Chiral δ-iodo-γ-lactones derived from cuminaldehyde, 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde and piperonal: chemoenzymatic synthesis and antiproliferative activity
摘要:
Six enantiomeric pairs of beta-aryl-delta-iodo-gamma-lactones 8a-c, 9a-c derived from cuminaldehyde, 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde and piperonal were synthesized with high enantiomeric purities (ee 93-99%) from enantiomerically enriched allyl alcohols 3a-c. The key step in the synthesis of lactones 8a and 9a was the kinetic resolution of racemic (E)-4-(4'-isopropylphenyl)but-3-en-2-ol 3a by a lipase-catalysed transesterification. Among the five tested enzymes, the most effective and enantioselective was lipase B from Candida antarctica and after 2 h (-)-(S)-alcohol 3a and (+)-(R)-propionate 5 were obtained with ee's >= 99%. The transfer of chirality from alcohols (S)-3a-c and (R)-3a-c to gamma,delta-unsaturated esters (S)-6a-c and (R)-6a-c via a stereoselective Johnson-Claisen rearrangement followed by hydrolysis and iodolactonization afforded the final lactones 8a-c and 9a-c. The configurations of their stereogenic centres were assigned based on crystallographic analysis and/or the iodolactonization mechanism. In 42 of 48 tests, the synthesized lactones showed antiproliferative activity against four selected cancer lines (Jurkat, D17, GL-1, CLBL-1). The trans-stereoisomers were more active than the cis-stereoisomers and the highest activity was found for lactone (-)-trans-(4S,5R,6S)-9c with a 1,3-benzodioxole substituent and both enantiomers of the trans-lactone with a 2,5-dimethylphenyl substituent: (+)-9b and (-)-9b. Among the trans-lactones, those with a (4S,5R,6S)-configuration exhibited higher activity than their enantiomers and the most significant difference was observed for the enantiomers of the trans-lactone with a 1,3-benzodioxole substituent 9c (IC50 = 5.29 and 5.08 vs 36.47 and 33.77 for Jurkat and GL-1 cancer lines respectively).

enable access to eitherenantiomer of allylboronate product from a single enantiomer of readily prepared allylic pivalate substrate. Excellent functional group tolerance, yields, regioselectivities, and stereochemical fidelities are observed. The stereochemical switch from stereoretention to stereoinversion largely depends upon solvent and can be explained by competitive pathways for the oxidative
