Alkyl boronic acids and esters play an important role in the synthesis of C(sp3)-rich medicines, agrochemicals, and material chemistry. This work describes a new type of transition-metal-free mediated transformation to enable the construction of C(sp3)-rich and sterically hindered alkyl boron reagents in a practical and modular manner. The broad generality and functional group tolerance of this method is extensively examined through a variety of substrates, including synthesis and late-stage functionalization of scaffolds relevant to medicinal chemistry. The strategic significance of this approach, with alkyl boronic acids as linchpins, is demonstrated through various downstream functionalizations of the alkyl boron compounds. This two-step concurrent cross-coupling approach, resembling formal and flexible alkyl-alkyl couplings, provides a general entry to synthetically challenging high Fsp3-containing drug-like scaffolds.

Supramolecular catalysts emulate the mechanism of enzymes to achieve large rate accelerations and precise selectivity under mild and aqueous conditions. While significant strides have been made in the supramolecular host-promoted synthesis of small molecules, applications of this reactivity to chemoselective and site-selective modification of complex biomolecules remain virtually unexplored. We report here a supramolecular system where coencapsulation of pyridine-borane with a variety of molecules including enones, ketones, aldehydes, oximes, hydrazones, and imines effects efficient reductions under basic aqueous conditions. Upon subjecting unprotected lysine to the host-mediated reductive amination conditions, we observed excellent ?-selectivity, indicating that differential guest binding within the same molecule is possible without sacrificing reactivity. Inspired by the post-translational modification of complex biomolecules by enzymatic systems, we then applied this supramolecular reaction to the site-selective labeling of a single lysine residue in an 11-amino acid peptide chain and human insulin.

Regioselective catalytic transformations using supramolecular directing groups are increasingly popular as it allows for control over challenging reactions that may otherwise be impossible. In most examples the reactive group and the directing group are close to each other and/or the linker between the directing group is very rigid. Achieving control over the regioselectivity using a remote directing group with a flexible linker is significantly more challenging due to the large conformational freedom of such substrates. Herein, we report the redesign of a supramolecular Rh–bisphosphite hydroformylation catalyst containing a neutral carboxylate receptor (DIM pocket) with a larger distance between the phosphite metal binding moieties and the DIM pocket. For the first time regioselective conversion of internal and terminal alkenes containing a remote carboxylate directing group is demonstrated. For carboxylate substrates that possess an internal double bond at the Δ-9 position regioselectivity is observed. As such, the catalyst was used to hydroformylate natural monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in a regioselective fashion, forming of an excess of the 10-formyl product (10-formyl/9-formyl product ratio of 2.51), which is the first report of a regioselective hydroformylation reaction of such substrates.

Mammary-tissue-restricted cytochrome P450 4Z1 (CYP4Z1) has garnered interest for its potential role in breast cancer progression. CYP4Z1-dependent metabolism of arachidonic acid preferentially generates 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-EET), a metabolite known to influence cellular proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. In this study, we developed time-dependent inhibitors of CYP4Z1 designed as fatty acid mimetics linked to the bioactivatable pharmacophore, 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT). The most potent analogue, 8-[(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)amino]octanoic acid (7), showed a 60-fold lower shifted-half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for CYP4Z1 compared to ABT, efficient mechanism-based inactivation of the enzyme evidenced by a KI = 2.2 μM and a kinact = 0.15 min-1, and a partition ratio of 14. Furthermore, 7 exhibited low off-target inhibition of other CYP isozymes. Finally, low micromolar concentrations of 7 inhibited 14,15-EET production in T47D breast cancer cells transfected with CYP4Z1. This first-generation, selective mechanism-based inhibitor (MBI) will be a useful molecular tool to probe the biochemical role of CYP4Z1 and its association with breast cancer.

Rational design of ligands for regioselective transformations is one of the long pursuing targets in the field of transition metal catalysis. In the current contribution, we report OrthoDIMphos (L2), a ligand that was designed for regioselective hydroformylation of 3-butenoic acid and its derivatives. The previously reported ParaDIMphos (L1) based hydroformylation catalyst was very selectively producing the linear aldehyde when substrates were bound in its pocket via hydrogen bonding. However, the distance between the binding site and the rhodium center was too large to also address 3-butenoic acid and its derivatives. We therefore designed OrthoDIMphos (L2) as new ligand which has a shorter distance between the DIM-receptor and the catalytic center. The OrthoDIMphos (L2) based catalyst displays high regioselectivity in the hydroformylation of 3-butenoic acid and challenging internal alkene analogue (l/b up to 84, TON up to 630), which cannot be achieved with the ParaDIMphos (L1) catalyst. Detailed studies show that the OrthoDIMphos (L2) based catalyst forms a dimeric structure, in which the two ligands coordinate to two different rhodium metals. Substrate binding to the DIM-receptor is required to break up the dimeric structure, and as only the monomeric analogue is a selective catalyst, the outcome of the reaction is dependent on substrate concentration used in catalysis.
UV Lamp as a Facile Ozone Source for Structural Analysis of Unsaturated Lipids Via Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry

Ozonolysis of alkene functional groups is a type of highly specific and effective chemical reaction, which has found increasing applications in structural analysis of unsaturated lipids via coupling with mass spectrometry (MS). In this work, we utilized a low-pressure mercury lamp (6?W) to initiate ozonolysis inside electrospray ionization (ESI) sources. By placing the lamp near a nanoESI emitter that partially transmits 185?nm ultraviolet (UV) emission from the lamp, dissolved dioxygen in the spray solution was converted into ozone, which subsequently cleaved the double bonds within fatty acyls of lipids. Solvent conditions, such as presence of water and acid solution pH, were found to be critical in optimizing ozonolysis yields. Fast (on seconds time scale) and efficient (50%–100% yield) ozonolysis was achieved for model unsaturated phospholipids and fatty acids with UV lamp-induced ozonolysis incorporated on a static and an infusion nanoESI source. The method was able to differentiate double bond location isomers and identify the geometry of the double bond based on yield. The analytical utility of UV lamp-induced ozonolysis was further demonstrated by implementation on a liquid chromatography (LC)-MS platform. Ozonolysis was effected in a flow microreactor that was made from ozone permeable tubing, so that ambient ozone produced by the lamp irradiation could diffuse into the reactor and induce online ozonolysis post-LC separation and before ESI-MS.

Haem substitution is an effective approach to tweak the function of haemoproteins. Herein, we report a facile haem substitution method for self-sufficient cytochrome P450BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium utilising the transpeptidase Sortase A from Staphylococcus aureus. We successfully constructed Mn-substituted BM3 and investigated its catalytic activity.
Bioorganometallic chemistry: Co-factor regeneration, enzyme recognition of biomimetic 1,4-NADH analogs, and organic synthesis; tandem catalyzed regioselective formation of N-substituted-1,4-dihydronicotinamide derivatives with [Cp*Rh(bpy)H]+, coupled to chiral S-alcohol formation with HLADH, and engineered cytochrome P450s, for selective C-H oxidation reactions

Two novel tandem catalysis approaches for the chiral synthesis of S-alcohols from reduction of their prochiral ketones with Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase (HLADH), and selective C-H oxidation reactions with protein engineered Cytochrome P450s, are presented. We utilized a co-factor regeneration procedure with three biomimetic NAD+ models that do not contain the pyrophosphate, nor the adenosine group, and either/or a ribose, N-1-benzylnicotinamide triflate, 1, N-4-methoxybenzylnicotinamide triflate, 2, and β-nicotinamide-5′-ribose methyl phosphate, 3, in conjunction with in situ formed [Cp*Rh(bpy)H]+ from [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)]2+ (Cp*?=?η5-C5Me5, bpy?=?2,2'-bipyridyl) and the hydride source, sodium formate, to regioselectively provide their 1,4-NADH analogs, N-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide, 4, N-4-methoxybenzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide, 5, and 1,4-dihydronicotinamide-5′-ribose methylphosphate, 6. Surprisingly, the 1,4-NADH biomimics, 4 and 6, were recognized, in the second tandem catalysis approach, by the natural 1,4-NADH dependent enzyme, HLADH, for catalyzed, highly enantioselective conversions of prochiral ketones to chiral S-alcohols. For example, with phenethylmethyl ketone and benzylmethyl ketone, the corresponding chiral alcohols were formed in >93% ee (S-enantiomer). Thus, 1,4-NADH biomimetic model recognition by HLADH does not significantly depend on the presence of the ribose, pyrophosphate, or adenosine groups to provide chiral products. We will also propose a plausible active site (HLADH)Zn-H intermediate, generated via a hydride transfer from bound 4/6 to Zn, for the enzymatic reduction of prochiral aryl/alkyl ketones to their chiral aryl/alkyl S-alcohols. Furthermore, the use of protein engineered cytochrome P450 enzymes provided improved molecular recognition of the above mentioned 1,4-NADH biomimetic co-factors, 4 and 5, for selective C-H oxidation reactions. For example, 1,4-NADH dependent mutants of natural 1,4-NAD(P)H dependent P450 BM-3 and 1,4-NADH dependent P450 CAM, with biomimetic co-factors 4 and 5, provided selective oxidation of p-nitrophenoxydecanoic acid to ω-oxydecanocarboxylic acid and p-nitrophenol, via C-H hydroxylation and β-hydrogen elimination, while oxidation of camphor provided hydroxycamphor, respectively. We will discuss the various parameters that effect molecular recognition of the biomimics, including protein engineering of both P450 BM-3 and P450 CAM enzymes, while determining the effect of the co-factor regeneration procedure on HLADH and P450 enzyme activity. These important observations have created new paradigms for the synthesis of organic compounds of interest, with the economically more favorable biomimics of NAD+, 1,4-NADH, and 1,4-NAD(P)H as co-factors, in tandem with the use of [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H)]+ as a regioselective catalytic reagent for co-factor regeneration.
Configurational Assignment of ‘Cryptochiral’ 10-Hydroxystearic Acid Through an Asymmetric Catalytic Synthesis
Brunner, Andreas,Hintermann, Lukas
, p. 928 - 943 (2016/12/09)
An asymmetric catalytic total synthesis of (S)-10-hydroxystearic acid (1) for comparison of its absolute configuration to that of samples obtained by fermentative hydration of oleic acid is reported. The synthesis involves two catalytic key-steps, namely Ru-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydration of 9-decynoic acid (7) to 10-oxodecanoic acid (5), followed by titanium-mediated asymmetric catalytic addition of dioctylzinc (25) to 5 in presence of the chiral ligand N,N’-((1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonamide) (6). The synthesis is short and efficient and avoids use of protecting groups. Ozonolysis of 10-undecynoic acid (9) to 5 provides an alternative entry point into the synthetic route. The double dehydrobromination of (ω,ω-1)-dibromoalkanoic acids to ω-alkynoic acids under a variety of conditions was investigated with 10,11-dibromoundecanoic acid (11) as model substrate and using qNMR to quantify all reaction products. The synthetic approaches presented here have the potential to be generalized to the asymmetric catalytic synthesis of a variety of n-hydroxy-fatty acids.

A readily available galactose oxidase (GOase) variant was used to develop a whole cell screening assay. This endpoint detection system was applied in a proof-of-concept approach by screening a focussed mutant library. This led to the discovery of the thus far most active P450 Marinobacter aquaeolei mutant catalysing the terminal hydroxylation of fatty acids.
