Do enzymes obey the Baldwin rules? A mechanistic imperative in enzymatic cyclization reactions. (1/1346)

The principles formulated for organic ring-closure reactions can be used to develop a hypothesis for analysis of enzyme-catalyzed cyclization reactions.  (+info)

Purification and characterization of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase derived from Bacillus circulans. A crucial carbocyclization enzyme in the biosynthesis of 2-deoxystreptamine-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics. (2/1346)

The biosynthesis of 2-deoxystreptamine, the central aglycon of a major group of clinically important aminoglycoside antibiotics, commences with the initial carbocycle formation step from D-glucose-6-phosphate to 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose. This crucial step is known to be catalyzed by 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase, which has not yet been characterized so far. Reported in this paper is the first purification of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase from butirosin-producing Bacillus circulans SANK 72073 to electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme was isolated as a heterodimeric protein comprising from a 23 kDa- and a 42 kDa polypeptide chains. The Km of the enzyme for D-glucose-6-phosphate was estimated to be 9.0 x 10(-4) M and that for NAD+ 1.7 x 10(-4) M, kcat for D-glucose-6-phosphate being 7.3 x 10(-2) s(-1). The presence of Co2+ was essential for the enzyme activity, but Zn2+ was totally inhibitory. While the reaction mechanisms are quite similar, 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase appears to be distinct from dehydroquinate synthase in the shikimate pathway, with respect to the quaternary structure, metal ion requirement, and the kinetic parameters.  (+info)

Elucidating the mechanism of chain termination switching in the picromycin/methymycin polyketide synthase. (3/1346)

BACKGROUND: A single modular polyketide synthase (PKS) gene cluster is responsible for production of both the 14-membered macrolide antibiotic picromycin and the 12-membered macrolide antibiotic methymycin in Streptomyces venezuelae. Building on the success of the heterologous expression system engineered using the erythromycin PKS, we have constructed an analogous system for the picromycin/methymycin PKS. Through heterologous expression and construction of a hybrid PKS, we have examined the contributions that the PKS, its internal thioesterase domain (pikTE) and the Pik TEII thioesterase domain make in termination and cyclization of the two polyketide intermediates. RESULTS: The picromycin/methymycin PKS genes were functionally expressed in the heterologous host Streptomyces lividans, resulting in production of both narbonolide and 10-deoxymethynolide (the precursors of picromycin and methymycin, respectively). Co-expression with the Pik TEII thioesterase led to increased production levels, but did not change the ratio of the two compounds produced, leaving the function of this protein largely unknown. Fusion of the PKS thioesterase domain (pikTE) to 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS) resulted in formation of only 14-membered macrolactones. CONCLUSIONS: These experiments demonstrate that the PKS alone is capable of catalyzing the synthesis of both 14- and 12-membered macrolactones and favor a model by which different macrolactone rings result from a combination of the arrangement between the module 5 and module 6 subunits in the picromycin PKS complex and the selectivity of the pikTE domain.  (+info)

Heterologous expression, purification, reconstitution and kinetic analysis of an extended type II polyketide synthase. (4/1346)

BACKGROUND: Polyketide synthases (PKSs) are bacterial multienzyme systems that synthesize a broad range of natural products. The 'minimal' PKS consists of a ketosynthase, a chain length factor, an acyl carrier protein and a malonyl transferase. Auxiliary components (ketoreductases, aromatases and cyclases are involved in controlling the oxidation level and cyclization of the nascent polyketide chain. We describe the heterologous expression and reconstitution of several auxiliary PKS components including the actinorhodin ketoreductase (act KR), the griseusin aromatase/cyclase (gris ARO/CYC), and the tetracenomycin aromatase/cyclase (tcm ARO/CYC). RESULTS: The polyketide products of reconstituted act and tcm PKSs were identical to those identified in previous in vivo studies. Although stable protein-protein interactions were not detected between minimal and auxiliary PKS components, kinetic analysis revealed that the extended PKS comprised of the act minimal PKS, the act KR and the gris ARO/CYC had a higher turnover number than the act minimal PKS plus the act KR or the act minimal PKS alone. Adding the tcm ARO/CYC to the tcm minimal PKS also increased the overall rate. CONCLUSIONS: Until recently the principal strategy for functional analysis of PKS subunits was through heterologous expression of recombinant PKSs in Streptomyces. Our results corroborate the implicit assumption that the product isolated from whole-cell systems is the dominant product of the PKS. They also suggest that an intermediate is channeled between the various subunits, and pave the way for more detailed structural and mechanistic analysis of these multienzyme systems.  (+info)

Protein aging hypothesis of Alzheimer disease. (5/1346)

Alzheimer disease (AD), the most common form of aging-related neurodegenerative disorders, is associated with formation of fibrillar deposits of amyloid beta-protein (Abeta). While the direct involvement of Abeta in AD has been well documented, the relations between Abeta production, amyloid formation, and neurodegeneration remain unknown. We propose that AD is initiated by a protein aging-related structural transformation in soluble Abeta. We hypothesize that spontaneous chemical modification of aspartyl residues in Abeta to transient succinimide induces a non-native conformation in a fraction of soluble Abeta, rendering it amyloidogenic and neurotoxic. Conformationally altered Abeta is characterized by increased stability in solution and the presence of a non-native beta-turn that determines folding of Abeta in solution and the structure of Abeta subunits incorporated into amyloid fibrils. While the soluble 'non-native' Abeta is both the factor triggering the neurodegenerative cascade and the precursor of amyloid plaques, these two events result from interaction of Abeta with different sets of cellular components and need not coincide in space and time. Extensive literature data and experimental evidence are provided in support of this hypothesis.  (+info)

Site-directed mutagenesis of squalene-hopene cyclase: altered substrate specificity and product distribution. (6/1346)

BACKGROUND: Two regions of squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC) were examined to define roles for motifs posited to be responsible for initiation and termination of the enzyme-catalyzed polyolefinic cyclizations. Specifically, we first examined the triple mutant of the DDTAVV motif, a region deeply buried in the catalytic cavity and thought to be responsible for the initiation of squalene cyclization. Next, four mutants were prepared for Glu45, a residue close to the substrate entrance channel proposed to be involved in the termination of the cyclization of squalene. RESULTS: The DDTAVV motif in SHC was changed to DCTAEA, the corresponding conserved region of eukaryotic oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), by the triple mutation of D377C/V380E/V381A; selected single mutants were also examined. The triple mutant showed no detectable cyclization of squalene, but effectively cyclized 2,3-oxidosqualene to give mono- and pentacyclic triterpene products. Of the Glu45 mutants, E45A and E45D showed reduced activity, E45Q showed slightly increased activity, and E45K was inactive. A normal yield of pentacyclic products was produced, but the ratio of hopene 2 to hopanol 3 was significantly changed in the less active mutants. CONCLUSIONS: Initiation and substrate selectivity may be determined by the interaction of the DDTAVV motif with the isopropylidene of squalene (for SHC) and of the DCTAEA motif with the epoxide of oxidosqualene (for OSC). This is the first report of a substrate switch determined by a central catalytic motif in a triterpenoid cyclase. At the termination of cyclization, the product ratio may be largely controlled by Glu45 at the entrance channel to the active site.  (+info)

Aureusidin synthase: a polyphenol oxidase homolog responsible for flower coloration. (7/1346)

Aurones are plant flavonoids that provide yellow color to the flowers of some popular ornamental plants, such as snapdragon and cosmos. In this study, we have identified an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of aurone from chalcones in the yellow snapdragon flower. The enzyme (aureusidin synthase) is a 39-kilodalton, copper-containing glycoprotein catalyzing the hydroxylation and/or oxidative cyclization of the precursor chalcones, 2',4',6',4-tetrahydroxychalcone and 2',4',6',3,4-pentahydroxychalcone. The complementary DNA encoding aureusidin synthase is expressed in the petals of aurone-containing varieties. DNA sequence analysis revealed that aureusidin synthase belongs to the plant polyphenol oxidase family, providing an unequivocal example of the function of the polyphenol oxidase homolog in plants, i.e., flower coloration.  (+info)

Intramolecular proton transfer in the cyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to the taxadiene precursor of taxol catalyzed by recombinant taxadiene synthase. (8/1346)

BACKGROUND: The committed step in the biosynthesis of the anticancer drug taxol in yew (Taxus) species is the cyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to taxa-4(5),11(12)-diene. The enzyme taxadiene synthase catalyzes this complex olefin cation cyclization cascade involving the formation of three rings and three stereogenic centers. RESULTS: Recombinant taxadiene synthase was incubated with specifically deuterated substrates, and the mechanism of cyclization was probed using MS and NMR analyses of the products to define the crucial hydrogen migration and terminating deprotonation steps. The electrophilic cyclization involves the ionization of the diphosphate with closure of the A-ring, followed by a unique intramolecular transfer of the C11 proton to the re-face of C7 to promote closure of the B/C-ring juncture, and cascade termination by proton elimination from the beta-face of C5. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide insight into the molecular architecture of the first dedicated step of taxol biosynthesis that creates the taxane carbon skeleton, and they have broad implications for the general mechanistic capability of the large family of terpenoid cyclization enzymes.  (+info)

The Nazarov cyclization is a common synthetic tool in the synthesis of cyclopentenone rings. The reaction is characterized by a divinyl ketone starting reagent that undergoes a 4π-electron electrocyclization after addition of a Lewis/Brønsted acid; forming the cyclopentadienyl cation that undergoes cyclization. An extension of this methodology involves using a divinyl imine starting reagent. This cyclization is less favoured due to the electron donating ability of the nitrogen atom, causing the pentadienyl cation to be relatively stable and unwilling to undergo cyclization. To improve this cyclization, the imine is replaced with the electron withdrawing nitronate functionality. It is hypothesized that by doing so the addition of an acid will form the cyclopentadienyl cation that will readily undergo Nazarov cyclization. The synthesis of an aryl vinyl silyl nitronate was optimized and the compound was tested with a number of different acid catalysts to determine if the nitronate Nazarov ...

A proposed universal monoterpene synthases (cyclases) cyclization mechanism topologically requires an isomerization step of the substrate geranyl diphosphate (GPP) to the formation of the proposed universal intermediate linalyl diphosphate (LPP), which has never been directly observed. The study described here was designed to investigate the cyclization mechanism by studying a model enzyme, (4R)-(+)-limonene synthase ((+)-LS), a monoterpene cyclase that produces (+)-limonene by using substrate GPP. The study synthesized two novel difluorinated substrate analogues, 8,9-difluorogeranyl diphosphate (DFGPP) and 8,9-difluorolinalyl diphosphate (DFLPP), which were designed to retard the cyclization step in order to observe the intermediate at the enzyme active site. Both analogues are proved to be substrates for (+)-LS. Compared to GPP, which has a kcat value of 0.0905 +/- 0.0070 s-1, DFGPP has a reduced kcat value at 0.00144 +/- 0.00002 s-1, showing a 69-fold slower rate in the catalytic reaction. ...

The iodine-catalyzed Prins cyclization of homoallylic alcohols and aldehydes was investigated under metal-free conditions and without additives. Anhydrous conditions and inert atmosphere are not required. The reaction of 2-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)propan-1-ol and 21 aldehydes (aliphatic and aromatic) in CH2Cl2 in the presence of 5 mol % of iodine gave 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[f]isochromenes in 54%-86% yield. Under similar conditions, the Prins cyclization of six alcohols containing an endocyclic double bond (primary, secondary, or tertiary) led to dihydropyrans in 52%-91% yield. The acyclic homoallylic alcohols gave 4-iodo-tetrahydropyran in 29%-41% yield in the presence of 50 mol % of iodine. This type of substrate is the main limitation of the methodology. The relative configuration of the products was assigned by NMR and X-ray analysis. The mechanism and the ratio of the products are discussed, based on DFT calculations.

It seemed plausible that the biosynthesis of Bistellettadine A (9) was proceeding by intermolecular dimerization of the monomeric carboxylic acid corresponding to 7. Barry B. Snider of Brandeis University found (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 828. ) that that intermolecular dimerization did proceed efficiently, but to give a 5:4 mixture of diastereomers. In contrast, the linked diester 7 cyclized with exclusive diastereocontrol. The product 8 was readily carried on to Bistellettadine A 9. This raises the possibility that a chiral template, attached either covalently or through salt formation, could be designed that would direct the absolute configuration of the cycloaddition.. ...
In this review James C. Collins and Keith James from the Scripps Research Institute critically analyse macrocyclization reactions published over the last three years. Based upon on this analysis, and first-hand experience of macrocyclization, Collins and James propose a macrocyclization efficiency index, Emac, as a means of determining the true efficiency of a macrocyclization reaction.. Emac takes into account both reaction yield and concentration, which Collins & James state addresses the key factors that determine the practicality of using a given reaction in a drug discovery context. In other words, the Emac for a reaction indicates the likelihood of being able to conduct the reaction on a sufficiently large scale whilst remaining resource efficient.. This index also allows comparison of a large number of literature macrocyclization reactions and identifies those which deliver the powerful combination of high yield and high practicality. Collins and James hope that those who are actively ...

When an aromatic ring-substituted alkyne was used, 2-furanone derivatives were selectively obtained via 5-exo-dig cyclization, whereas the reaction of alkyl-substituted alkynes produced 2-pyrone derivatives with high selectivity..

Oxidative photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reactions have been performed with various silyl enol ethers and silyloxy-2H-chromones bearing an olefinic or silylacetylenic side chain, The reactions result in regioselective ring closure with the formation of bi- to tetracyclic ring systems with a well-defined ring juncture, e.g. perhydrophenanthrenones 13 or benzo-annellated xanthenones 24. Our investigations have focussed on the optimization of this cyclization method with regard to irradiation time and product yield. The irradiation times could be reduced by using the cosensitized PET method. Modifying the substrate at the silyl group led to enhanced yields. In addition, we found that solvent and pressure dependences are important tools, allowing control of the regiochemistry. Both the synthesis of 6-endo products by radical cationic reaction pathways, as well as 5-exo ring closure by radical intermediates was achieved. Mechanistic details, including findings from deuterium labelling ...

I. The acid catalyzed reactions of certain 1,5-epoxyolefins. The monoxides of a number of 1,5-dienes were prepared and treated with a variety of acidic reagents known to induce cyclization of the parent diolefins. In all cases the major reaction observed was the isomerization of the epoxide to a carbonyl function. No cyclic products were observed. These results are discussed in terms of the general requirements for cyclization.. II. The alkylative cyclization of 1,5-hexadiene The alkylation of 1,5 -hexadiene with t-butyl chloride in the presence of aluminum trichloride was studied. The major monomeric reaction products were cyclic, and both the t-butylcyclohexane and neopentylcyclopentane skeletons were identified among them. Formation of the latter ring system appeared to be slightly favored over formation of the six-membered ring. This preference is undoubtedly due to both steric and electronic factors.. III. The acid catalyzed cyclization of cis, cis- and trans, trans-2,6-octadiene. Both cis, ...
In organic chemistry, an electrocyclic reaction is a type of pericyclic rearrangement where the net result is one pi bond being converted into one sigma bond or vice versa. These reactions are usually categorized by the following criteria: Reactions can be either photochemical or thermal. Reactions can be either ring-opening or ring-closing (electrocyclization). Depending on the type of reaction (photochemical or thermal) and the number of pi electrons, the reaction can happen through either a conrotatory or disrotatory mechanism. The type of rotation determines whether the cis or trans isomer of the product will be formed. The Nazarov cyclization reaction is a named electrocyclic reaction converting divinylketones to cyclopentenones. A classic example is the thermal ring-opening reaction of 3,4-dimethylcyclobutene. The cis isomer exclusively yields cis,trans-2,4-hexadiene whereas the trans isomer gives the trans,trans diene: This reaction course can be explained in a simple analysis through the ...

This programme of work has focused at developing novel cyclisation reactions in order to furnish a variety of carbocyclic ring systems. The formation of these ring systems have all been based around a key cyclisation step, which has involved a novel intramolecular Nicholas reaction. The use of organcobalt clusters for our work is based around the Nicholas reaction which is the reaction of cobalt complexed propargyl alcohol/ethers with a Lewis acid. This provides an in situ cobalt stabilised carbocation that can be reacted with a range of nucleophiles to provide alkylated products. The first chapter reviews tandem cyclisation reactions and their role in organic chemistry. This is followed by a review of the chemistry of organocobalt clusters and the following chapter reports the results of our investigations. The initial investigation followed existing studies, carried out at Kingston University, in an attempted synthesis of bicycle(4:4:0)decanes. These fused carbocycles represent the AB ring ...

The importance of dynamics in simple reactions is made yet again in a recent study by Doubleday and Houk in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.1 They looked at the reaction of acetylene or ethylene with either nitrous oxide, diazonioazanide, or methanediazonium. The transition state for these 6 reactions all show a concerted reaction. The transition vector has three major components; (a) symmetric formation/cleavage of the two new σ bonds, (b) bending of the dipolar component, or (c) symmetric bending of the hydrogens of ethylene or acetylene.. Classical trajectories were traced from the transition state back to reactant and forward to product. In the approach of the two fragments, the dipole bend vibrates, but then after the TS, it needs to bend quickly to close the 5-member ring. This means that the bending mode effectively has to turn a corner in phase space, and without energy in this mode, the molecules will simple bounce off of each other. Analysis of the reactants indicates significant ...

Steric effects are important in synthesis. Whilst steric hindrance is well known in hindering reactions, steric effects can also be employed to accelerate reactions, in particular cycloaddition reactions, and even to promote reactions that otherwise do not occur. A survey is included in previous work on steric effects in chemical reactions, principally cycloadditions. This includes a brief discussion on the importance of orientation and solvent effects on Diels-Alder cyclisations and ene reactions. The effect of substituents on the cyclisation of N-allyl furfurylamines has been studied. It was shown that bulky N-protecting groups enhance cyclisation, an effective buttress being the trityl (triphenylmethyl) group. The latter has the added advantage of being particularly easy to remove. A study of some ene reactions has also been carried out and steric acceleration of these processes has also been observed. A novel reaction involving an intermolecular cycloaddition followed by a sterically ...
The dissertation herein describes the first total synthesis of the complex Daphniphyllum alkaloid, (-)-calyciphylline N. This alkaloid was chosen as the target in our synthetic program due its unprecedented structure, the inherent challenges associated with its synthesis, and limited reports of synthetic studies towards members of this family of natural products. An initial unsuccessful approach is discussed, followed by a revised, ultimately successful approach. Highlights of the synthesis include a substrate controlled, intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to build the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane core and set four contiguous stereocenters, a transannular enolate alkylation to secure ring D, a highly efficient Stille carbonylation/Nazarov cyclization sequence to construct ring E with concomitant activation of a hindered silyl group towards Fleming-Tamao oxidation, and an unprecedented, homogeneous hydrogenation of an exceptionally hindered diene ester to complete the eastern hemisphere, a structural motif that

This video was recorded at CHEM 125b: Freshman Organic Chemistry II. Cyclic conjugation that arises when p-orbitals touch one another can be as important for transition states as aromaticity is for stable molecules. It is the controlling factor in pericyclic reactions. Regiochemistry, stereochemistry, and kinetics show that two new sigma bonds are being formed simultaneously, if not symmetrically, in the 6-electron Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Although thermal dimerization of thymine residues in DNA is forbidden, photochemistry allows the 4-electron cycloaddition. Electrocyclic ring opening or closing chooses a conrotatory Möbius pathway, or a disrotatory Hückel pathway, according to the number of electron pairs involved and whether light is used in the process. Dewar benzene provides an example of a very unstable molecule that can be formed photochemically and then persists because of unfavorable orbital overlap in the transition state for ring opening ...

Photochemical cleavage reactions have found a widespread used in biological applications that require the photorelease of biologically active molecules such as proteins, peptides, neurotransmitters, and nucleotide phosphates. This research focuses on the design of photoremovable protecting groups which can be utilized to release these biomolecules by photolysis. These biomolecules are attached to the photoremovable protecting group at the sites of functional groups that are present within these substrates. Such functional groups are carboxylates, phosphates, thiolates, or phenolates, which upon exposure to light, are released as anions of varying basicities. The photochemical reaction involved is an electrocyclic ring closure between aromatic groups that are bridged by a carboxamide linkage. The key intermediate produced by electrocyclization is thought to have zwitterionic character. This zwitterionic intermediate is believed to expel the leaving group as the anion. One of the aromatic groups attached
The research developed in this Doctoral Thesis comprises from the preparation of polyaromatic compounds to the synthesis of natural product derivatives, highlighting the proficiency of homogeneous gold catalysis for the construction of molecular diversity.. A novel approach for the synthesis of a new trindane-based crushed fullerene C60 was developed by a threefold palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of four suitably functionalized C15 trindene fragments. The trindane C15 skeleton of the central motif was constructed through a triple gold(I)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization.. The scope of the intramolecular gold(I)-catalyzed formal [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction was extended to O-protected homopropargylic and allylic oxo-1,5-enynes. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the cyclization of (Z)- and (E)- isomers takes place with moderate to excellent yield and increased selectivity in most of the cases, providing access to octahydro-1H-indenes skeletons.. The mastery of gold(I) complexes for the ...
TY - BOOK. T1 - Solid-Phase Iminium Cyclization Reactions for the Synthesis of Natural Product-Like Diketopiperazines. AU - Petersen, Rico. PY - 2012. Y1 - 2012. N2 - The development of methodology for the solid-phase synthesis of fused 2,5-diketopiperazines with an emphasis on structural and stereochemical control, has been accomplished through two different approaches. The first approach was based on a highly trans-stereoselective (82% d.e.) intramolecular N-acyliminium ion cyclization of N-terminal peptide glyoxylamides, assembling the complete molecular skeleton in a single step. The second approach aimed for the use of a cis-stereoselective intermolecular Pictet-Spengler cyclization to construct the first part of the ringsystem and a subsequent diketopiperazine formation to close the second ring. In the first approach, four different methods for accessing the glyoxylamide cyclization precursor were developed; oxidative cleavage of a serine, dihydroxylation/oxidative cleavage of an ...

AU - Turro, Nicholas J.. AU - Cha, Yuan. AU - Gould, Ian. PY - 1986. Y1 - 1986. N2 - Methyl nitrile ylide was generated by both a photochemical and desilylation route and has been characterized by UV spectroscopy and by its kinetic and cycloaddition behavior. The dipole is formed by the addition of singlet methylene to acetonitrile and shows a strong transient absorption at 280 nm which is quenched by the addition of standard dipolarophiles. The relative rates of formation of 1,3-dipolar adducts and the relative rates of quenching of the transient absorption are in excellent agreement. Generation of the dipole from a silylthioimidate followed by dipolar cycloaddition also gave rise to related cycloadducts. The ratio of cycloadducts obtained from an unsymmetrically substituted dipolarophile was found ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - A Planning Strategy for Diversity-Oriented Synthesis. AU - Burke, Martin D.. AU - Schreiber, Stuart L.. PY - 2004/12/22. Y1 - 2004/12/22. N2 - In contrast to target-oriented synthesis (TOS) and medicinal or combinatorial chemistry, which aim to access precise or dense regions of chemistry space, diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) populates chemical space broadly with small-molecules having diverse structures. The goals of DOS include the development of pathways leading to the efficient (three- to five-step) synthesis of collections of small molecules having skeletal and stereochemical diversity with defined coordinates in chemical space. Ideally, these pathways also yield compounds having the potential to attach appendages site- and stereoselectively to a variety of attachment sites during a post-screening, maturation stage. The diverse skeletons and stereochemistries ensure that the appendages can be positioned in multiple orientations about the surface of the molecules. TOS as ...
Stereogenic-at-Mo monoalkoxide and monoaryloxide complexes promote enyne ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions, affording the corresponding endo products with high selectivity (typically ,98:,2 endo:exo). All catalysts can be prepared and used in situ. Five-, six-, and seven-membered rings are obtained through reactions with enyne substrates that bear all-carbon tethers as well as those that contain heteroatom substituents. The newly developed catalytic protocols complement the related exo-selective Ru-catalyzed processes. In cases where Ru-based complexes deliver exo and endo products nondiscriminately, such as when tetrasubstituted cyclic alkenes are generated, Mo-catalyzed reactions afford the endo product exclusively. The efficiency of synthesis of N- and O-containing endo diene heterocycles can be improved significantly through structural modification of Mo catalysts. The modularity of Mo-based monopyrrolides is thus exploited in the identification of the most effective catalyst variants. ...

An enantioselective total synthesis of zampanolide has been accomplished using a novel DDQ/Brønsted acid promoted cyclization as the key reaction. The synthesis features cross-metathesis to construct the trisubstituted olefin and a ring-closing metathesis to form the macrolactone. The final N-acyl aminal formation was stereoselectively accomplished by an organocatalytic reaction.
Denitrogenative 6-endo-dig azide-yne cyclization of α-propargyloxy-β-haloalkylazides was enabled by gold catalysis, thus providing 2H-1,3-oxazines. This rare cyclization mode in gold-catalyzed reactions of azide-yne substrates was demonstrated to be facilitated and controlled by electronic and resonance effects of the alkyne substituents. Molecular transformations of the as-prepared 2H-1,3-oxazines were also investigated.
This Mouse Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase-like protein (QPCTL) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate QPCTL.,QPCTL; FLJ20084; glutaminyl cyclase-like,QPCTL, also termed Iso-glutaminyl cyclase catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamine residues into pyroglutamic acid with liberation of ammonia and the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamate residues into pyroglutamic acid with liberation of water. Glutaminyl cyclase (QPCT) catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamine residues into pyroglutamic acid liberating ammonia. In contrast, the physiological function of the plant QC is less clear. In case of the enzyme from C. papaya, a role in the plant defence against pathogenic microorganisms was suggested. Putative QCs from other plants were identified by sequence comparisons. The physiological function of these enzymes, however, is still ambiguous.
Pascal begins with the assumption that terminal aryl substitution on the enediyne will both (a) inhibit the C1-C6 cyclization due to steric interactions and (b) the C1-C5 cyclization should be enhanced due to stabilization of the radical by the neighboring aryl group. He computed the activation energies of a series of analogues, some of which are listed in Table 1. The transition state structures are shown in Figure 1 for 1b and 1c. Phenyl substitution does accomplish both suggestions: the activation barrier for the Bergman cyclization increases by 4 kcal mol-1, while the barrier for the C1-C5 cyclization is lowered by nearly 6 kcal mol-1. Further substitution of the phenyl ring by either chloro or methyl groups brings the barriers into near degeneracy.. Table 1. RBLYP/6-31G(d) Activation energies (kcal mol-1) ...

Abstract: The mechanisms of cycloaddition reactions of singlet dibromocarbene and formaldehyde have been studied using density functional theory of quantum chemistry method at B3LYP/6-31G* level. The geometrical parameters, harmonic vibrational frequencies and energies of stationary points on the potential energy surface are calculated. The structures of the stationary points were optimized, and the intermediates and transition states were detected by the frequency analysis. The calculation results show that the reaction has four possible reaction pathways. According to the data of the activation energy, we predict that path c would be the major reactive channel of the cycloaddition reactions of singlet dibromocarbene with formaldehyde, which proceeds in three steps and the energy barrier for the key step is 13.7 kJ·mol-1.

We developed an efficient, stereoselective synthetic method for the diketopiperazine moiety of neoechinulin A and its derivatives. The intramolecular cyclization at 80 ºC proceeded with minimal racemization of the stereogenic center at C-12 on neoechinulin A, even though the cyclization at 110 ºC caused partial racemization. In contrast with these results, the cyclization on diketopiperazine of 8,9-dihydroneoechinulin A derivatives did not cause epimerization of the stereogenic centers, even at 110 °C. We examined the structure-activity relationships for the cytoprotective activity against cytotoxicity induced by 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) in nerve growth factor (NGF)-differentiated PC12 cells. The C-8/C-9 double bond, but not the stereogenic center derived from alanine, was found to play a key role in the cytoprotective activity.

ADP-ribosyl cyclases catalyze the transformation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into the calcium-mobilizing nucleotide second messenger cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADP-ribose) by adenine N1-cyclization onto the C-1 position of NAD+. The invertebrate Aplysia californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase is unusual among this family of enzymes by acting exclusively as a cyclase, whereas the other members, such as CD38 and CD157, also act as NAD+ glycohydrolases, following a partitioning kinetic mechanism. To explore the intramolecular cyclization reaction, the novel nicotinamide 2-fluoroadenine dinucleotide (2-fluoro-NAD+) was designed as a sterically very close analogue to the natural substrate NAD+, with only an electronic perturbation at the critical N1 position of the adenine base designed to impede the cyclization reaction. 2-Fluoro-NAD+ was synthesized in high yield via Lewis acid catalyzed activation of the phosphoromorpholidate derivative of 2-fluoroadenosine 5-monophosphate and coupling

Oxidative cyclizations of a variety of heteroatom nucleophiles onto unactivated olefins are catalyzed by palladium(II) and pyridine in the presence of molecular oxygen as the sole stoichiometric oxidant in a nonpolar solvent (toluene). Reactivity studies of a number of N-ligated palladium complexes show that chelating ligands slow the reaction. Nearly identical conditions are applicable to five different types of nucleophiles: phenols, primary alcohols, carboxylic acids, a vinylogous acid, and amides. Electron-rich phenols are excellent substrates, and multiple olefin substitution patterns are tolerated. Primary alcohols undergo oxidative cyclization without significant oxidation to the aldehyde, a fact that illustrates the range of reactivity available from various Pd(II) salts under differing conditions. Alcohols can form both fused and spirocyclic ring systems, depending on the position of the olefin relative to the tethered alcohol; the same is true of the acid derivatives. The racemic ...
In an effort to make diverse molecular complexity from simple hydrocarbons, tricarbonyl(cyclohexadienyl)iron(+1) cation was prepared in two steps from 1, 3-cycloxehadiene. Reactivity of the symmetric iron cation with heteroatom nucleophiles and stabilized carbon nucleophiles was studied. Nucleophilic attack of potassium phthalimide at the dienyl terminus of the cation followed by oxidative decomplexation with Ce4+ provided the ligand N-(2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-yl)phthalimide. A series of stereochemically diverse polyhydroxyl aminocyclohexane aminocyclitols derivatives and a number of racemic and optically active hydroxy-and polyhydroxy 1,3-diaminocyclohexane derivatives have been synthesized from N-(2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-yl)phthalimide. The relative stereochemistries of the compounds ware assigned on the basis of the 1H NMR data as well as X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. In a similar attempt tricabonyl(η5-6-styrylcyclohepta-2,4-diene-1-yl)iron(+1) cation was synthesized in three steps from 1,

Medvedev, et al. have examined the cyclization step in the formation of Spinosyn A, which is catalyzed by the putative Diels-Alderase enzyme SpnF.1 This work follows on the computational study done by Houk, Singleton and co-workers,2 which I have discussed in this post (Dynamics in a reaction where a [6+4] and [4+2] cycloadditons compete). In fact, I recommend that you read the previous post before continuing on with this one. In summary, Houk, et al. found that a single transition state connects reactant 1 to both 2 and 3. The experimental product with the enzyme SpnF is 3. In the absence of enzyme, Houk, et al. suggest that reactions will cross the bispericyclic transition state TS-BPC (TS1 in the previous post) leading primarily to 2, which then undergoes a Cope rearrangement to get to product 3. Some molecules will follow pathways that go directly to 3 ...
Conjugated dienes exist in two conformation called s-cis and s-trans. They interconvert freely in open-chain dienes, by single bond rotation, but may not be able to in some cyclic cases. For the Diels-Alder reaction to occur, the s-cis conformation needs to be present, so the two carbons of the alkene can connect to both of them simultaneously. The reaction occurs in a single step during which the pi electrons reorganize through a cyclic transition state, forming two new single bonds to the ends of the diene. It is one of the reactions among a larger class called cycloaddition, and cycloaddition falls into a broader class called pericyclic - reactions which involve no intermediate, only a cyclic reorganization of electrons. Good yields of Diels-Alder products are obtained when the dienophile (alkene) has electron-withdrawing groups, often carbonyl groups, ester groups or cyano groups. Maleic anhydride is often used as a dienophile. ...
Oxidosqualene cyclases are a group of enzymes that cyclize 2,3-oxidosqualene to any of over 80 triterpene skeletons. Sequence correlation suggests these enzymes share a common overall structure and subtle changes in active site residues are responsible for differences in the structure of the cyclization product. Further characterization of conserved residues has lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which regio- and stereo-selective cyclization occurs. This work has resulted in the cloning of three new oxidosqualene cyclases. By cloning triterpene synthases from far-diverged organisms, new sequence data has been added for correlation and has provided new information regarding evolution of the enzymes from a common ancestor. Arabidopsis thaliana lupeol synthase was cloned and the full-length cDNA expressed in yeast. Degenerate PCR primers designed from regions of highly conserved sequence were used to clone cycloartenol synthase and a presently uncharacterized triterpene ...
Polyesters have been used for many biomedical applications ranging from sutures to drug delivery vehicles. However, their bulk degradation results in an accumulation of acidic byproducts, which is detrimental to the human body. In order to circumvent this problem, as well as to impart new properties and functions to polymers for biomedical applications, poly(ester amide)s (PEAs) have been proposed as a different class of biodegradable polymers. However, up to date, there exists no way to stimulate the degradation of these polymers. The Gillies research group has previously incorporated self-immolative spacers into polymers and has been able to stimulate their degradation by adding the appropriate trigger. The objective of this thesis was to incorporate amino acids capable of 1,5-cyclization into the PEA backbone such that upon activation of the functional moiety, a 1,5-cyclization was induced, leading to degradation of the PEA backbone. PEAs containing L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid and DL-homocysteine were
A carbohydrate-based synthesis of both cis- and trans-fused bicylic ethers has been achieved by radical cyclization of epoxides using a transition-metal radical source. Thus, 6-exo radical cyclizations of the carbohydrate derivatives using [bis(cyclopentadienyl) titanium(III)]chloride (Cp2TiCl) as the radical source has resulted in corresponding cis- and trans-fused bicyclic ethers. While the trans-fused compound has allowed stereoselective radical cyclization, the cis-fused has ended up only in a mixture of isomers. The functionalities present in the bicyclic compounds are potential intermediates as multifunctional conformationally rigid scaffolds ...
Enantioselective approaches, where the stereocontrol of the cyclization is not governed by a stereocentre already in the cyclization precursor, have received much less attention than the diastereoselective, racemic or achiral version of the PS reaction. It was shown in 1996 that the PS reaction could be effected with superstoichiometric Lewis acid - in this case the cyclization of the (Z)-nitrone derived from Nb-hydroxytryptamine using diisopinocampheylchloroborane (Ipc2BCl) to give the corresponding tetrahydro-β-carboline products (Scheme Nakagawa 1998).(10.1016/0957-4166(96)00134-6 and 10.1021/jo980810h) The racemic cyclization could be effected with Bronsted acid and a number of achiral Lewis acids, but it was found that Ipc2BCl gave high yields and ee with reduced temperatures. Lowering the quantity of Ipc2BCl to 0.5 eq. caused a significant reduction of yield, while attempts to alter the Lewis acidity by substitution of the chloride (with e.g. fluoride or triflate) did not improve yield or ...

Although the [2 + 2] cycloaddition of alkenes and ketenes to form cyclobutanones is one of the few general methods for the construction of four-membered rings, the intramolecular version of this reaction had been little explored when we started work in this area in the early 1980s.109 These reactions differ from most other pericyclic reactions in that the ketene is a reactive intermediate, which will either rapidly form a cyclobutanone or decompose. The yield is determined by the relative rate of these two processes. Alkenyloxyketenes were chosen for the initial exploratory work because the alkenyloxy carboxylic acids were easily prepared by alkylation of unsaturated alcohols with α-bromo carboxylic acids. The electronic effects of the alkyl substituents on the alkene control the regiochemistry of the cycloaddition and the yield depends on the balance between the nucleophilicity of the alkene and steric hindrance.83,90,109 Leading bond formation occurs between the electrophilic carbonyl carbon ...

A synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of porphyrins containing between one and four stereogenic centers, such that their molecular weights vary only as a result of methyl groups which give the chiral forms. The low-dimensional nanoscale aggregates of these compounds Reveal the profound effects of this varying molecular chirality on their supramolecular structure and optical activity. The number of stereogenic centers influences significantly the self-assembly and chiral structure of the aggregates of porphyrin molecules described here. A scanning tunneling microscopy study of monolayers on graphite shows that the degree of structural chirality with respect to the surface increases almost linearly with the number of stereogenic centers, and only one handedness is formed in the monolayers, whereas the achiral compound forms a mixture of mirror-image domains at the surface. In solution, four hydrogen bonds induce the formation of an H-aggregate, and circular dichroism measurements ...
Fabio Aricò has started working in the field of Green Chemistry in 2005 after being awarded his Ph.D. at Reading University and post-doc position at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA. He is now associate professor of organic chemistry at Ca Foscari University, Venice, Italy. His research interest within Green Chemistry is to develop innovative reaction pathways focussing on chlorine-free synthetic approaches via dialkyl carbonate (DAC) chemistry. Fabio Aricò has exploited dialkyl carbonates chemistry in the phosgene-free synthesis of carbonates and carbamates with potential applications as monomers for polycarbonate/polyurethane. He also contributed to demonstrate that DACs are highly selective alkylating agents that can be used in substitution of alkyl halides and dimethyl sulphate for alkylation of numerous nitrogen and oxygen substrates. He has reported on the DAC-mediated cyclization reactions can be used as sacrificial molecules in cyclization reaction instead of halogenated compound. As a result, ...
Three synthetic methodologies are studied in details in this dissertation. For 1,5-hydride shift of alkenyl sulfoximine methodology, the reaction mechanism was studied using deuterium labeling. An uncommon 6-endo-trig 1,5-hydride shift process was discovered. The scope and limitation were studied using N-alkyl, N-allyl, and N-benzyl-substituted S-alkenyl sulfoximines. N-H-S-alkyl sulfoximines, four- and six-membered heterocyclic rings and a new class of chiral dienes were obtained. In [4+3] cycloaddition and ring opening chapter, we demonstrated an ene-like reaction using a symmetric oxyallylic cation can provide α-substituted cyclopentenones. Enantio pure products are potentially accessible by this method. [4+3] Cycloaddition of the symmetric oxyallylic cation with substituted furans, and the ring-opening process of the resulting 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one were also studied. The reaction conditions and scope were investigated. An acid-catalyzed mechanism was proposed for the ...
The thermal cyclisation of enediynes to benzene-1,4-diyl diradicals (Bergman cyclisation) is affected by geometrical and electronic conditions. While the effect of ring strain or conformational constrains on the cyclisation temperature has been investigated in detail, electronic contributions have been less studied. Often geometrical and electronic contributions cannot be clearly distinguished. In most cases metal ion chelation does involve both. In this review we have summarised clear-cut observations of electronic substituents effects on the thermal enediyne reactivity. The effects of substituents in the vinylic and terminal alkyne position, the influence of benzo-fusion and hetarene fusion, as well as the changes induced by heteroatoms in the enediyne skeleton, are within the scope of this review. With the exception of more complex heterocyclic hetarene-fused enediynes the experimental data of electronic substituent effects on the thermal Bergman cyclisation of enediynes follow theoretical ...
The Diels-Alder reaction is the reaction between a conjugated diene and an alkene (dienophile) to form unsaturated six-membered rings. Since the reaction involves the formation of a cyclic product via a cyclic transition state, it is also referred to as a cycloaddition. The Diels-Alder reaction is an electrocyclic reaction, which involves [4+2]‑cycloaddition of 4 π-electrons of the conjugated diene and 2 π-electrons of the dienophile (an alkene or alkyne). The reaction involves the formation of new σ-bonds, which are energetically more stable than the π-bonds. This reaction has great synthetic importance and was discovered by two German chemists, Otto Diels and Kurt Alder in 1928. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1950.1 ...
Sumanirole (PNU-95,666) is a highly selective D2 receptor full agonist, the first of its kind to be discovered. It was developed for the treatment of Parkinsons disease and restless leg syndrome. While it has never been approved for medical use it is a highly valuable tool compound for basic research to identify neurobiological mechanisms that are based on a dopamine D2-linked (vs. D1, D3, D4, and D5-linked) mechanism of action. In 2004, Pfizer announced the end of their clinical development program for sumanirole, citing recent studies that failed to sufficiently distinguish sumanirole from currently available therapies.
