Stereoselective Synthesis of Quaternary Pyrrolidine-2,3-diones and β-Amino Acids.

ABSTRACT: A facile, diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidine-2,3-diones is reported, along with the one-step conversion of these heterocycles to novel β-amino acids and further functionalized derivatives. This method involves an unusually mild, one-pot, three-component cyclization/allylation followed by a Claisen rearrangement to provide unusual pyrrolidinone products that are densely functionalized and contain an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reported reaction sequence is operationally simple, exquisitely diastereoselective, and provides gram-scale access to valuable heterocyclic scaffolds and β-amino acids not readily accessible via existing approaches.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrrolidine-2,3-diones.

Project description:Substituted 4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrroline-2-ones have been prepared via three-component reactions and the tautomerism of these 3-pyrroline-2-ones is due to the slight difference of energy, and the significantly large rate constant of transformation between two tautomers. 1,4,5-Trisubstituted pyrrolidine-2,3-dione derivatives were prepared from the above mentioned 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives and aliphatic amines, which exist in enamine form and are stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. A possible reaction mechanism between 3-pyrroline-2-one and aliphatic amine (CH3NH2) was proposed based on computational results and the main product is formed favorably following the PES via the lowest ΔG # pathway in both the gas-phase and an ethanol solvent model. DFT calculations showed that kinetic selectivity is more significant than thermodynamic selectivity for forming main products.

Synthesis of β2,2-Amino Acids by Stereoselective Alkylation of Isoserine Derivatives Followed by Nucleophilic Ring Opening of Quaternary Sulfamidates.

Project description:Chiral bicyclic N,O-acetal isoserine derivatives have been synthesized by an acid-catalyzed tandem N,O-acetalization/intramolecular transcarbamoylation reaction between conveniently protected l-isoserine and 2,2,3,3-tetramethoxybutane. The delicate balance of the steric interactions between the different functional groups on each possible diastereoisomer controls their thermodynamic stability and hence the experimental product distribution. These chiral isoserine derivatives undergo diastereoselective alkylation at the α position, proceeding with either retention or inversion of the configuration depending on the relative configuration of the stereocenters. Quantum mechanical calculations revealed that a concave-face alkylation is favored due to smaller torsional and steric interactions at the bicyclic scaffold. This synthetic methodology gives access to chiral β2,2-amino acids, attractive compounds bearing a quaternary stereocenter at the α position with applications in peptidomimetic and medicinal chemistry. Thus, enantiopure α-alkylisoserine derivatives were produced upon acidic hydrolysis of these alkylated scaffolds. In addition, α-benzylisoserine was readily transformed into a five-membered ring cyclic sulfamidate, which was ring opened regioselectively with representative nucleophiles to yield other types of enantiopure β2,2-amino acids such as α-benzyl-α-heterofunctionalized-β-alanines and α-benzylnorlanthionine derivatives.

Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Branched Aromatic α-Amino Acids by Biocatalytic Dynamic Kinetic Resolution*.

Project description:β-Branched noncanonical amino acids are valuable molecules in modern drug development efforts. However, they are still challenging to prepare due to the need to set multiple stereocenters in a stereoselective fashion, and contemporary methods for the synthesis of such compounds often rely on the use of rare-transition-metal catalysts with designer ligands. Herein, we report a highly diastereo- and enantioselective biocatalytic transamination method to prepare a broad range of aromatic β-branched α-amino acids. Mechanistic studies show that the transformation proceeds through dynamic kinetic resolution that is unique to the optimal enzyme. To highlight its utility and practicality, the biocatalytic reaction was applied to the synthesis of several sp3 -rich cyclic fragments and the first total synthesis of jomthonic acid A.

Discovery of Pyrrolidine-2,3-diones as Novel Inhibitors of P. aeruginosa PBP3.

Project description:The alarming threat of the spread of multidrug resistant bacteria currently leaves clinicians with very limited options to combat infections, especially those from Gram-negative bacteria. Hence, innovative strategies to deliver the next generation of antibacterials are urgently needed. Penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are proven targets inhibited by β-lactam antibiotics. To discover novel, non-β-lactam inhibitors against PBP3 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we optimised a fluorescence assay based on a well-known thioester artificial substrate and performed a target screening using a focused protease-targeted library of 2455 compounds, which led to the identification of pyrrolidine-2,3-dione as a potential scaffold to inhibit the PBP3 target. Further chemical optimisation using a one-pot three-component reaction protocol delivered compounds with excellent target inhibition, initial antibacterial activities against P. aeruginosa and no apparent cytotoxicity. Our investigation revealed the key structural features; for instance, 3-hydroxyl group (R2) and a heteroaryl group (R1) appended to the N-pyrroldine-2,3-dione via methylene linker required for target inhibition. Overall, the discovery of the pyrrolidine-2,3-dione class of inhibitors of PBP3 brings opportunities to target multidrug-resistant bacterial strains and calls for further optimisation to improve antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa.

Synthesis of 1,4-benzothiazinones from acylpyruvic acids or furan-2,3-diones and o-aminothiophenol.

Project description:Two synthetic approaches to enaminones fused to 1,4-benzothiazin-2-one moiety, which can be interesting in studies on biological activity, chemosensors, and fluorescence, were developed via the reaction of furan-2,3-diones or acylpyruvic acids in the presence of carbodiimides with o-aminothiophenols. The target enaminones were formed together with pharmaceutically interesting 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones. A selective synthetic approach to 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones was developed via the solvent-switchable reaction of furan-2,3-diones with o-aminothiophenol. Preliminary biological assays (antimicrobial, acute toxicity) of the new compounds were carried out.

Asymmetric Radical Cyclopropanation of Dehydroaminocarboxylates: Stereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopropyl α-Amino Acids.

Project description:A catalytic radical process has been developed for asymmetric cyclopropanation of dehydroaminocarboxylates with in situ-generated α-aryldiazomethanes via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC). Through fine-tuning the environments of D 2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin platform as the supporting ligands, the Co(II)-metalloradical system can effectively activate various α-aryldiazomethanes to cyclopropanate different dehydroaminocarboxylates under mild conditions, enabling the stereoselective synthesis of chiral cyclopropyl α-amino acid derivatives. In addition to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities, the Co(II)-catalyzed asymmetric radical cyclopropanation exhibits (Z)-diastereoselectivity, which is the opposite of uncatalyzed thermal reaction. Combined computational and experimental studies support a stepwise radical mechanism for the Co(II)-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction. The resulting enantioenriched (Z)-α-amino-β-arylcyclopropanecarboxylates, as showcased for the efficient synthesis of dipeptides, may serve as unique non-proteinogenic amino acid building blocks for the design and preparation of novel peptides with restricted conformations.

Samarium iodide-mediated Reformatsky reactions for the stereoselective preparation of β-hydroxy-γ-amino acids: synthesis of isostatine and dolaisoleucine.

Project description:The synthesis of β-hydroxy-γ-amino acids via SmI(2)-mediated Reformatsky reactions of α-chloroacetyloxazolidinones with aminoaldehydes is reported. Diastereoselective coupling is demonstrated to depend on the absolute configuration of the Evans chiral auxiliary employed in the reaction, allowing erythro or threo products to be obtained selectively. The potential utility of the methodology is exemplified by the facile synthesis of biologically relevant N-Boc-isostatine (2b) and N-Boc-dolaisoleucine (3c).

Pyrrolidine-2,3-diones: heterocyclic scaffolds that inhibit and eradicate S. aureus biofilms.

Project description:The absence of novel antibiotic classes, coupled with the rising threat of antibiotic persistence and resistance, is pushing the world perilously close to a new pre-antibiotic era. Over 35 000 people die every year in the US as a consequence of antimicrobial-resistant infections. Bacterial biofilms further complicate this scenario, as they are inherently more resistant to antibiotic treatments. Currently, there are no approved single agent or adjuvant small molecules for treating biofilm-complicated infections. Herein, we report the synthesis and microbiological evaluation of a novel library of 25+ monomeric and dimeric pyrrolidine-2,3-dione scaffolds. These compounds have displayed improved aqueous solubility, potent anti-biofilm properties, a low MBEC-to-MIC ratio, and synergism with FDA-approved antimicrobials against biofilm infections, constituting a promising technology as antimicrobial adjuvants.

Highly functionalized pyrrolidine analogues: stereoselective synthesis and caspase-dependent apoptotic activity.

Project description:Novel spiropyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids were synthesized for the first time in a sustainable fashion employing a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition strategy to form a new class of azomethine ylides generated from tyrosine and acenaphthenequinone. Following their synthesis and characterization, these heterocyclic hybrids were tested for their anticancer activities by incubation at different concentrations and durations with different cancer and non-cancer cell cultures, and the results indicated a potential therapeutic activity. Further analysis of cancer cell death revealed that it occurred through a caspase-related apoptotic pathway, specifically mediated by caspase-3. These results demonstrated that the obtained spiropyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids may be good hit compounds for the development of potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of malignant tumors.
