Structural basis of the Cope rearrangement and cyclization in hapalindole biogenesis.

Project description:Hapalindole alkaloids are a structurally diverse class of cyanobacterial natural products defined by their varied polycyclic ring systems and diverse biological activities. These complex metabolites are generated from a common biosynthetic intermediate by the Stig cyclases in three mechanistic steps: a rare Cope rearrangement, 6-exo-trig cyclization, and electrophilic aromatic substitution. Here we report the structure of HpiC1, a Stig cyclase that catalyzes the formation of 12-epi-hapalindole U in vitro. The 1.5-Å structure revealed a dimeric assembly with two calcium ions per monomer and with the active sites located at the distal ends of the protein dimer. Mutational analysis and computational methods uncovered key residues for an acid-catalyzed [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, as well as specific determinants that control the position of terminal electrophilic aromatic substitution, leading to a switch from hapalindole to fischerindole alkaloids.

Racemization in Prins cyclization reactions.

Project description:Isotopic labeling experiments were performed to elucidate a new mechanism for racemization in Prins cyclization reactions. The loss in optical activity for these reactions was shown to occur by 2-oxonia-Cope rearrangements by way of a (Z)-oxocarbenium ion intermediate. Reaction conditions such as solvent, temperature, and the nucleophile employed played a critical role in whether an erosion in enantiomeric excess was observed. Additionally, certain structural features of Prins cyclization precursors were also shown to be important for preserving optical purity in these reactions.

Rhenium(VII) catalysis of Prins cyclization reactions.

Project description:The rhenium(VII) complex O3ReOSiPh3 is a particularly effective catalyst for Prins cyclizations using aromatic and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. The reaction conditions are mild, and the highly substituted 4-hydroxytetrahydropyran products are formed stereoselectively. Rhenium(VII) complexes appear to spontaneously form esters with alcohols and to directly activate electron-rich alcohols for solvolysis. Re2O7 and perrhenic acid are equally effective in catalyzing these cyclizations.

Iodine-catalyzed prins cyclization of homoallylic alcohols and aldehydes.

Project description: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.

Mechanistic and computational studies of exocyclic stereocontrol in the synthesis of bryostatin-like cis-2,6-disubstituted 4-alkylidenetetrahydropyrans by Prins cyclization.

Project description:The Prins cyclization of syn-β-hydroxy allylsilanes and aldehydes gives cis-2,6-disubstituted 4-alkylidenetetrahydropyrans as sole products in excellent yields regardless of the aldehyde (R″) or syn-β-hydroxy allylsilane substituent (R') used. By reversing the R″ and R' groups, complementary exocyclic stereocontrol can be achieved. When the anti-β-hydroxy allylsilanes are used, the Prins cyclization gives predominantly cis-2,6-disubstituted 4-alkylidenetetrahydropyrans, now with the opposite olefin geometry in excellent yield. The proposed reaction mechanism and the observed stereoselectivity for these processes are supported by DFT calculations.

Structural and Mechanistic Implications of Rearrangement Frequencies within Human TCRBV Genes.

Project description:The T cell repertoire is a function of thymic V(D)J rearrangement and of peripheral selection. The mature repertoire embodies TCR sequences that are important for survival and can identify important structural aspects of the TCR. Analysis of the circulating TCRBV19 CD8 T cell repertoire showed that a majority of NDN-encoded CDR3 amino acid motifs start at CDR3 position four, well within the V region. Rearrangement at this position indicates that the DNA hairpin loop is not opened at the position adjacent to the recombination signal sequence, but rather is trimmed back three or more bases. In this article, we show that the rearrangement frequency distribution within the V region reveals selection on CDR3 position four. The selection is already established in single-positive CD8 thymocytes. Crystal structures reveal a possible basis for this selection due to the location of this residue in a bend that positions the remaining portion of CDR3 to interact with the peptide and MHC. Examination of other TCRBV families also shows selection for rearrangement within the V region of a number of genes and for CD8 and CD4 cells. The exact profile of rearrangement within the V region appears to be V gene specific. The frequent observation of side chains associated with turn motifs at CDR3 positions three and four fits with the structural need for a bend. The data are discussed in terms of the generation of a structural turn motif, the rearrangement mechanism, and selection of the repertoire on the peptide and MHC.

An aza-Prins cyclization approach to functionalized indolizidines from 2-allylpyrrolidines.

Project description:The stereoselective synthesis of a diverse set of functionalized indolizidine systems has been accomplished through the aza-Prins cyclization of 2-allylpyrrolidines. The condensation of aldehydes onto 2-allylpyrrolidines yields iminium ions that undergo highly diastereoselective aza-Prins cyclization, producing up to two stereogenic centers and two new rings in one step.

Formal synthesis of (-)-kendomycin featuring a Prins-cyclization to construct the macrocycle.

Project description:The kendomycin skeleton was prepared by a highly convergent strategy in which the benzofuran fragment and the acyclic iodide fragment were prepared by standard methods and joined using a Suzuki coupling. The distinctive reaction in our approach was an intramolecular Prins cyclization that assembles the macrocyclic ring in good yield. Modeling studies demonstrate that the acyclic chain is predisposed for macrocycle formation. Ultimately, the product was correlated with one of Lee's advanced intermediates for a formal total synthesis of kendomycin.
