Synthesis of the side chain cross-linked tyrosine oligomers dityrosine, trityrosine, and pulcherosine

[reaction: see text] An efficient synthesis of dityrosine and the first syntheses of the tyrosine trimers trityrosine and pulcherosine have been achieved. Protected 3-iodotyrosine underwent tandem Miyaura borylation-Suzuki coupling to give protected dityrosine. The choice of benzyl carbamate, ester, and ether protecting groups enabled a one-step global deprotection to give dityrosine. Suzuki coupling of protected 3,5-diiodotyrosine and tyrosine-3-boronic acid derivatives gave the corresponding trityrosine, but in low yield. However, use of a potassium tyrosine-3-trifluoroborate derivative in place of the corresponding pinacol boronate ester, in combination with protecting group variation, gave protected trityrosine in good yield. Access to pulcherosine was achieved through copper-catalyzed coupling of phenylalanine-4-boronic acid and 4-O-protected dopa derivatives to give an isodityrosine derivative. Selective halogenation followed by Suzuki coupling with the potassium tyrosine-3-trifluoroborate gave protected pulcherosine. Global deprotection of the protected trityrosine and pulcherosine derivatives completed the first syntheses of the corresponding tris-alpha-amino acids.

Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling of Potassium Organoborates with 6‐Sulfonate Benzimidazoles Using Microwave Irradiation

This article focuses on the utility of organotrifluoroborate salts as coupling partners for Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling with 4‐nitro‐6‐triflyl benzimidazoles using microwave irradiation. The C–C bond formation at the 6‐position of the electron‐rich 1‐,4‐,6‐trisubstituted benzimidazole core is challenging and was not achievable via Kumada, Negishi, Stille, or Heck coupling strategies. Yields of 37–70% could be obtained via palladium coupling strategies utilizing potassium benzyl trifluoroborates as the organometallic coupling partner.     

A simple,quick and novel protocol for biaryl synthesis using LiCl‐promoted in situ‐generated Pd nanoparticles

This paper describes a simple and a very quick protocol for biaryl synthesis using the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction. A quintessential role of salting‐out agent LiCl was observed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction that enhanced the reduction rate of Pd (II) to a considerable extent, resulting in the formation of nanosized palladium in a few seconds. The isolated Pd nanoparticles were characterized with X‐ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, TGA, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction proceeded very well with the in situ‐generated Pd nanocatalysts furnishing the desired biaryl adducts with excellent yields.     

Exploration of structure and mechanism of insoluble gels formed in microwave-assisted Suzuki coupling for poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene)s

A series of poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene)s (PDHFs) have been synthesized via microwave-assisted Suzuki and Yamamoto coupling reactions. Compared with the conventional oil-bath heating (48 h, Mw 20100 g/mol by Suzuki reaction and Mw 24000 g/mol by Yamamoto reaction), microwave-assisted polymerization can yield PDHFs with higher molecular weights (Mw 37200 g/mol by Suzuki reaction and Mw 43400 g/mol by Yamamoto reaction) in shorter time (14 and 60 min). However, sometimes formation of insoluble gels was observed together with PDHF in Suzuki coupling reaction. PDHF and insoluble gels were analyzed by XPS, elemental analysis, FTIR, TGA and DSC. Experimental results demonstrated that H2O might take part in the Suzuki coupling reaction under microwave condition, which could make the cross-linking reaction occur and form gels.     

Mechanistic Aspects of Monomer, Polymer Formation, and Synthesis of PQ-Alt-Dialkyl-fluorene Conjugated Copolymer

Suzuki coupling reaction is widely used in the construction of conjugated polymers; however, there is still no report describing the mechanism and coupling of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone（PQ） building blocks via Suzuki reaction because PQ is sensitive to bases and light. Herein is reported the efficient Suzuki coupling of PQ with 9,10-dialkylfluorene with Na2CO3 as basic species and high molecular weight PQ-Alt-Dialkyl-Fluorene conjugated copolymer obtained in an yield of 42%. Based on the characterization data and well-accepted literature, we proposed a step-by-step mechanistic explanation for the formation of the PQ containing alternating conjugated copolymer.     

The Dominant Role of Oxygen in Modulating the Chemical Evolution Pathways of Tyrosine in Peptides: Dityrosine or Melanin

In diverse biological systems, the oxidation of tyrosine to melanin or dityrosine is crucial for the formation of crosslinked proteins and thus for the realization of their structural, biological, and photoactive functionalities; however, the predominant factor in determining the pathways of this chemical evolution has not been revealed. Herein, we demonstrate for tyrosine‐containing amino acid derivatives, peptides, and proteins that the selective oxidation of tyrosine to produce melanin or dityrosine can be readily realized by manipulating the oxygen concentration in the reaction system. This oxygen‐dependent pathway selection reflects the selective chemical evolution of tyrosine to dityrosine and melanin in anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, respectively. The resulting melanin‐ and dityrosine‐containing nanomaterials reproduce key functions of their natural counterparts with respect to their photothermal and photoluminescent characteristics, respectively. This work reveals the plausible role of oxygen in the chemical evolution of tyrosine derivatives and provides a versatile strategy for the rational design of tyrosine‐based multifunctional biomaterials.     

Regiospecific Suzuki coupling of 3,5-dichloroisothiazole-4-carbonitrile

3,5-Dichloroisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 1 react with aryl- and methylboronic acids to give in high yields the 3-chloro-5-(aryl and methyl)-isothiazole-4-carbonitrile 2 regiospecifically. The reaction was optimized with respect to base, phase transfer agent and palladium catalyst. Suzuki coupling at C-5 was also achieved in high yield using potassium phenyltrifluoroborate. The regiospecificity of either coupling method is maintained with 3,5-dibromoisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 4 to give exclusively 3-bromo-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 5. Suzuki cross-coupling conditions applied to 3-chloro-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 2a gave 3-phenoxy-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 6, which was prepared independently, and not the 3-phenyl derivative. All isothiazole products were fully characterized.     

Microwave-assisted C-C coupling reaction using polymer-supported electron-rich oxime palladacycles in aqueous condition

Previously reported polymer-supported oxime palladacycle catalyst has shown effective catalytic activity in the Suzuki coupling reaction. In this work, the effect of microwave on reaction rate and induction period was examined by comparing them with the conventional heating. Undoubtedly, microwave heating effectively enhanced the catalytic performance in the Suzuki reaction. In-depth observation of the kinetic profiles revealed that the microwave irradiation not only reduced the overall reaction time but also significantly decreased the induction period to less than 3 min. Finally, the performance of the catalyst in water, coupling of potassium phenyltrifluoroborate and aryl bromides, and recyclability were also examined.

The cross coupling can be effected in methanol or water, in the open air, using Pd(OAc)(2) as a catalyst in the presence of K(2)CO(3). A variety of functional groups are tolerated.

Studies toward the synthesis of phomactin A. An approach to the macrocyclic core

An approach to the macrocyclic core of phomactin A is described. Central to this strategy is the use of a cis-fused oxadecalin intermediate, prepared using the dihydropyrone Diels-Alder reaction. The conformational bias inherent to this system is then used to facilitate macrocycle formation via an intramolecular B-alkyl Suzuki coupling.

Heme peroxidase-catalyzed iodination of human angiotensins and the effect of iodination on angiotensin converting enzyme activity

The heme peroxidase-catalyzed iodination of human angiotensins I and II is described. It is observed that lactoperoxidase (LPO) can effectively and selectively iodinate the tyrosyl residues in angiotensin peptides. The thiourea/thiouracil-based peroxidase inhibitors effectively inhibit the iodination reactions, indicating that iodination is an enzymatic reaction and the mechanism of iodination is similar to that of peroxidase-catalyzed iodination of thyroglobulin. This study also shows that the monoiodo Ang I is a better substrate for the angiotensin converting enzyme than the native peptide.

Highly active and reusable hydrotalcite-supported Pd(0) catalyst for Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides

A palladium(0) nanocluster supported on hydrotalcite has been prepared and tested for the Suzuki coupling reaction. The prepared catalyst showed very efficient catalytic activity for cross coupling of iodo- and bromoarenes under very mild reaction conditions, affording >90% yield. Under the optimized reaction conditions, chloroarenenes also showed very good reactivity. Transmission electron microscopic imaging data showed the formation of very small Pd(0)-nanoclusters (d = 2.2 ± 0.5 nm) well dispersed on the support, which enhanced the activity and stability of the catalyst for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. This catalytic system offers an easy method of preparation with good activity and reusability up to five cycles.
