Alternative One-Pot Synthesis of (Trifluoromethyl)phenyldiazirines from Tosyloxime Derivatives: Application for New Synthesis of Optically Pure Diazirinylphenylalanines for Photoaffinity Labeling
Alternative one-pot synthesis of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-phenyldiazirine derivativesfrom corresponding tosyloximes is developed. The deprotonation of intermediate diaziridine by NH2– is a new approach for construction of diazirine. Moreover, a novel synthesis of opticallypure (trifluoromethyl)diazirinylphenylalanine derivatives was attempted involving these methods.

Although aryl(trifluoromethyl)diazirines have achieved great popularity in photoaffinity labeling applications, the properties of the corresponding carbenes have not been as widely explored. Here, low-temperature matrix-isolation spectroscopy and reactivity studies indicate that in contrast to m-methoxyphenyl(trifluoromethyl)carbene and most known aryl(CF(3))carbenes, the para isomer is a ground-state
gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are postsynaptic membrane protein complexes that are important not only in the regulation of the nervous system but also as targets of drugs and insecticides. We synthesized a photoreactive straight-chain noncompetitive antagonist (NCA), 2-nitro-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)3H- diazirin-3-yl]phenyl 4-(4-methoxycarbonyl-1-butynyl)benzoate (NMB), to probe the NCA binding site. Our data show that this probe labels the NCA site and demonstrate that the NCA insecticide fipronil binds at a site distinct from that of other NCAs, such as picrotoxinin and 4'-ethynyl-4-n-propyl-bicycloorthobenzoate. The unique molecule NMB will be useful in identifying the cross-linking site of straight-chain NCAs in GABA receptors and mapping allosteric binding sites. Such studies should provide invaluable information in designing novel NCAs. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A Novel Family of Aromatic Diazirines for Photoaffinity Labeling
A series Of simple methods for modifying diazirines bearing an aromatic ring has been accomplished. This first versatile approach involving direct substitution on the aromatic ring of diazirines has been achieved by means of the aromatic thallation of (alkoxyphenyl)diazirines. Introduction of the thallium moiety was successfully followed by nitration, iodination, or palladium-catalyzed carbonylation to give a family of substituted aryldiazirines useful for photolabeling. For instance, diazirines labeled with a nitro group can be detected by spectrophotometric methods, and those labeled with an iodo group can be useful in tracer experiments. The (methoxyphenyl)diazirines were also found to be stable under certain demethylation conditions, thus providing a potential source of diazirines with modifiable phenol hydroxyl groups. By means of this approach, a spacer arm to link diazirines with ligands was readily introduced. Radioactive diazirines labeled with carbon-14 or tritium were also prepared using this method. All the new diazirines were derived from a pair of simple (methoxyphenyl)diazirines. The ease of derivatization of the (alkoxyphenyl)diazirines described here may offer a practical approach to simplify the time-consuming methods currently used for diazirine synthesis.
