Scope and Mechanism of Deprotection of Carboxylic Esters by Bis(tributyltin) Oxide
摘要:
Methyl and ethyl esters of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids as well as benzyl carboxylates, thiol esters and double esters such as (pivaloyloxy)methyl carboxylates have been successfully cleaved with bis(tributyltin) oxide to give the free carboxylic acids in good yields. The reaction is carried out in aprotic solvents under essentially neutral conditions and thus this method can serve as an ideal procedure for the cleavages of esters with other functional groups and/or protecting groups acid and/or base sensitive. We demonstrated that the reaction displays a high level of chemoselectivity between methyl and ethyl esters versus tert-butyl esters and gamma-lactones. Bis(tributyltin) oxide is also a highly efficient reagent for the cleavage of acetates of primary and secondary alcohols and phenols. The limitations we found in the use of this reagent include the lack. of cleavage of esters sterically hindered around the carboxyl carbon and the carbinol group (i.e., esters of tertiary alcohols) and in carboxylic esters that contain a fluoroalkyl substituent. A resonable mechanistic explanation is discussed to account for the reaction pathway of the acyloxygen cleavage of(-)-(1R)-menthyl acetate.

screened a general library of 29 substrates and a chiral library of 23 pairs of enantiomers. All four hydrolases catalysed the hydrolysis of unnatural substrates, but the two lipases accepted a broader range of substrates than the two esterases. As expected, the two lipases favoured more hydrophobic substrates, while the two esterases showed a preference for smaller substrates. Several moderately enantioselective

Pseudo-tri- and -tetra-peptide aminoalkylphosphinic acids of general structure X-Lys-PO2H-Gly-Ala have been synthesised as transition state analogues for D-Ala-D-Ala adding enzyme. The key synthetic step used to assemble the C-terminal dipeptide unit is a modified Arbusov reaction, coupling bromopropionyl-D-alanine methyl ester to a silylated aminoalkylphosphonite. Kinetic assays with the purified E. coli enzyme reveal that the phosphinate analogues act as reversible competitive inhibitors, with Ki values in the range 200–700 µ>M>. Extended analogues mimicking the peptide chain of the UDPMurNAc-L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-m-DAP substrate show increased binding affinity for the enzyme active site. These are the first reported inhibitors for D-Ala-D-Ala adding enzyme.
