The asymmetricdesymmetrizing [3+2] annulation reaction of p-quinamines and arylalkylketenes to synthesize hydroindoles was realized. Catalyzed by chiral bisguanidinium hemisalt via multiple hydrogen bond interactions, enantiomerically enriched products with reversal of diastereoselectivity in comparison with the racemic version were afforded in good yields under mild reaction conditions. Diaryl-substituted
Highly diastereo- and enantioselective [2 + 2]- and [4 + 2]-cycloadditions of disubstituted ketenes were realized by chiral Lewis acid catalysis. A series of arylalkylketenes underwent the reaction smoothly with isatins and beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-ketoesters, providing optically active beta-lactones and delta-lactones with vicinal chiral centers in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), as well as exclusively high diastereoselectivities under 0.2-2 mol % catalyst loading.

Serine hydrolases are one of the largest and most diverse enzyme classes in Nature. Most serine hydrolases lack selective inhibitors, which are valuable probes for assigning functions to these enzymes. We recently discovered a set of aza-beta-lactams (ABLs) that act as potent and selective inhibitors of the mammalian serine hydrolase protein-phosphatase methylesterase-1 (PME-1). The ABLs inactivate PME-1 by covalent acylation of the enzyme's serine nucleophile, suggesting that they could offer a general scaffold for serine hydrolase inhibitor discovery. Here, we have tested this hypothesis by screening ABLs more broadly against cell and tissue proteomes by competitive activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), leading to the discovery of lead inhibitors for several serine hydrolases, including the uncharacterized enzyme alpha,beta-hydrolase domain-containing 10 (ABHD10). ABPP-guided medicinal chemistry yielded a compound ABL303 that potently (IC50 approximate to 30 nM) and selectively inactivated ABHD10 in vitro and in living cells. A comparison of optimized inhibitors for PME-1 and ABHD10 indicates that modest structural changes that alter steric bulk can tailor the ABL to selectively react with distinct, distantly related serine hydrolases. Our findings, taken together, designate the ABL as a versatile reactive group for creating first-in-class serine hydrolase inhibitors.
Ligand Control of Diastereodivergency in Asymmetric Inverse Electron Demand Diels–Alder Reaction
A diastereodivergent direct catalytic asymmetric inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction between ketenes and 3-alkylenyloxindoles was accomplished by using chiral N,N'-dioxide/gadolinium complexes. By adjusting only the substituents of the ligand and retaining other catalysis conditions, both syn- and anti-indole-fused dihydropyranones bearing two vicinal stereogenic centers were obtained in high yields with excellent ee values. Thus, by changing the configuration of the chiral ligands, all stereoisomers could be obtained from the same set of starting materials.

The invention is directed to methods of modulation of serine hydrolase ABHD10, which can be selective with respect to other serine hydrolases such as PME-1. The compounds of the invention, or compounds useful in practice of a method of the invention, are aza-β-lactams, of which the (R)-enantiomer is preferred, for modulation of ABHD10. Methods of preparation are provided comprising the cycloaddition of dialkylazodicarboxylates with ketenes using the catalyst PPY*. The invention provides methods of treatment of conditions in patients for which modulation of ABHD10 is indicated, including pain, inflammation, metabolic disorders, solid tumors, or obesity.
