1,5-Asymmetric Induction in Squarate Cascades. Conformational Control of Helicity by Chiral Amino Substituents during Conrotatory Octatetraene Cyclization Prior to β-Elimination
摘要:
Both the sigmatropic and electrocyclic rearrangement pathways that can arise when a pair of alkenyl anions are added to a squarate ester have high stereochemical demands. The distinction is nontrivial. When cis addition occurs initially, the stereoinduction that materializes at this point is fully transmitted into the product(s). The more commonly observed trans addition exhibits fleeting stereochemical consequences because of rapid equilibration of the octatetraenyl intermediates. In this instance, product distribution is governed by the relative rates of conrotatory cyclization at this advanced stage. Herein reported is a complete dissection of a squarate cascade when a stereogenic center attached to an amino substituent effects 1,5-asymmetric induction prior to B-elimination of the entire fragment. Deuterium labeling permits a direct measure of the contrasting kinetic imbalances associated with the two possible modes of alkenyl anion addition. Furthermore; quantitative analysis of the partitioning experienced by the two helical octatetraenes is readily accomplished. This work constitutes the first example where a complete dynamic profile for these complex processes has been possible. The fact that long-range asymmetric induction has been instrumental in solving the mechanistic puzzle is noteworthy.
Cross-Linked Crystals of Subtilisin: Versatile Catalyst for Organic Synthesis
摘要:
Cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLECs) of subtilisin exhibit excellent activity in aqueous and various organic solvents. This catalyst is more stable than the native enzyme in both aqueous and mixed aqueous/organic solutions. Subtilisin-CLEC was shown to be a versatile catalyst. It was used for the syntheses of peptides and peptidomimetics, mild hydrolysis of amino acid and peptide amides, enantio- and regioselective reactions, and transesterifications.

Treatment of diarylphosphinous acid-borane amides possessing chiral amido functionality with an alkali metal solution in liquid ammonia induced a preferential dearomatization of one aryl substituent at phosphorus leading to the formation of non-equimolar amounts of diastereomers. Diastereoselectivity of dearomatization depends strongly on the structure of a chiral auxiliary.
the eleven-step synthesis of 7 is the 1,4,5,10-tetrahydro-10-hydroxy-1-oxo-11H-dipyrrin-9-carboxylate rac-2, which could be resolved into enantiomers by fractional crystallization of the corresponding methyl N-[1-(naphth-1-yl)ethyl]carbamates 3 and 4. The absolute configuration of enantiomericallypure (−)-2 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of its camphor-10-sulfonate 5. As the CD spectrum

Dynamickineticresolution (DKR) of amines is an important strategy for the synthesis of chiral drugs and their building blocks; however, improving the matchability of metal-catalyzed racemization and enzymatic resolution is still a task. In this paper, Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were encapsulated inside the cages of ethylenediamine-grafted MIL-101 (ED-MIL-101), giving highly efficient catalysts (Pd/ED-MIL-101)

We describe here the design, Synthesis, molecular modeling. and biological evaluation of a series of small molecule, nonpeptide inhibitors of SARS-CoV PLpro. Our initial lead compound was identified via high-throughput screening of a diverse chemical library. We subsequently carried out structure-activity relationship studies and optimized the lead structure to potent inhibitors that have shown antiviral activity against SARS-CoV infected Vero E6 cells, Upon the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of inhibitor 24-bound to SARS-CoV PLpro, a drug design template was created. Our structure-based modification led to the design of a more potent inhibitor, 2 (enzyme IC50 = 0.46 mu M; antiviral EC50 = 6 mu M). Interestingly. its methylamine derivative, 49, displayed good enzyme inhibitory potency (IC50 = 1.3 mu M) and the most potent SARS antiviral activity (EC50 = 5.2 mu M) in the series, We have carried our computational docking studies and generated a predictive 3D-QSAR model for SARS-CoV PLpro inhibitors.
