- Metal-free synthesis of β-aminoketones by the reductive hydroamination of ynones
-
This study describes a cascade method for the synthesis of β-aminoketones through the reductive hydroamination of alkynes under very mild metal-free conditions. It allows for the rapid conversion of ynones and amines into corresponding β-aminoketones with a broad substrate scope and diverse functionalities. This straightforward and easy-to-handle reaction process can be successfully applied for the synthesis of Proroxan and Propipocaine, offering a potential option for the synthesis of drug molecules with the β-aminoketone skeleton.

- The Synthesis of Chiral Allyl Carbamates via Merger of Photoredox and Nickel Catalysis
-
A mild, and versatile, organophotoredox/Ni-mediated protocol was developed for the direct preparation of diverse, enantioenriched allyl carbamates. The reported approach represents a significant departure from classical step-by-step synthesis of allyl carbamates. This dual photoredox/Ni based strategy offers unrivalled capacity for convergent unification of readily available alkyl halides and chiral carbamates derived from 1-bromo-alken-3-ols with high chemoselectivity and efficiency. The reported photoredox/Ni catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is not limited to carbamates, but also to other O-derivatives such as esters, ethers, acetals, carbonates or silyl ethers. To demonstrate the utility of the reported protocol, the resulting allyl carbamates were transformed into functionalized non-racemic allylamines through a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction in enantiospecific manner. This approach allowed for synthesis of enantiomeric allylamines by a simple control of the geometry of a double bond of allyl carbamates. (Figure presented.).

- Ester Synthesis in Water: Mycobacterium smegmatis Acyl Transferase for Kinetic Resolutions
-
The acyl transferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) catalyses transesterification reactions in aqueous media because of its hydrophobic active site. Aliphatic cyanohydrin and alkyne esters can be synthesised in water with excellent and strikingly opposite enantioselectivity [(R);E>37 and (S);E>100, respectively]. When using this enzyme, the undesired hydrolysis of the acyl donor is an important factor to take into account. Finally, the choice of acyl donor can significantly influence the obtained enantiomeric excesses. (Figure presented.).

- Trialkyl Methanetricarboxylate as Dialkyl Malonate Surrogate in Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Propargylic Substitution

The first copper-catalyzed enantioselective propargylation of trialkyl methantricarboxylate with propargylic alcohol derivatives was developed. The tricarboxylate unit in the obtained adducts could be easily transformed into a malonate moiety by treating with in situ generated NaOEt in excellent yield without racemization.

Diastereo- and enantioselective preparation of 2,2-disubstituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one has been realized by a pybox-copper catalyzed reaction between 2-substituted benzofuran-3(2H)-one and propargyl acetate. The utility of this method was demonstrated by further transformation of the terminal alkyne into a methyl ketone without loss of enantiomeric purity.

An efficient route to the synthesis of 1,3-dienylphosphonates (1) has been developed for the first time by the substitution of propargylic esters (2) to the diethyl phosphite (3) nucleophile in the presence of Pd2 (dba) 3 · CHCl3 (2 mol %) and 2,2′- bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (4 mol%). Both the alkyl and aryl 1,3-dienylphosphonates can be prepared from this transformation. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

- A stereoselective inverting sec -alkylsulfatase for the deracemization of sec -alcohols
-
A metallo-β-lactamase-type alkylsulfatase was found to catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of sec-alkylsulfates with strict inversion of configuration. This catalytic event, which does not have an analog in chemocatalysis, yields homochiral (S)-configurated alcohols and nonreacted sulfate esters. The latter could be converted into (S)-sec-alcohols as the sole product in up to >99% ee via a chemoenzymatic deracemization protocol on a preparative scale.

The asymmetric synthesis was achieved via the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of chiral propargylester (5) which was prepared from optically active propargyl alcohol (4) and 2,4-pentadienoic acid. The sensory evaluation of these enantiomers revealed that there were distinct differences between their aroma character and odor threshold.

- N-Vinylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate salts as reagents for the stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of symmetrical (2E,4E)-1,6-dioxo-2,4-dienes
-
We had previously demonstrated the utility of N-vinylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate salts as novel electrophilic coupling partners in Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with aryl and vinyl boronic acids. We now report that these crystalline, air-stable, and non-hygroscopic salts are also useful reagents for the synthesis of symmetrical (2E,4E)-1,6-dioxo-2,4-dienes (diene diones), which in turn are valuable starting materials for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles. The optimization of reaction conditions and the scope and limitations of the reductive dimerization are discussed.

- Synthesis and use of stereospecifically deuterated analogues of palmitic acid to investigate the stereochemical course of the Δ11 desaturase of the processionary moth
-
Thaumetopoea pityocampa pheromone glands contain desaturases that, after several sequential reactions from palmitic acid, catalyze the formation of a unique enyne fatty acid, which is the immediate sex pheromone precursor. In this article, we describe the synthesis of different stereospecifically deuterium-labeled and isotopically tagged palmitic acid probes needed to decipher the stereochemical course of the T. pityocampa Δ11 desaturase. The synthesis of probes has been carried out by a chemoenzymatic route, in which the key step is the kinetic lipase-catalyzed resolution of racemic mixtures of secondary propargyl alcohols. The presence of the acetylenic bond simplifies the absolute configuration determination of the resolved alcohols. Moreover, it allows the introduction of the isotopic tag by deuteration. By use of the probes thus prepared, experimental evidence is presented that the Δ11 desaturase of T. pityocampa transforms palmitic acid into (Z)-11-hexadecenoic acid by removal of the pro-(R)-hydrogen atoms from both C11 and C12.

- Mutation of cysteine-295 to alanine in secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus affects the enantioselectivity and substrate specificity of ketone reductions
-
The mutation of Cys-295 to alanine in Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus secondary alcohol dehycrogenase (SADH) was performed to give C295A SADH, on the basis of molecular modeling studies utilizing the X-ray crystal structure coordinates of the highly homologous T. brockii secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (YKF.PDB). This mutant SADH has activity for 2-propanol comparable to wild-type SADH. However, the C295A mutation was found to cause a significant shift of enantioselectivity toward the (S)-configuration in the reduction of some ethynylketones to the corresponding chiral propargyl alcohols. This result confirms our prediction that Cys-295 is part of a small alkyl group binding pocket whose size determines the binding orientation of ketone substrates, and, hence, the stereochemical configuration of the product alcohol. Furthermore, C295A SADH has much higher actifity towards t-butyl and some α-branched ketones than does wild-type SADH. The C295A mutation does not affect the thioester reductase activity of SADH. The broader substrate specificity and altered stereoselectivity for C295A SADH make it a potentially useful tool for asymmetric reductions. Copyright
