Chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective tetrafunctionalization of fluoroalkynes enables divergent synthesis of 5-7-membered azacycles.

ABSTRACT: Alkyne annulation has been widely used in organic synthesis for the construction of azacycles with unique structural and physicochemical properties. However, the analogous transformation of fluoroalkynes remains a challenge and has seen limited progress. Herein we report a 1,2,3,4-tetrafunctionalization of polyfluoroalkynes for the divergent construction of 5-7-membered (E)-1,2-difluorovinyl azacycles. The use of the fluorine atom as a detachable "activator" not only obviates the use of any transition metal catalysts and oxidizing reagents, but also ensures the [3-5 + 2]-annulation and defluorinative functionalization of fluoroalkynes with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and excellent scalability, providing a modular platform for accessing fluorinated skeletons of medicinal and biological interest. The late-stage modification of complex molecules, the multi-component 1,2-diamination of fluoroalkyne, and the synthesis of valuable organofluorides from the obtained products further highlight the real-world utility of this fluoroalkyne annulation technology.

Project description:Chemoselective modification of peptides and proteins has wide applications in chemical biology and pharmaceutical development. A highly efficient chemo-, regio- and stereoselective hydrosulfuration of ynamide was developed by taking advantage of an unprecedented β-addition of the thiols. Importantly, this reaction has been identified as an effective tool for Cys modification of peptides and proteins. The rationally designed strong electron-withdrawing triflyl group on the nitrogen atom of ynamides played a crucial role for controlling the chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivities while another substituent offered a handle for functionality diversification. This Cys modification strategy proceeded efficiently in a slightly basic aqueous conditions (pH 8) to provide exclusively the Z-isomer of the corresponding conjugates with superior stability. All the reactive peptide side chain functional groups such as amino, carboxyl, primary amide, and hydroxyl groups, as well as the unprotected imidazole and indole NH are compatible. This method displayed a broad substrate scope including linear and cyclic peptides, proteins and antibody. The potential application of this method in peptide and protein chemical biology was further exemplified by Cys-bioconjugation with ynamides containing functional molecules including small molecule drugs, fluorescent and affinity tags. In addition, this strategy was also compatible with click chemistry (performed in one-pot), which remarkably extended the application of this tool. Furthermore, the chemoselective biotinylation of ubiquitin(G47C) variant with a biotinylated ynamide, as well as the regioselective modification of Cys14 and Cys38 in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), Cys34 of BSA and the antibody (Trastuzumab), could be accomplished readily under the optimized reaction conditions without perturbation of the other disulfide bonds. This method offered a novel and robust platform for Cys modification and opened new horizons for the production of peptide/protein/antibody-drug conjugates.
