- SMALL MOLECULES THAT TARGET THE RNA THAT CAUSES ALS
-
Disclosed herein are compounds that selectively bind an expanded transcribed repeat r(G4C2)exp, prevent sequestration of RNA-binding proteins, and inhibit translation of repeat associated non-ATG (RAN) translation responsible for generation of toxic dipeptide repeats underlying diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions are useful in treating a disease or condition characterized by an expanded G4C2 repeat RNA (r(G4C2)exp), such as ALS and FTD.

- Catalyst-Controlled Regiodivergence in Rearrangements of Indole-Based Onium Ylides
-
We have developed catalyst-controlled regiodivergent rearrangements of onium-ylides derived from indole substrates. Oxonium ylides formed in situ from substituted indoles selectively undergo [2,3]- and [1,2]-rearrangements in the presence of a rhodium and a copper catalyst, respectively. The combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies indicate divergent mechanistic pathways involving a metal-free ylide in the rhodium catalyzed reaction favoring [2,3]-rearrangement, and a metal-coordinated ion-pair in the copper catalyzed [1,2]-rearrangement that recombines in the solvent-cage. The application of our methodology was demonstrated in the first total synthesis of the indole alkaloid (±)-sorazolon B, which enabled the stereochemical reassignment of the natural product. Further functional group transformations of the rearrangement products to generate valuable synthetic intermediates were also demonstrated.

- Substitution of the Dimethylamino Group in Gramines and One-Pot Cyclization to Tetrahydro-β-carbolines Using a Triazine-Based Activating Agent
-
A new method for the substitution of 3-[(dimethylamino)methyl]indoles (gramines) with malonate-based nucleophiles was developed using 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (CDMT) as the activating agent for the dimethylamino group. The reaction was completed in 1.5-6 h at room temperature in the presence of a tert-amine base and lithium salt. CDMT afforded superior results to methyl iodide, a common activating agent for the dimethylamino group in Mannich bases, particularly in the reactions of 1-substituted gramines. The reactivity of the possible intermediates, bis(indol-3-ylmethyl)dimethylammonium salts, was examined to obtain mechanistic insights on the reaction. This substitution method with CDMT enabled the sequential transformation of gramines: substitution with (N-alkylidene)aminomalonates followed by the Pictet-Spengler reaction under acidic conditions afforded 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives in one pot.

- New synthetic approach to pyrroloiminoquinone marine alkaloids. Total synthesis of makaluvamines A, D, I, and K
-
A new entry into pyrroloiminoquinone marine alkaloids, makaluvamines, has been developed. The key 1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinoline intermediates 11 and 18 were prepared by aryne-mediated cyclization of the 4- chloro-6-methoxytryptamine derivatives 10 and 17, respectively. The requisite substituents at the indole 4- and 3-positions of 10 and 17 were efficiently assembled by sequential use of directed lithiation of 1-triisopropylsilyl-6- methoxygramine (6) and fluoride ion-induced elimination-addition of the methiodide of 4-chloro-l-triisopropylsilyl-6-methoxygramine (7) as key reactions.
