Reciprocity of Steric and Stereoelectronic Effects in the Collagen Triple Helix
摘要:
In previous work, we demonstrated that 4-fluoroproline residues can contribute greatly to the conformational stability of the collagen triple helix, and that this stability arises from stereoelectronic effects that fix the pucker of the pyrrolidine ring and thereby preorganize the backbone properly for triple-helix formation. Here, we take a reciprocal approach, demonstrating that the steric effect of a 4-methyl group confers stability similar to that from a 4-fluoro group in the opposite configuration. Such fundamental interplay between steric and stereoelectronic effects is heretofore unknown in proteins-natural or synthetic-and provides a new means to modulate conformational stability.
They exhibited potent antimalarial activity against chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains in vitro. The structuralelucidation was accomplished by a combination of spectroscopic analyses and chemical approaches including a totalsynthesis of kozupeptin A. Synthetic kozupeptin A demonstrated a therapeutic effect in vivo, and an intermediate exhibited much higher antimalarial

Organocatalysts, particularly proline sulfonamide organocatalysts, having a first general formula as follows are disclosed.
Embodiments of a method for using these organocatalysts also are disclosed. The method comprises providing a disclosed organocatalyst, and performing a reaction, often an enantioselective or diastereoselective reaction, using the organocatalyst. Solely by way of example, disclosed catalysts can be used to perform aldol reactions, conjugate additions, Michael additions, Robinson annulations, Mannich reactions, α-aminooxylations, α-hydroxyaminations, α-aminations and alkylation reactions. Certain of such reactions are intramolecular cyclizations used to form cyclic compounds, such as 5- or 6-membered rings, having one or more chiral centers. Disclosed organocatalysts generally are much more soluble in typical solvents used for organic synthesis than are known compounds. Moreover, the reaction yield is generally quite good with disclosed compounds, as is their enantioselective and diastereoselective effectiveness.

demonstrate the practical utility of this transformation in the concise syntheses of a rare alkaloid, manzacidinC, and densely substituted amino acid derivatives with remarkable step efficiency. This work provides a blueprint for future applications of Fe/αKG hydroxylation in complex molecule synthesis and the development of powerful synthetic paradigms centered on enzymatic C-H functionalization logic
远端位置的选择性 CH 官能化仍然是有机合成中极具挑战性的问题。尽管大自然已经进化出无数能够实现这一壮举的酶,但它们的合成效用在很大程度上被忽视了。在这里,我们在功能上表征了一种α-酮戊二酸依赖性双加氧酶(Fe/αKG),它选择性地羟基化各种脂肪族氨基酸的 δ 位置。与催化类似反应的其他 Fe/αKG 相比,该酶的动力学分析和底物分析显示出优异的催化效率和底物混杂性。我们证明了这种转化在稀有生物碱、manzacin C 和密集取代的氨基酸衍生物的简洁合成中的实际效用,具有显着的步骤效率。
