Photoinduced ynamide structural reshuffling and functionalization.

ABSTRACT: The radical chemistry of ynamides has recently drawn the attention of synthetic organic chemists to the construction of various N-heterocyclic compounds. Nevertheless, the ynamide-radical chemistry remains a long-standing challenge for chemists due to its high reactivity, undesirable byproducts, severe inherent regio- and chemoselective problems. Importantly, the ynamide C(sp)-N bond fission remains an unsolved challenge. In this paper, we observe Photoinduced radical trigger regio- and chemoselective ynamide bond fission, structural reshuffling and functionalization of 2-alkynyl-ynamides to prepare synthetically inaccessible/challenging chalcogen-substituted indole derivatives with excellent step/atom economy. The key breakthroughs of this work includes, ynamide bond cleavage, divergent radical precursors, broad scope, easy to handle, larger-scale reactions, generation of multiple bonds (N-C(sp²), C(sp²)-C(sp²), C(sp²)-SO₂R/C-SR, and C-I/C-Se/C-H) in a few minutes without photocatalysts, metals, oxidants, additives. Control experiments and ¹³C-labeling experiments supporting the conclusion that sulfone radicals contribute to ynamide structural reshuffling processes via a radical pathway.

Project description:Genome engineering is a powerful approach to study how chromosomal architecture impacts phenotypes. However, quantifying the fitness impact of translocations independently from the confounding effect of base substitutions has so far remained challenging. We report a novel application of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology allowing to generate with high efficiency both uniquely targeted and multiple concomitant reciprocal translocations in the yeast genome. Targeted translocations are constructed by inducing two double-strand breaks on different chromosomes and forcing the trans-chromosomal repair through homologous recombination by chimerical donor DNAs. Multiple translocations are generated from the induction of several DSBs in LTR repeated sequences and promoting repair using endogenous uncut LTR copies as template. All engineered translocations are markerless and scarless. Targeted translocations are produced at base pair resolution and can be sequentially generated one after the other. Multiple translocations result in a large diversity of karyotypes and are associated in many instances with the formation of unanticipated segmental duplications. To test the phenotypic impact of translocations, we first recapitulated in a lab strain the SSU1/ECM34 translocation providing increased sulphite resistance to wine isolates. Surprisingly, the same translocation in a laboratory strain resulted in decreased sulphite resistance. However, adding the repeated sequences that are present in the SSU1 promoter of the resistant wine strain induced sulphite resistance in the lab strain, yet to a lower level than that of the wine isolate, implying that additional polymorphisms also contribute to the phenotype. These findings illustrate the advantage brought by our technique to untangle the phenotypic impacts of structural variations from confounding effects of base substitutions. Secondly, we showed that strains with multiple translocations, even those devoid of unanticipated segmental duplications, display large phenotypic diversity in a wide range of environmental conditions, showing that simply reconfiguring chromosome architecture is sufficient to provide fitness advantages in stressful growth conditions.
