peptide with multiple turns around the helical axis. The crystal structure revealed a right-handed 28-helical conformation with precisely two residues per turn and a helical pitch of 5.8 ?. By 2D ROESY experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and CD spectroscopy we were able to identify the 28-helix as the predominant conformation in organic solvents. In aqueous solution, the α-aminoxy peptides exist in the 28-helical conformation at acidic pH, but exhibit remarkable changes in the secondary structure with increasing pH. The most cytotoxic α-aminoxy peptides have an increased propensity to take up a 28-helical conformation in the presence of a model membrane. This indicates a correlation between the 28-helical conformation and the membranolytic activity observed in mode of action studies, thereby providing novel insights in the folding properties and the biological activity of α-aminoxy peptides.

- Synthesis of tertiary and quaternary amine derivatives from wood resin as chiral NMR solvating agents
-
Chiral tertiary and quaternary amine solvating agents for NMR spectroscopy were synthesized from the wood resin derivative (+)-dehydroabietylamine (2). The resolution of enantiomers of model compounds [Mosher's acid (3) and its n-Bu4N salt (4)] (guests) by (+)-dehydroabietyl-N,N-dimethylmethanamine (5) and its ten different ammonium salts (hosts) was studied. The best results with 3 were obtained using 5 while with 4 the best enantiomeric resolution was obtained using (+)-dehydroabietyl-N,N-dimethylmethanaminium bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonimide) (6). The compounds 5 and 6 showed a 1:1 complexation behaviour between the host and guest. The capability of 5 and 6 to recognize the enantiomers of various α-substituted carboxylic acids and their n-Bu4N salts in enantiomeric excess (ee) determinations was demonstrated. A modification of the RES-TOCSY NMR pulse sequence is described, allowing the enhancement of enantiomeric discrimination when the resolution of multiplets is insufficient.

Highly enantioselective protonation of α-halo and alkoxy carboxylic acid-derived ketene disilyl acetals is achieved by using P-spiro chiral diaminodioxaphosphonium barfate as a Bronsted acid catalyst, where the enantiofacial discrimination by the catalyst mainly stems from the recognition of the electronic difference between two substituents on the ketene disilyl acetal.

- Synthesis of enantiomerically enriched-bromonitriles from amino acids
-
Two methods were investigated for the preparation of six chiral-bromonitriles with different optic purities. The nitrous deamination of amino acids gives-bromoacids, which react with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate followed by triethylamine to afford-bromonitriles with moderate enantiomeric excess. However, the dehydration of corresponding-bromoamids using thionyl chloride gives-bromonitriles with good enantiomeric excess up to 94%. The use of phosphoryl chloride instead of thionyl chloride results in more than 30% racemization as determined by high-performance liquid chromatograpic analysis.

- Syntheses of hydrazino peptides and conjugates
-
(α-Benzyloxycarbonyl-aminoacyl)benzotriazolides (Cbz = benzyloxycarbonyl) underwent a coupling reaction with α-hydrazino acids under microwave irradiation to form hybrid hydrazino dipeptides (42-71 %). Chiral acylations of β-N-Cbz-α-hydrazino acylbenzotriazolides were successfully carried out with N-, S-, O-, and C-nucleophiles in yields of 49-88 %. Benzyloxycarbonyl-protected hybrid hydrazino dipeptides and benzyloxycarbonyl-protected hydrazino aminoacyl conjugates with N-, S-, O-, and C-nucleophiles were prepared by using benzotriazole methodology.

- Conformational preference in bis(porphyrin) tweezer complexes: A versatile chirality sensor for α-chiral carboxylic acids
-
Metallated porphyrin tweezers have demonstrated a remarkable ability to function as reporters of absolute stereochemistry for a number of different classes of organic molecules. Flexibility in binding, however, can result in an ensemble of different Exciton Coupled Circular Dichroism (ECCD) active conformations that could lead to variable results. Linker flexibility was found to be a key determinant of binding conformation. Experimental results indicate that a balance between linker flexibility and rigidity could yield an optimum porphyrin tweezer that stabilizes a common conformation for all bound chiral guests. This leads to a more simplified approach to absolute stereochemical determination of asymmetry for small organic molecules. This was demonstrated by the use of a C3-linked zincated porphyrin tweezer that yields a common conformational preference for a variety of α-chiral carboxylic acids derivatized with a diamine carrier.

- Enantio-and diastereoselective oxidation of N-alkylimines using chiral-bromonitriles and hydrogen peroxide system
-
Chiral-bromonitriles were prepared with good chemical and optical yields starting from natural-amino acids by dehydrating the corresponding α-bromoamides with thionyl chloride. The combined system-bromonitriles/ hydrogen peroxide was examined for the enantio-and diastereoselective oxidation of N-alkylimines in basic media at room temperature. The oxidation of N-tertiobutylarylimines leads to optically active oxaziridines with moderate enantiomeric excess. However, the oxidation of (S)-1-phenylethylarylimines affords the corresponding oxaziridines with good diasteromeric excess up to 97/3 as proved by gaseous-phase chromatography.

- An unusual conformation of α-haloamides due to cooperative binding with zincated porphyrins
-
CD and NMR spectroscopic evidence of cooperative binding between an α-halogen atom and a carboxamide group with a zinc porphyrin leads to an unprecedented conformation for the determination of the absolute stereochemistry of α-haloamides (α-halocarboxylic acids derivatized with 1,4-phenylenediamine) through the use of exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD). With the use of chiral lactams, whose rotomeric contributions are minimized, both ECCD and NMR spectroscopy demonstrate that the porphyrin favors binding to the side of the sterically more demanding halogen atom as compared to the smaller hydrogen atom. In all, the data is strongly suggestive of an unusual conformation not observed before for α-chiral amides. A mnemonic for determining the absolute stereochemistry of α-halogenated carboxylic acids is provided.

- Synthesis and study of new α-haloacid ferroelectric liquid crystal derivatives. MM2 approach to the molecular structure-ferroelectric activity relationship
-
In order to understand the structural factors that influence ferroelectric properties, three new series (F, Cl, and Br) of chiral naphthalene-ring derived compounds were synthesized, and their ferroelectric properties [spontaneous polarization (Ps) and response time (τ)] were evaluated in the pure compound. The chiral tails are α-halo acids derived from L-α-amino acids: L-α-alanine (1), L-leucine (2), L-isoleucine (3), and L-valine (4), with a fluorine, chlorine, or bromine atom in the chiral center. The highest Ps values were obtained for compounds containing a fluorine or chlorine atom in their asymmetric center and with chiral tail derived from L-isoleucine (3) (F-3, 102 nC/cm2; Cl-3, 100 nC/cm2). The steric requirements of the halogen atom and the bulky alkyl group in the asymmetric center determine the most stable conformations of these chiral tails, which have been studied by molecular mechanic empirical calculations, MM2. MM2 calculations prove to be a successful tool for understanding how the structure of the lateral chiral tail affects molecular arrangement and, as a consequence, the ferroelectric properties of the materials.

- BIOSYNTHESIS OF THE POLYETHER ANTIBIOTIC MONENSIN-A. RESULTS FROM THE INCORPORATIONS OF LABELLED ACETATE AND PROPIONATE AS A PROBE OF THE CARBON CHAIN ASSEMBLY PROCESSES
-
The incorporation of sodium - and (S)--propionate into the polyether antibiotic monensin-A in cultures of Streptomyces cinnamonensis occurs with retention of label only at C-4 and C-6, whereas during the incorporation of sodium (R)-propionate the deuterium label is lost to the medium.These results are consistent with the formation of (S)-methylmalonyl-CoA from the labelled propionate by carboxylation of propionyl-CoA with loss of the 2-pro-R hydrogen.The (S)-methylmalonyl-CoA is subsequently incorporated into the antibiotic by a decarboxylative condensation occuring with overall inversion.The incorporations of sodium -and -acetates into monensin-A provide evidence for a pathway of metabolism leading to methylmalonyl-CoA that does not proceed via succinyl-CoA.Instead, acetyl-CoA may be processed via butyryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA, to afford (S)-methylmalonyl-CoA.
