Metallosupramolecular Architectures of Ambivergent Bis(Amino Acid) Biphenyldiimides

The metallosupramolecular chemistry of two enantiopure dicarboxylate ligands has been explored for their potential to form discrete or polymeric interlocked motifs. Consequently, both discrete and polymeric supramolecular complexes have been synthesised, yielding M₂L₂ metallomacrocycles ( 1 and 2 ), a heteroleptic M₂L₃ metallomacrobicycle ( 3 ), a non‐interpenetrated coordination polymer ( 4 ), and highly unusual chiral M₈L₈ squares ( 5 and 6 ). There appears to be a preference for the ligands to form M₂L₂‐type metallomacrocyclic structural units (which feature in 1 – 4 ), although these do not engage in any mechanical interlocking, which is perhaps a combined function of the ligand flexibility and relatively small pi‐surface contrasted to previous analogues. Using copper paddlewheel SBUs, chiral double‐walled squares ( 5 and 6 ) are formed with large internal cavities yet poor stabilities, unexpectedly featuring the paddlewheel motifs at the vertices of the polygonal complex.     

Comparison of Experimental Strategies to Study l-Type Amino Acid Transporter 1 (LAT1) Utilization by Ligands

l-Type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), expressed abundantly in the brain and placenta and overexpressed in several cancer cell types, has gained a lot of interest in drug research and development, as it can be utilized for brain-targeted drug delivery, as well as inhibiting the essential amino acid supply to cancer cells. The structure of LAT1 is today very well-known and the interactions of ligands at the binding site of LAT1 can be modeled and explained. However, less is known of LAT1′s life cycle within the cells. Moreover, the functionality of LAT1 can be measured by several different methods, which may vary between the laboratories and make the comparison of the results challenging. In the present study, the usefulness of indirect cis-inhibition methods and direct cellular uptake methods and their variations to interpret the interactions of LAT1-ligands were evaluated. Moreover, this study also highlights the importance of understanding the intracellular kinetics of LAT1-ligands, and how they can affect the regular function of LAT1 in critical tissues, such as the brain. Hence, it is discussed herein how the selected methodology influences the outcome and created knowledge of LAT1-utilizing compounds.

Synthesis of Novel Nucleic Acid Mimics via the Stereoselective Intermolecular Radical Coupling of 3'-Iodo Nucleosides and Formaldoximes(1)

A highly convergent free radical coupling of alkyl iodides and oximes, mediated by bis(trimethylstannyl) benzopinacolate (8), has been utilized to prepare a series of dimeric nucleosides as mimics of natural nucleic acids. The systematic optimization of the reaction conditions allowed for the single-step conversion of the appropriate iodides and oximes into the 2'-deoxy dimers 9 in moderate to excellent yields. For example, the reaction of 3'-deoxy-3'-iodo-5'-(triphenylmethyl)thymidine (6a) with 3'-O-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)-5'-O-(methyleneimino)thymidine (7a) in the presence of 8 in degassed benzene gave an 81% yield of 3'-de(oxyphosphinico)-3'-(methyleneimino)-5'-O-(triphenylmethyl)thymidylyl-(3'-->5')-3'-O-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)thymidine (9a). Similarly prepared were dimers containing both pyrimidine (thymine, 5-methylcytosine) and purine (adenine, guanine) bases. The reaction was highly stereoselective, giving only a single dimeric species having the ribo-configuration of the newly introduced C-3'-branched methylene moiety. Also prepared were dimers 16, incorporating 2'-O-methyl ribonucleosides in both halves of the dimer. This required the synthesis of 3'-deoxy-3'-iodo-2'-O-methyl nucleosides 12 as well as 2'-O-methyl-5'-O-methyleneimino nucleosides 15. For example, 5'-O-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)-3'-deoxy-3'-iodo-2'-O-methyl-5-methyluridine (12e) was prepared in 80% yield by displacement of the corresponding triflate with Bu(4)NI. Also prepared were the suitably protected 3'-deoxy-3'-iodo adenosine and guanosine derivatives. Compounds 15 were prepared in high yield by a regioselective Mitsunobu reaction to give the corresponding 5'-O-phthalimido nucleosides 13, which were subsequently converted to the requisite oximes 15. In the 2'-O-methyl series, the pinacolate coupling reaction proceeded with efficiency equal to that observed for the 2'-deoxy series 9, but with slightly less stereoselectivity, giving predominantly the C-3'ribo products 16, contaminated with 5-25% of the epimeric material. Mixed base dimers containing both pyrimidine and purine bases at all possible positions, including purine-purine dimers were prepared. The hydroxylamine or methyleneimino (MI) backbone of several representative dimers so prepared was converted via methylation to give the corresponding methylenemethylimino (MMI)-linked compounds, which are novel phosphate surrogates for use in antisense oligonucleotides.

Trace Determination of Domoic Acid in Sea Water and Phytoplankton by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of the Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) Derivative

Abstract

A method is presented for the trace determination of domoic acid, a neurotoxic amino acid responsible for cases of Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning resulting from the consumption of contaminated shellfish. The method involves pre-column derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate to form the FMOC derivative followed by reversed-phase HPLC with fluorescence detection. The detection limit for domoic acid in seawater and aqueous extracts is 15pg/mL (50 pM) using gradient elution, a 20μL injection volume, and a 2.1mm I.D. microbore column. Use of dihydrokainic acid as an internal standard improved quantitation. The method was applied to the detection of domoic acid in seawater, in phytoplankton cultures (Nitzschia pungens forma multiseries), and in natural mixed phytoplankton assemblages in estuarine waters.

Kinetics of the Effect of Some Bidentate Amino Acid Ligands in the Oxidation of Lactic Acid by Chromium(VI)1

The oxidation of lactic acid by Cr(VI) under acidic conditions is catalyzed by bidentate amino acid ligands such as glycine, alanine, aspartic acid and hydroxyproline. Catalysis is a function of [L]/[Cr(VI)] ratio and acidity. Pyruvic acid and acetaldehyde in a ratio of 2 : 1 are obtained as oxidation products in both uncatalyzed and catalyzed oxidation. This supports the previous understanding of the oxidation of -substituted carboxylic acids. Cromium(V) and chromium(VI) behave similarly in a C–H bond rupture (Rocek, J. and Radkowsky, A.E., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1973, vol. 95, p. 7123), whereas Cr(IV) is responsible for C–C bond cleavage products (Wiberg, K.B. and Schafer, H., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1969, vol. 91, p. 927).

Copper(II) Complexes with Chiral Ligands Containing Fragments of Monoterpenoids and Amino Acid Esters

Complexes [CuL¹Cl₂] (I), [CuL²Cl₂] · EtOH (II), and Cu₂L³Cl₄ (III) containing esters of the N-derivatives of optically active amino acids based on (+)-3-carene (L¹, L²) and (?)-α-pinene (L³) are synthesized. The crystal and molecular structures of compounds I and II are determined by X-ray diffraction analyses (CIF files CCDC nos. 1560071 (I), 1560072 (II)). The crystal structure of compound I consists of mononuclear complex molecules. In the structure of compound II, the unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules of mononuclear complex [CuL²Cl₂] and two EtOH molecules. Ligands L¹ and L² perform the tridentate-chelating function by the N atoms of the NH and NOH groups and by the O atom of the C=O group. In compounds I and II, the coordination polyhedra Cl₂N₂O of the Cu atoms are trigonal bipyramid. According to the data of IR and electronic spectroscopy, binuclear complex III has similar coordination polyhedra. The experimental values of μ_eff for compounds I, II, and III at 300 K are 1.93, 1.88, and 2.71 μB. For complex III, the μ_eff(T) dependence in a range of 2–300 K indicates a weak ferromagnetic exchange interaction.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Decarbonylative Trifluoromethylation of Acid Fluorides

While acid fluorides can readily be made from widely available or biomass‐feedstock‐derived carboxylic acids, their use as functional groups in metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions is rare. This report presents the first demonstration of Pd‐catalyzed decarbonylative functionalization of acid fluorides to yield trifluoromethyl arenes (ArCF₃). The strategy relies on a Pd/Xantphos catalytic system and the supply of fluoride for transmetalation through intramolecular redistribution to the the Pd center. This strategy eliminated the need for exogenous and detrimental fluoride additives and allows Xantphos to be used in catalytic trifluoromethylations for the first time. Our experimental and computational mechanistic data support a sequence in which transmetalation by R₃SiCF₃ occurs prior to decarbonylation.
