Development of a New Nonpeptidic Self-Immolative Spacer. Application to the Design of Protease Sensing Fluorogenic Probes
摘要:
The design and synthesis of novel self-immolative spacer systems aiming at the release of phenol-containing compounds are described. The newly designed traceless linkers proved to be conveniently stable under physiological conditions and operate through spontaneous decomposition of an hemithioaminal intermediate under neutral aqueous conditions. Their utility was then illustrated by the preparation of original fluorogenic substrates of penicillin amidase whose strong fluorescence is unveiled through enzyme-initiated domino reactions.

We report a peptide-based catalyst that can strongly influence the regio- and enantioselectivity of the Baeyer–Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclic ketones bearing amide, urea, or sulfonamide functional groups. Both types of selectivity are thought to arise from a catalyst–substrate hydrogen-bonding interaction. Furthermore, in selected cases, the reactions exhibit the hallmarks of parallel kinetic resolution

An efficient approach to 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles has been uncovered and is based on an oxidative rearrangement of a furanyl carbamate followed by sequential reaction of the resulting 5-methoxypyrrol-2(5H)-one with various alkyl lithiates. The final step of the procedure involves heating the ring opened 1-methoxy-5-oxopentylcarbamate with a primary amine. The overall process can be carried out under mild conditions and complements existing methods to prepare 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
