Dramatic effect of the metal cation in dealkylation reactions of phosphinic esters promoted by complexes of polyether ligands with metal iodides.

Metal ion electrophilic catalysis has been revealed in dealkylation reactions of phosphinic esters 1-4 promoted by complexes of polyether ligands 5-7 with metal iodides MI(n) (M[n+] = Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), Ca(2+), Sr(2+), Ba(2+)) in low polarity solvents (chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and toluene) at 60 degrees C. The catalytic effect increases with increasing the Lewis acid character of the cation, in the order Rb(+)< K(+)< Na(+)< Li(+) and Ba(2+)< Sr(2+)< Ca(2+). The results are interpreted in terms of a transition state where the complexed cation (M[n+] subset Lig) assists the departure of the leaving group Ph(2)P(O)O(-) and, at the same time, favors the attack at carbon of the nucleophile I(-) ("push-pull" mechanism). The rate sequence found for 1-4 (Me > Et >> i-Pr and t-Bu) shows that this reaction can be utilized for the selective dealkylation of these substrates.

Detection of reversible protein thiol modifications in tissues.

Oxidation/reduction reactions of protein thiol groups (PSH) have been implicated in many physiological and pathological processes. Although many new techniques for separation and identification of modified cysteinyl residues in proteins have been developed, critical assessment of reagents and sample processing often are overlooked. We carefully compared the effectiveness of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), iodoacetamide (IAM), and iodoacetic acid (IAA) in alkylating protein thiols and found that NEM required less reagent (125 vs. 1000 mol:mol excess), required less time (4 min vs. 4h), and was more effective at lower pHs (4.3 vs. 8.0) in comparison with IAM and IAA. The relative efficacy of dithiothreitol (DTT) and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) for reducing protein disulfides suspended in NaPO(4) buffer or MeOH was assessed, and no differences in total normalized fluorescence were detected at the concentrations tested (10-100mM); however, individual band resolution appeared better in samples reduced with DTT in MeOH. In addition, we found that oxidation ex vivo was minimized in tissue samples that were homogenized in aqueous buffers containing excess molar quantities of NEM compared with samples homogenized in MeOH containing NEM. Using NEM for thiol alkylation, DTT for disulfide reduction, and mBBr for labeling the reduced disulfide and fluorimetric detection, we were able to generate an in-gel standard curve and quantitate total disulfide contents within biological samples as well as to identify changes in specific protein bands by scanning densitometry. We demonstrated that reagents and techniques we have identified for disulfide detection in complex samples are also applicable to two-dimensional electrophoresis separations.

Synthesis of unsymmetrical aroyl acyl imides by aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides.

Aroyl imides were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl bromides with carbon monoxide and primary amides in good yields (58-72%). The reactions were carried out under mild conditions (5 bar, 120 degrees C) using 1 mol % of a palladium phosphine complex. Several aryl bromides were reacted with formamide, acetamide, benzamide, and benzenesulfonamide, respectively. For activated aryl bromides, a phosphine-to-palladium ratio of 2:1 was sufficient, but less reactive aryl bromides required a ligand-to-palladium ratio of 6:1 in order to stabilize the catalyst and achieve full conversion. The imides were very sensitive to aqueous basic conditions and were easily converted to aroyl amides or benzoic acids.

Synthesis of coumarin or ferrocene labeled nucleosides via Staudinger ligation.

BACKGROUND: Reaction of azides with triaryl phosphines under mild conditions gives iminophosphoranes which can react with almost any kind of electrophilic reagent, e.g. aldehydes/ketones to form imines or esters to form amides. This so-called Staudinger ligation has been employed in a wide range of applications as a general tool for bioconjugation including specific labeling of nucleic acids. RESULTS: A new approach for the preparation of labeled nucleosides via intermolecular Staudinger ligation is described. Reaction of azidonucleosides with triphenylphosphine lead to iminophosphorane intermediates, which react subsequently with derivatives of coumarin or ferrocene to form coumarin or ferrocene labeled nucleosides. Fluorescent properties of coumarin labeled nucleosides are determined. CONCLUSION: New coumarin and ferrocene labeled nucleosides were prepared via intermolecular Staudinger ligation. This reaction joins the fluorescent coumarin and biospecific nucleoside to the new molecule with promising fluorescent and electrochemical properties. The isolated yields of products depend on the structure of azidonucleoside and carboxylic acids. A detailed study of the kinetics of the Staudinger ligation with nucleoside substrates is in progress.

Catalytic oxidation by a carboxylate-bridged non-heme diiron complex.

The synthesis of a sterically hindered di(mu-carboxylato)diiron(II) complex bearing terminal N,N',N"-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me(3)TACN) ligands and its reaction with dioxygen to afford a (mu-oxo)di(mu-carboxylato)diiron(III) complex are described. Both compounds initiate catalytic oxo transfer with O(2) as the terminal oxidant, converting phosphines to phosphine oxides, dimethyl sulfide to dimethyl sulfoxide, and dibenzylamine to benzaldehyde. Triphenylphosphine is oxidized to triphenylphosphine oxide with a turnover number of >2000 mol.P/mol.cat.

Optical resolution and the study of ligand effects on the ortho-metalation reaction of resolved (+/-)-diphenyl[1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]phosphine and its arsenic analogue.

Two highly air-sensitive asymmetric ligands (+/-)-diphenyl[1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]phosphine and its arsenic analogue [(+/-)-L] have been prepared and resolved by the fractionalization of a pair of diastereomeric palladium complexes containing the appropriate ligand and ortho-metalated (R)-(1-(dimethylamino)ethyl)naphthylene. X-ray structural analysis revealed that the less soluble isomers in each resolution contained the resolving ligand of the S absolute configuration. The resolved ligands coordinated as monodentates with only the phosphorus or arsenic donor coordinated to the resolving organopalladium unit. Due to the steric congestions between the phenyl and the naphthyl rings, the Ph(2)E-C distances in both monodentate ligands are unusually long [1.885(2) A for E = P and 2.035(7) A for E = As]. The (R)-naphthylamine auxiliary could be removed chemoselectively from the resolved complexes by treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid to give the corresponding bis(micro-chloro) complexes (-)-[(S)-LPdCl(2)](2). Treatments of these dimeric complexes with sodium acetate in ethanol gave the novel ortho-metalated complex bis(micro-chloro)bis[(S)-1-[1-(diphenylphospha)ethyl]naphthylenyl-C(2),P]dipalladium(II), with [alpha](D) +559 degrees (CH(2)Cl(2)), and the analogous ortho-metalated (S)-arsa complex, with [alpha](D) +349 degrees (CH(2)Cl(2)). The Ph(2)E-C distances recorded for the ortho-metalated phosphine complex are 1.841(6) and 1.846(5) A, and those recorded for the organometallic arsa rings are 1.938(9) and 1.945(9) A. These Ph(2)E-C distances are noticeably shorter than those recorded for their analogous monodentate complexes. The intrachelate E-Pd-C angles of the analogous amino, phospha, and arsa complexes involved in the current study are similar [within the range of 80.5(2)-82.1(3) degrees ] although it is noticeable that As > P > N.

De novo sequencing and disulfide mapping of a bromotryptophan-containing conotoxin by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

T-1-family conotoxins belong to the T-superfamily and are composed of 10-17 amino acids. They share a common cysteine framework and disulfide connectivity and exhibit unusual posttranslational modifications, such as tryptophan bromination, glutamic acid carboxylation, and threonine glycosylation. We have isolated and characterized a novel peptide, Mo1274, containing 11 amino acids, that shows the same cysteine pattern, -CC-CC, and disulfide linkage as those of the T-1-family members. The complete sequence, GNWCCSARVCC, in which W denotes bromotryptophan, was derived from MS-based de novo sequencing. The FT-ICR MS/MS techniques of electron capture dissociation (ECD), infrared multiphoton dissociation, and collision-induced dissociation served to detect and localize the tryptophan bromination. The bromine contributes a distinctive isotopic distribution in all fragments that contain bromotryptophan. ECD fragmentation results in the loss of bromine and return to the normal isotopic distribution. Disulfide connectivity of Mo1274, between cysteine pairs 1-3 and 2-4, was determined by mass spectrometry in combination with chemical derivatization employing tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, followed by differential alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide. The ECD spectra of the native and partially modified peptide reveal a loss of bromine in a process that requires the presence of a disulfide bond.

A novel ternary ligand system useful for preparation of cationic (99m)Tc-diazenido complexes and (99m)Tc-labeling of small biomolecules.

This report describes a novel ternary ligand system composed of a phenylhydrazine, a crown ether-containing dithiocarbamate (DTC), and a PNP-type bisphosphine (PNP). The combination of three different ligands with (99m)Tc results in cationic (99m)Tc-diazenido complexes, [(99m)Tc(NNAr)(DTC)(PNP)]+, with potential radiopharmaceuticals for heart imaging. Synthesis of cationic (99m)Tc-diazenido complexes can be accomplished in two steps. For example, the reaction of phenylhydrazine with (99m)TcO4- at 100 degrees C in the presence of excess stannous chloride and 1,2-diaminopropane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (PDTA) results in the [(99m)Tc(NNPh)(PDTA)n] intermediate, which then reacts with sodium N-(dithiocarbamato)-2-aminomethyl-15-Crown-5 (L4) and N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]ethoxyethylamine (PNP6) at 100 degrees C for 15 min to give the complex, [(99m)Tc(NNPh)(L4)(PNP6)]+ in high yield (>90%). Cationic complexes [(99m)Tc(NNPh)(DTC)(PNP)]+ are stable for > or = 6 h. Their composition was determined to be 1:1:1:1 for Tc:NNPh:DTC:PNP using the mixed-ligand experiments on the tracer ((99m)Tc) level and was further confirmed by the ESI-MS spectral data of a model compound [Re(NNPh)(L4)(L6)]+. It was found that both DTCs and bisphosphines have a significant impact on the lipophilicity of their cationic (99m)Tc-diazenido complexes. Results from a (99m)Tc-labeling efficiency experiment showed that 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid (HYBA) might be useful as a bifunctional coupling agent for (99m)Tc-labeling of small biomolecules. However, the (99m)Tc-labeling efficiency of HYBA is much lower than that of 6-hydrazinonicotinic acid (HYNIC) with tricine and trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3''-trisulfonate (TPPTS) as coligands.

Highly regio- and stereoselective acylboration, acylsilation, and acylstannation of allenes catalyzed by phosphine-free palladium complexes: an efficient route to a new class of 2-acylallylmetal reagents.

A new method for the synthesis of substituted 2-acylallylmetal reagents in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion involving a three-component assembly of allenes, acyl chlorides, and bimetallic reagents (B-B, Si-Si, and Sn-Sn) catalyzed by phosphine-free palladium complexes is described. Treatment of various allenes (CR(2)R(3)=C=CH(2)) with acyl chlorides (R(1)COCl) and bispinacolatodiboron in the presence of PdCl(2)(CH(3)CN)(2) in toluene at 80 degrees C gave 2-acylallylboronates in moderate to good yields. The acylsilation of allenes with acid chlorides and hexamethyldisilane (5) proceeded successfully in the presence of Pd(dba)(2) in CH(3)CN affording the corresponding allylsilanes (CR(2)R(3)=C(COR(1))CH(2)SiMe(3)) in good to moderate yields. Several chloroformates (R(4)OCOCl) also react with 1,1-dimethylallene (2a) and 5 to afford allylsilanes (CR(2)R(3)=C(COOR(4))CH(2)SiMe(3)) in 66-70% yields. Acylstannation of allenes could also be achieved by slow addition of hexabutylditin (10) to the reaction mixture of acyl chloride (or chloroformate) and allene 2a in CH(3)CN in the presence of Pd(dba)(2) at 60 degrees C; the corresponding 2-substituted allylstannanes were isolated in moderate to good yields. The above catalytic reactions are completely regioselective and highly stereoselective. A mechanism is proposed to account for the catalytic reactions and the stereochemistry.

Rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds: large accelerating effects of bases and ligands.

The effects of ligands and bases in the rhodium(I)-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were reinvestigated to carry out the reaction under mild conditions. Rhodium(I) complexes possessing a 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) and a hydroxo ligand such as [RhOH(cod)](2) exhibited excellent catalyst activities compared to those of the corresponding rhodium-acac or -chloro complexes and their phosphine derivatives. The reaction was further accelerated in the presence of KOH, thus allowing the 1,4-addition even at 0 degrees C. A cationic rhodium(I)-(R)-binap complex, [Rh(R-binap)(nbd)]BF(4), catalyzed the reaction at 25-50 degrees C in the presence of Et(3)N with high enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee for alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, 92% for aldehydes, 94% for esters, and 92% for amides.

Probing glycosyltransferase activities with the Staudinger ligation.

The development of rapid screening methods for probing glycosyltransferase activities is essential for advancing the field of glycobiology. While assays for specific glycosyltransferases exist, there is no generalizable method that can be applied across the enzyme superfamily. Herein we describe a novel glycosyltransferase assay that exploits their unnatural substrate tolerance and the unique chemical reactivity of the azide. We applied this "azido-ELISA" to the family of polypeptide alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAcTs), all of which were able to transfer N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (GalNAz) from the unnatural nucleotide sugar donor UDP-GalNAz. The azide was detected and quantified by Staudinger ligation with a phosphine probe in a microtiter plate format. This approach should be applicable to any glycosyltransferase or group-transfer enzyme that tolerates unnatural azido substrates.

Nickel-catalyzed coupling of alkenes, aldehydes, and silyl triflates.

A full account of two recently developed nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions of alkenes, aldehydes, and silyl triflates is presented. These reactions provide either allylic alcohol or homoallylic alcohol derivatives selectively, depending on the ligand employed. These processes are believed to be mechanistically distinct from Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-ene reactions, and several lines of evidence supporting this hypothesis are discussed.

The processing and characterization of animal-derived bone to yield materials with biomedical applications. Part II: milled bone powders, reprecipitated hydroxyapatite and the potential uses of these materials.

Further studies on the processing and use of animal-bone-derived calcium phosphate materials in biomedical applications are presented. Bone powders sourced either from the direct crushing and milling of bovine, ovine and cervine bone or after being subjected to defatting and acid digestion/NaOH reprecipitation and sodium hypochlorite hydrogen peroxide treatment of animal bones were characterized using Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, 13C solid state magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, atomic absorption (AA) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometric techniques. Bone powders were trialled for their potential use as a substrate for phosphine coupling and enzyme immobilization as well as a feedstock powder for plasma spraying on titanium metal substrates. Results indicated that enzyme immobilization by phosphine coupling could be successfully achieved on milled cervine bone with the immobilized enzyme retaining some activity. It was found that the presence of impurities normally carried down with the processing of the bone materials (viz., fat and collagen) played an important role in influencing the adsorbency and reactivity of the powders. Plasma spraying studies using reprecipitated bovine-derived powders produced highly adherent coatings on titanium metal, the composition of which was mostly hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) with low levels of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-Ca3(PO4)2) and tetracalcium phosphate (Ca4P2O9) also detected. In general, animal derived calcium phosphate materials constitute a potentially cheaper source of calcium phosphate materials for biomedical applications and make use of a largely under-utilized resource from abattoir wastes.

Hypervalent, low-coordinate phosphorus(III) centers in complexes of the phosphadiazonium cation with chelate ligands.

Trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenylimino)phosphine, Mes*NPOTf (Mes = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl, OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate, triflate) reacts quantitatively with the multifunctional ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-BIPY), N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane (DEPE), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DIPHOS), and N,N,N',N' ',N' '-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) to give the Lewis acid-base complexes [Mes*NP(2,2'-BIPY)][OTf], [Mes*NP(TMEDA)][OTf], [Mes*NP(DIPHOS)][OTf], [Mes*NP(DEPE)][OTf], and [Mes*NP(PMDETA)][OTf], respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the closest contact of the ligand donor atoms occurs at phosphorus in all cases, affecting significant displacement of the OTf anion. The resulting cations [Mes*NP(L)]+ are best described as complexes of a neutral chelating ligand on a phosphadiazonium Lewis acceptor, and highlight the potential for electron-rich centers to behave as Lewis acids despite the presence of a lone pair of electrons at the acceptor site. More importantly, the new complexes represent rare examples of systems containing hypervalent, low-coordinate phosphorus(III) centers.

Nickel-catalyzed, carbonyl-ene-type reactions: selective for alpha olefins and more efficient with electron-rich aldehydes.

Described are several classes of unusual or unprecedented carbonyl-ene-type reactions, including those between alpha olefins and aromatic aldehydes. Catalyzed by nickel, these processes complement existing Lewis acid-catalyzed methods in several respects. Not only are monosubstituted alkenes, aromatic aldehydes, and tert-alkyl aldehydes effective substrates, but monosubstituted olefins also react faster than those that are more substituted, and large or electron-rich aldehydes are more effective than small or electron-poor ones. Conceptually, in the presence of a nickel-phosphine catalyst, the combination of off-the-shelf alkenes, silyl triflates, and triethylamine functions as a replacement for an allylmetal reagent.

Absolute configuration of tert-butyl-1-(2-methylnaphthyl)phosphine oxide.

The enantiomers of tert-butyl-1-(2-methylnaphthyl)phosphine oxide 1 have been separated using a homemade HPLC column and an analytical gradient system. Vibrational absorption and circular dichroism spectra for both enantiomers have been measured in CD2Cl2 and CH2Cl2 solutions in the 2000-900 cm(-1) region. The fully relaxed potential energy surface of (S)-tert-butyl-1-(2-methylnaphthyl)phosphine oxide, obtained using the B3LYP functional with a 6-31G basis set, indicated two stable conformers with their populations in a approximately 2:1 ratio. The vibrational absorption and VCD spectra are predicted for these two conformers using the B3LYP functional with a 6-31G basis set. The comparison of predicted and experimental spectra indicated that (+)-tert-butyl-1-(2-methylnaphthyl)phosphine oxide is in the (S)-configuration. This assignment is supported by the ab initio prediction of positive optical rotation for the most stable conformer with an (S)-configuration and the nonequivalence sense of the tert-butyl group chemical shift observed in the 1H NMR spectrum of this enantiomer measured in the presence of (+)-(S)-mandelic acid as a chiral solvating agent.

Regio- and chemoselective covalent immobilization of proteins through unnatural amino acids.

A general approach was developed for the regio- and chemoselective covalent immobilization of soluble proteins on glass surfaces through an unnatural amino acid created by post-translationally modifying the cysteine residue in a CaaX recognition motif with functional groups suitable for "click" chemistry or a Staudinger ligation. Farnesyl diphosphate analogues bearing omega-azide or omega-alkyne moieties were attached to the cysteine residue in Cys-Val-Ile-Ala motifs at the C-termini of engineered versions of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) by protein farnesyltransferase. The derivatized proteins were attached to glass slides bearing linkers containing azide ("click" chemistry) or phosphine (Staudinger ligation) groups. "Click"-immobilized proteins were detected by fluorescently labeled antibodies and remained attached to the slide through two cycles of stripping under stringent conditions at 80 degrees C. GFP immobilized by a Staudinger ligation was detected by directly imagining the GFP fluorophore over a period of 6 days. These methods for covalent immobilization of proteins should be generally applicable. CaaX recognition motifs can easily be appended to the C-terminus of a cloned protein by a simple modification of the corresponding gene, and virtually any soluble protein or peptide bearing a CaaX motif is a substrate for protein farnesyltransferase.
