Palladium-catalyzed chemo- and enantioselective oxidation of allylic esters and carbonates.

The palladium-catalyzed oxidation of allylic esters and carbonates using a novel potassium nitronate has been developed. This method is highly chemoselective, leaving other esters, alcohols, thioethers, and amines undisturbed. The oxidation can be operated in two modes: an achiral mode, using either PPh3 or rac-2 as ligand, or a chiral and highly enantioselective mode, using 2 as ligand. The oxidative enantioselective desymmetrization of meso bis-esters provides a significantly shorter method to arrive at commonly used synthetic intermediates compared to other strategies. Highly efficient kinetic resolution is also possible using this methodology.

Coordination chemistry of phosphanyl amino acids: solid state and solution structures of neutral and cationic rhodium complexes.

Copper phosphide or arsenide complexes, [Cu(EPh(2))(neo)] (E = P, As, neo = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; trivial name: neocuprine) react selectively with the N-protected brominated serine derivatives, 2-(S)-(alkoxycarbonylamino)-3-bromomethylpropionates ((ROCO)SerBr, : R = PhCH(2), : tBu, : Me) to give the corresponding phosphanylated or arsanylated amino acids, (ROCO)SerPhos (: Phos = PPh(2)) and (Z)SerArs (Ars = AsPh(2), Z = PhCH(2)OCO). The dipeptide (Z)AlaSerPhos was likewise prepared. The phosphanes , and the arsane reacted cleanly with [Rh(2)(micro-Cl)(2)(cod)(2)] to give the rhodium(I) complexes [RhCl(cod)((Z)SerPhos)] , [RhCl(cod)((Boc)SerPhos)] (Boc = tBuOCO), [RhCl(cod)((Z)AlaSerPhos)] , and [RhCl(cod)((Z)SerArs)] which were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. A common structural feature is an intramolecular (N)H[dot dot dot]Cl(Rh)-hydrogen bridge which according to NMR investigations remains intact in solution. The abstraction of chloride from the coordination sphere of Rh(I) in or has a profound structural impact. While in and , the ligands bind in a monodentate fashion, via the phosphorus atom only, they serve as bidentate ligands via the phosphorus centre and the peptidic C=O group in [Rh(cod)(kappa(2)-(Z)SerPhos)]PF(6) and [Rh(cod)(kappa(2)-(Z)AlaSerPhos)]PF(6). This causes also the amino acid residue structures to change from alpha-helix type in and to a beta-sheet type in both. Addition of chloride to and fully re-establishes the structures of both. The complexes [RhCl(cod)((Z)SerPhos)] and [RhCl(cod)((Boc)SerPhos)] show good activities in homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenations of olefins while the dipeptide complex is less active. Phosphane addition to greatly diminishes the catalytic activity. The cationic complex [Rh(cod)(kappa(2)-(Z)AlaSerPhos)]PF(6) shows low activity which, however, is greatly increased by addition of one equivalent of phosphane.

Solid-phase synthesis of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers and their oligomerization using disulphide anchoring linkers.

A new simple solid-phase method has been developed for synthesizing Boc-protected peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers. An immobilized backbone 3 was built on Expansin resin using an ester disulphide handle: 2-hydroxypropyl-dithio-2'-isobutyric acid (HPDI). The base acetic acids of thymine 5, Z-cytosine 9, Z-adenine 12, and 6-O-benzyl guanine 17 were prepared and coupled to the immobilized backbone. The HPDI handle was cleaved under mild conditions by cyanolysis or assisted hydrolysis with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to give undamaged PNA monomers. These monomers were coupled to form oligomers by solid-phase method with another disulphide linkage: aminoethyldithio-2-isobutyric acid (AEDI) grafted on an amino-functionalized TentaGel resin, using in situ neutralization and TBTU as activating reagent. Final cleavage of the AEDI linker gave PNA bearing a cysteamide residue that could be useful for optimizing PNA properties. Oligomers of up to 16 residues long were assembled.

Optimized conditions to couple two water-soluble biomolecules through alkylamine thiolation and thioetherification.

A simple method for introducing, in buffered saline, a reactive sulfhydryl group on water-soluble molecules bearing an alkyl-amino group is described. This method is based on the use of two water-soluble reagents: 2-iminothiolane and 6,6'-dithiodinicotinic acid. The first one is open upon reaction with an amino group, and the generated thiol group is immediately protected by action of the second reagent. The optimal conditions were determined by taking into account the stability and the reactivity of both reagents with regards to pH and temperature. This method was validated through two applications, the substitution of bovine serum albumin with a bromoacetyl peptide and the substitution of an amino link at the 5' end of an oligonucleotide by reaction with either a fluorescent tag, iodoacetamidofluorescein, or a bromoacetyl peptide, upon reduction of the protected disulfide bridge with a third water-soluble reagent, namely tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine.

Instantaneous carbon-carbon bond formation using a microchannel reactor with a catalytic membrane.

Instantaneous catalytic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were achieved in a microchannel reactor having a polymeric palladium complex membrane. The catalytic membrane was constructed inside the microchannel via self-assembling complexation at the interface between the organic and aqueous phases flowing laminarly, where non-cross-linked polymer-bound phosphine and ammonium tetrachloropalladate dissolved, respectively. A palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl halides and arylboronic acids was performed using the microchannel reactor to give quantitative yields of biaryls within 4 s of retention time in the defined channel region.

Facile preparation of a new BINAP-based building block, 5,5'-diiodoBINAP, and its synthetic application.

[reaction: see text] Bis(pyridine)iodonium tetrafluoroborate was successfully used for regioselective iodination of BINAP dioxide to give 5,5'-diiodoBINAP dioxide in an excellent yield of 92%, with no observed formation of 4,4'-diiodoBINAP dioxide. A Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction with 5,5'-diiodoBINAP dioxide gave the desired bis(trimethylsilylethynyl) product in 86% yield. The resulting 5,5'-disubstituted BINAP dioxides were reduced to the corresponding phosphines, which were used as chiral ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of phenylboronic acid to 2-cyclohexenone to give 3-phenylcyclohexanone in excellent yield with high enantioselectivity.

Palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of 1,3-dienes to form alpha-alkylidene-gamma-butyrolactones.

alpha-Alkylidene-gamma-butyrolactones are readily prepared by the palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of a variety of 1,3-dienes by alpha-iodo and alpha-bromo acrylic acids. The best results are obtained by employing a catalytic amount of the sterically hindered chelating alkyl phosphine D-t-BPF [(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene]. In most cases, this process is highly regioselective. The reaction is believed to proceed via (1) oxidative addition of the vinylic halide to Pd(0), (2) organopalladium addition to the less hindered end of the 1,3-diene to form a pi-allylpalladium intermediate, and (3) nucleophilic displacement of the palladium by the carboxylate ion.

Synthesis, resolution, and applications of 2, 2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,3'- binaphtho[2,1-b]furan.

[structure: see text] A short five-step synthesis of (+/-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3, 3'-binaphtho[2,1-b]furan (BINAPFu, 1) starting from 2-naphthoxyacetic acid is reported. The resolution of BINAPFu 1 was possible using our newly developed resolution procedure for phosphines wherein (1S)-camphorsulfonyl azide was used to prepare the bisphosphinimine of BINAPFu via the Staundinger reaction. BINAPFu consistently outperformed BINAP in an asymmetric Heck reaction between 2,3-dihydrofuran and phenyl triflate.

Synthesis, characterization, and in vitro antitumor properties of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine copper(I) complexes containing the new bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate ligand.

The new sodium bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate ligand, Na[HC(CO(2))(tz)(2)], has been prepared in methanol solution by using 1,2,4-triazole, dibromoacetic acid, and NaOH. Treatment of the [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)][PF(6)] acceptor with Na[HC(CO(2))(tz)(2)] or Na[HC(CO(2))[(pz(Me2))(2)] in the presence of the tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine coligand in methanol/acetonitrile solutions produced unprecedented mononuclear copper(I) complexes of the [L(n)]Cu[P(CH(2)OH)(3)](2) (L(1), 2; L(2), 3) [(CH(3)CN)(2)Cu(P(CH(2)OH)(3))(2)]PF(6), 4. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, ESI-MS, and multinuclear (1H and 31P) NMR spectral data. The new copper(I) complexes were tested for their cytotoxic properties against a panel of several human tumor cell lines. The results reported here indicate that all the complexes showed in vitro antitumor activity similar or better than that of cisplatin, the most used metal-based antitumor drug. In particular, [HC(CO(2))(pz(Me2))(2)]Cu[P(CH(2)OH)(3)](2), 3 showed IC(50) values markedly lower than the reference compound against all tumor cell lines. Chemosensitivity tests performed on cisplatin sensitive and resistant cell lines have demonstrated that all these Cu(I) complexes were able to overcome cisplatin resistance, supporting the hypothesis of a different mechanism of action compared to that exhibited by the reference drug. Flow cytometric analysis on 2008 human ovarian carcinoma cells revealed that complex 3, chosen as the best candidate, induced a marked enlargement of both cell size and granularity, and a significant increase in the fraction of G2/M cells that, differently from cisplatin, was not accompanied by the appearance of a relevant sub-G1 fraction. Besides, no evidence of caspase-3 activation was detected in cells treated with complex 3. We hypothesize that the cytotoxic activity of the new copper(I) complex may be correlated to its ability to trigger paraptosis, a nonapoptotic mechanism of cell death.

Cleavage of disulfide bonds leads to inactivation and degradation of the type IIa, but not type IIb sodium phosphate cotransporter expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) reduces (cleaves) disulfide bonds of the renal proximal tubule type IIa Na/Pi- cotransporter (rat NaPi IIa) and thereby inhibits its function. We tested the effect of TCEP on the murine type IIa Na/P(i)-cotransporter and the corresponding IIb intestinal isoform both expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. After incubation with TCEP the function of NaPi IIa was inhibited and protein amount was decreased. Injection of the lysosomal inhibitor leupeptin prevented degradation of the protein. Exposure of oocytes to TCEP at 0 degrees C led to a reduction in transport function without concomitant loss in Na/Pi IIa protein. In contrast to NaPi type IIa, the type IIb isoform was neither inhibited, nor degraded after incubation with TCEP. These results suggest that cleavage of disulfide bonds led to changes within the confirmation of the type IIa transporter that result in (i) inhibition of the transport activity and (ii) internalization and subsequent lysosomal degradation of transporter protein. Sequence comparisons suggest the involvement/presence of different disulfide bonds in type IIa and type IIb Na/P(i)-cotransporters.

Synthesis of monodentate ferrocenylphosphines and their application to the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reaction of aryl chlorides.

Racemic and enantiopure ((p)()S)-1-bromo-2-methylferrocene 6 were synthesized in 4 steps from 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolinyl)ferrocene and (S)-2-(4-methylethyloxazolinyl)ferrocene, respectively (46 and 81% overall yield). Bromolithium exchange and addition of ClPR(2) gave the corresponding racemic or enantiopure 2-methylferrocenyl phosphine ligands 2-MeFcPR(2) 11 (R = Ph), 12 (R = Cy), and 13 (R = (t)Bu) in 28-93% yield. Use of PCl(3) gave the C(3)-symmetric phosphine (2-MeFc)(3)P 5 from ((p)()S)-6(72% yield) but racemic 6 did not lead to the formation of triferrocenyl phosphines. Combination of 5 and Pd(2)(dba)(3) gave an active catalyst for the Suzuki reaction of aryl chlorides, for example, 4-chlorotoluene and phenylboronic acid reacted at only 60 degrees C in dioxane (86% yield). Other examples are reported together with the use of 12 in this same protocol. From the X-ray crystal structure of 5 the cone angle was determined as 211 degrees. With this, and the electronic character of 11, 12, and other phosphines (derived from nu(CO) of trans-[(R(3)P)(2)Rh(CO)Cl]), an analysis is made of the steric and electronic influences on ligand activity in the Suzuki reaction.

In situ formation of ruthenium catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide.

A total of 44 different phosphines were tested, in combination with [RuCl(2)(C(6)H(6))](2) and three other Ru(II) precursors, for their ability to form active catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO(2) to formic acid. Half (22) of the ligands formed catalysts of significant activity, and only 6 resulted in very high rates of production of formic acid. These were PMe(3), PPhMe(2), dppm, dppe, and cis- and trans-Ph(2)PCH=CHPPh(2). The in situ catalysts prepared from [RuCl(2)(C(6)H(6))](2) and any of these 6 phosphine ligands were found to be at least as efficient as the isolated catalyst RuCl(O(2)CMe)(PMe(3))(4). There was no correlation between the basicity of monophosphines (PR(3)) and the activity of the catalysts formed from them. However, weakly basic diphosphines formed highly active catalysts only if their bite angles were small, while more strongly basic diphosphines had the opposite trend. In situ (31)P NMR spectroscopy showed that trans-Ru(H)(2)(dppm)(2), trans-RuCl(2)(dppm)(2), trans-RuHCl(dppm)(2), cis-Ru(H)(O(2)CH)(dppm)(2), and cis-Ru(O(2)CH)(2)(dppm)(2) are produced as the major metal-containing species in reactions of dppm with [RuCl(2)(C(6)H(6))](2) under catalytic conditions at 50 degrees C.

Purification of an alanine racemase from Streptococcus faecalis and analysis of its inactivation by (1-aminoethyl)phosphonic acid enantiomers.

An alanine racemase has been purified some 30 000-fold almost to homogeneity from Gram-positive Streptococcus faecalis NCIB 6459; the enzyme has been purified to the same extent (4000-fold) from an O-carbamyl-D-serine-resistant mutant with a 7-fold higher enzyme level in crude extract. The racemase has one pyridoxal phosphate molecule per 42-kDa subunit, has a Vmax of 3570 units/mg and a Km of 7.8 mM in the L to D direction, and has a Vmax of 1210 units/mg and a Km of 2.2 mM in the D to L direction. The Keq is 0.8 and kcat/Km values are ca. 3 X 10(5) M-1 s-1. The purified enzyme is inhibited in a time-dependent manner by both L- and D-(l-aminoethyl)phosphonates (Ala-P), confirming observations of Atherton et al. in crude extracts of this organism [Atherton, F. R., Hall, M. J., Hassal, C. H., Holmes, S. W., Lambert, R. W., Lloyd, W. J., & Ringrose, P. S. (1980) Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 18, 897]. Studies with [1-2H]-, [1-3H]-, and [1,2-14C]Ala-P rule out enzymic activation and processing as the basis for irreversible inhibition. Thus, enzyme after exposure to [14C]Ala-P or [alpha-3H]Ala-P and gel filtration contains stoichiometric amounts of radioactive label, but denaturation quantitatively releases intact Ala-P into solution as revealed by high-performance liquid chromatography and cocrystallization with authentic material. The Ala-P isomers are slow binding inhibitors of this racemase as is the alpha,alpha'-dimethyl analogue but not the D or L isomers of the corresponding phosphinate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Azidopeptide nucleic acid. An alternative strategy for solid-phase peptide nucleic acid (PNA) synthesis.

[reaction: see text] A practical and efficient method for PNA synthesis using an azide group to mask the N-terminus is reported. The deprotection was carried out in 5 min, while couplings were complete within 60 min. The near neutral conditions of the phosphine deprotection combined with the base-free coupling using hydroxybenzotriazole-activated monomers make this approach very mild.

Solubilization of hydrophobic peptides by reversible cysteine PEGylation.

"PEG-a-Cys" reagent, synthesized by the esterification of monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (avg. MW = 5 kDa) to Ellman's reagent [5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)], is shown to "PEGylate" reversibly the cysteine residue of a 25-residue synthetic hydrophobic peptide (H2N-REAAALAAAAALAAWAALCPARRRR-CO2H) designed to model a transmembrane segment of a membrane protein. A mixed disulfide bond was formed between the reagent and the peptide that was readily cleaved with the mild reducing agent tricarboxyethylphosphine hydrochloride (TCEP.HCl). Carboxypeptidase B digestion of the charged carboxyl terminus of the peptide through to the Ala residue--which mimics the enzymatic cleavage of a TM segment from a fusion protein--releases a highly hydrophobic peptide. A time-dependent decrease in the amplitude of the digested peptide circular dichroism (CD) spectra was attributed to the aggregation and/or precipitation of the peptide. While PEGylation of the peptide with PEG-a-Cys had a negligible effect on conformation, it inhibited the loss of CD amplitude in both intact and digested peptides, suggesting that it was effective in solubilization of hydrophobic peptides.
