Fluorine-substituted dihydrobicyclomycins: Synthesis and biochemical and biological properties
摘要:
Many studies show that selective introduction of fluorine within pharmacological agents leads to improved activities. In this study, we determine the effects of aryl fluorine substitution in 5a-(benzylsulfanyl)-dihydrobicyclomycin (3) on the in vitro inhibition of Escherichia coli rho-dependent ATPase activity. Compound 3 is an analog of bicyclomycin (1), which is the only known selective inhibitor of rho, and I and 3 have comparable in vitro inhibitory activities. We demonstrate that aryl fluorine substitution of 3 leads to increase in inhibitory activity but that the beneficial effects due to fluorine were dependent upon the site and number of fluorine substituents. The bioactivitics are rationalized in terms of the bond moment created by the aryl fluoride bond within the 5a-aryl dihydrobicyclomycin-rho-binding pocket. Use of this hypothesis led to file design of dihydrobicyclomycin derivatives with superior in vitro rho inhibitory activities. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Reaction of activated alcohols with neat thioacetic acid catalyzed by HBF4 provides a convenient entry into thioacetates, protected version of the corresponding thiols; the generation of intermediate acetates and thionoacetates and the mechanism of their further conversion to the final products has been fully rationalized.

for preparing benzylaryl thioethers utilizing an in situ deprotection of benzyl thioacetates as an alternative to free thiols as starting materials has been developed and optimized. Good to excellent yields of diverse benzylaryl thioethers are obtained with air-stable, odor-free, and easy to prepare thioesters. A one-pot protocol for forming benzylaryl thioethers from a benzylhalide, potassium thioacetate
