Late-Stage Molecular Editing Enabled by Ketone Chain-Walking Isomerization.

ABSTRACT: Herein, a method for the isomerization of ketones in a manner akin to the chain-walking reaction of alkenes is described. Widely available and inexpensive pyrrolidine and elemental sulfur are deployed as catalysts to achieve this reversible transformation. Key to the utility of this approach was the elucidation of a stereochemical model to determine the thermodynamically favored product of the reaction and the kinetic selectivity observed. With the distinct selectivity profile of our ketone chain-walking process, the isomerization of various steroids was demonstrated to rapidly access novel steroids with "unnatural" oxidation patterns.

Contra-thermodynamic Olefin Isomerization by Chain-Walking Hydroboration and Dehydroboration.

Project description:We report a dehydroboration process that can be coupled with chain-walking hydroboration to create a one-pot, contra-thermodynamic, short- or long-range isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins. This dehydroboration occurs by a sequence comprising activation with a nucleophile, iodination, and base-promoted elimination. The isomerization proceeds at room temperature without the need for a fluoride base, and the substrate scope of this isomerization is expanded over those of previous isomerizations we have reported with silanes.

SuFEx Click Chemistry Enabled Late-Stage Drug Functionalization.

Project description:Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) is a new family of click chemistry transformations which relies on readily available materials to produce compounds bearing the SVI-F motif. The potential of SuFEx in drug discovery has just started to be explored. We report the first method of SuFEx chemistry for the conversion of phenolic compounds to their respective arylfluorosulfate derivatives in situ in 96-well plates. This method is compatible with automated synthesis and screening to quickly assess the biological activities of the in situ generated, crude products. Using this method, we perform late-stage functionalization of a panel of known anticancer drugs to generate the corresponding arylfluorosulfates. These in situ generated arylfluorosulfates are directly tested in a cancer-cell growth inhibition assay in parallel with their phenolic precursors. We discover three arylfluorosulfates that exhibit improved anticancer cell proliferation activities compared to their phenol precursors. Among these three compounds, the fluorosulfate derivative of Fulvestrant possesses significantly enhanced activity to down-regulate estrogen receptor (ER) expression in ER+ breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and the fluorosulfate derivative of Combretastatin A4-a general anticancer drug currently being evaluated under clinical trials-exhibits a 70-fold increase in potency in the drug resistant colon cancer cell line HT-29.

(NHC)Pd(II) hydride-catalyzed dehydroaromatization by olefin chain-walking isomerization and transfer-dehydrogenation.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed homogeneous dehydrogenation and isomerization are common organic molecular activation reactions. Palladium hydrides are good olefin isomerization catalysts but are usually short-lived species under redox-active dehydrogenation conditions. Here, we show that Pd-H in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and an alkene regulator enables transfer-dehydroaromatization, avoiding the homo-disproportionation pathway. The desired product is obtained with up to 99:1 selectivity, and the exo-to-endo olefin isomerization can be carried out in one pot. In contrast to previously reported methods that rely on the efficient removal of Pd-H, the approach reported herein benefits from the steric effects of the N-heterocyclic carbene and the choice of alkene to regulate the competing reactivity of allylic C‒H activation and hydropalladation. This method circumvents the challenges associated with tedious olefin separation and a low exo-to-endo olefin isomerization ratio and expands the scope to include challenging endo- and exo-cyclic olefins under mild, neutral, and oxidant-free conditions. Overall, herein, we provide a strategy to synthesize (hetero)aromatic compounds via chemoselective dehydrogenation of cyclic alkenes over ketones and the dehydrogenative Diels-Alder reaction of a cyclic enamine.

Late-stage and strain-accelerated oxidation enabled synthesis of haouamine A.

Project description:Herein we report a new synthetic entry to the strained cyclophane alkaloid natural product, haouamine A. The successful strategy featured a rhodium-catalyzed diazo-insertion reaction to install the all-carbon quaternary center and a rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular aziridination reaction to establish the nitrogen-bearing stereocenter, of the target molecule. Most notably, a late-stage, site-selective and strain-accelerated oxidation of a "deoxygenated" macrocyclic intermediate was successfully implemented, and in doing so provided a novel solution to the infamous biphenol cyclophane system of haouamine A.

Late-stage peptide modification and macrocyclization enabled by tertiary amine catalyzed tryptophan allylation.

Project description:Late-stage modification of peptides could potentially endow peptides with significant bioactivity and physicochemical properties, and thereby provide novel opportunities for peptide pharmaceutical studies. Since tryptophan (Trp) bears a unique indole ring residue and plays various critical functional roles in peptides, the modification methods for tryptophan were preliminarily developed with considerable progress via transition-metal mediated C-H activation. Herein, we report an unprecedented tertiary amine catalyzed peptide allylation via the SN2'-SN2' pathway between the N1 position of the indole ring of Trp and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates. Using this method that proceeds under mild conditions, we demonstrated an extremely broad scope of Trp-containing peptides and MBH carbonates to prepare a series of peptide conjugates and cyclic peptides. The reaction is amenable to either solid-phase (on resin) or solution-phase conditions. In addition, the modified peptides can be further conjugated with other biomolecules at Trp, providing a new handle for bioconjugation.

Intermolecular sulfur atom transfer cascade enabled late-stage introduction of sulfilimines into peptides.

Project description:Sulfilimines, a privileged class of -S(iv)[double bond, length as m-dash]N- functional groups found in nature, have been exploited as valuable building blocks in organic synthesis and as pharmacophores in drug discovery, and have aroused significant interest in the chemical community. Nevertheless, strategies for late-stage introduction of sulfilimines into peptides and proteins have still met with limited success. Herein, we have developed a method of introducing biological sulfilimine fragments into peptides by an intermolecular sulfur atom transfer cascade reaction, utilizing hydroxylamine condensed with the acid moieties of peptides and varied diaryl disulfides. It provides a convenient, efficient, metal-free and widely applicable method for late-stage modification and functionalization of peptides at their acid sites both in the homogeneous phase and on-resins in SPPS. Moreover, the modified peptides with sulfilimines have been demonstrated as cleavable linkers for peptide conjugates under reducible conditions, providing unique opportunities in peptide therapeutics development and drug discovery.

High-Throughput Enabled Iridium-Catalyzed C-H Borylation Platform for Late-Stage Functionalization.

Project description:In this work, we present a dedicated, high-throughput reaction optimization platform allowing for the rapid evaluation of regiodivergent C-H borylation protocols while minimizing the amount of starting material required. The workflow was applied to a diverse set of fragment-like compounds, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, and its practicality was demonstrated by successfully isolating 36 derivatives of bioactive compounds. Leveraging the informer library approach, we provide a comprehensive, side-by-side comparison of catalytic methods, revealing insights into the strengths, limitations, and versatility of each borylation protocol. Surprising reactivity patterns, effectiveness of ligand-free C-H borylation, and the utility of previously reported directed C-H borylation catalysts outside of their expected substrate scope have been noticed. This study highlights the potential of dedicated high-throughput optimization platforms to expand the practical utility of late-stage functionalization protocols for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.

Palladium-catalysed alkene chain-running isomerization.

Project description:We report a method for palladium-catalysed chain-running isomerization of terminal and internal alkenes. Using an air-stable 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline-palladium catalyst in combination with NaBAr4 promoter, olefins are converted to the most stable double bond isomer at -30 to 20 °C. Silyl enol ethers are readily formed from silylated allylic alcohols. Fluorinated substituents are compatible with the reaction conditions, allowing the synthesis of fluoroenolates. Catalyst loading as low as 0.05% can be employed on a gram scale.

Total synthesis of biseokeaniamides A-C and late-stage electrochemically-enabled peptide analogue synthesis.

Project description:The first total synthesis of cytotoxic cyanobacterial peptide natural products biseokeaniamides A-C is reported employing a robust solid-phase approach to peptide backbone construction followed by coupling of a key thiazole building block. To rapidly access natural product analogues, we have optimized an operationally simple electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation-nucleophilic addition pathway which exploits the reactivity of native C-terminal peptide carboxylates and abrogates the need for building block syntheses. Electrochemically-generated N,O-acetal intermediates are engaged with electron-rich aromatics and organometallic reagents to forge modified amino acids and peptides. The value of this late-stage modification method is highlighted by the expedient and divergent production of bioactive peptide analogues, including compounds which exhibit enhanced cytotoxicity relative to the biseokeaniamide natural products.

Sulfur [<sup>18</sup>F]Fluoride Exchange Click Chemistry Enabled Ultrafast Late-Stage Radiosynthesis.

Project description:The lack of efficient [18F]fluorination processes and target-specific organofluorine chemotypes remains the major challenge of fluorine-18 positron emission tomography (PET). We report here an ultrafast isotopic exchange method for the radiosynthesis of novel PET agent aryl [18F]fluorosulfate enabled by the emerging sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry. The method has been applied to the fully automated 18F-radiolabeling of 25 structurally and functionally diverse aryl fluorosulfates with excellent radiochemical yield (83-100%, median 98%) and high molar activity (280 GBq μmol-1) at room temperature in 30 s. The purification of radiotracers requires no time-consuming HPLC but rather a simple cartridge filtration. We further demonstrate the imaging application of a rationally designed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-targeting aryl [18F]fluorosulfate by probing subcutaneous tumors in vivo.
