Efficient synthesis of globoside and isogloboside tetrasaccharides by using beta(1-->3) N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase/UDP-N-acetylglucosamine C4 epimerase fusion protein

The beta(1-->3) N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase/UDP-N-acetylglucosamine C4 epimerase fusion protein was constructed and used in coupled enzymatic reactions to synthesize a variety of globotetraose and isoglobotetraose derivatives from the corresponding lactoside acceptors.     

The tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group in the synthesis of 1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides

Treatment of 2-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)anilines with phosgene at 20 °C was proposed as a novel route to 1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(4H )-one 1-oxides. This method involves a new reaction, viz., an intramolecular interaction of the tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group with a C-electrophile (leading to the formation of the N(2)—C(3) bond of the triazine ring) followed by elimination of the tert-butyl group. Complete assignment of the signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the compounds obtained was performed. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of (3R,4S)- and (3S,4R)-3-methoxy-4-methylaminopyrrolidine

An efficient and a convenient enantioselective synthesis of (3R,4S)-3-methoxy-4-methylaminopyrrolidine has been carried out by a lipase-mediated resolution protocol. This method describes the preparation of (±)-1-Cbz-cis-3-azido-4-hydroxypyrrolidine starting from commercially available diallylamine followed by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) via S_N2 displacement reactions. Pseudomonas cepacia lipase immobilized on diatomaceous earth (Amano PS-D) provides (3R,4S)-11 and (3S,4R)-12 in an excellent enantiomeric excess.

Application of the N-hydroxymethyl group to the stereoselective synthesis of (3S,4S)-3-aminodeoxystatine derivatives

Stereoselective synthesis of two 3-aminodeoxystatine derivatives was achieved. Chiral γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated esters containing an N-aminomethyl group undergo the stereoselective conjugate addition with an internal carbamate or amide nitrogen nucleophile. The diastereoselectivity was about 10:1 by ¹H NMR. Thus, the 3-aminodeoxystatine derivatives were prepared from commercially available N-Boc-l-leucine in nine steps in overall yields of 26% and 20% for the benzyl carbamate and the acetamide derivatives, respectively.     

Enantioselective synthesis of (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol by Candida antarctica lipase B

An efficient biocatalytic process has been developed to obtain optically pure (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)- 4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol which can be used as the key intermediate of ticagrelor. In this research, several N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent-2-en-1-ol derivatives have been investigated in which Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was used to catalyze the asymmetric hydrolysis reaction. As expected, some of these substrates successfully gave (1S,4R)-N-(benzylcarbamoyl)-4-aminocyclopent- 2-en-1-ol in >98% enantiomeric excess (ee) with conversion yields up to 45%.

Three synthetic methods for the preparation of (3S,4S)-3-methoxy-4-methylaminopyrrolidine, an important intermediate in the synthesis of the novel quinolone antitumor agent, AG-7352, have been developed. By one route, an efficient and large-scale preparation of the chiral pyrrolidine could be achieved through resolution of (±)-1-Boc-3-benzylamino-4-hydroxypyrrolidine, which is prepared from either 3-pyrroline or 1,4-dichloro-2-butene.     

1-(3-Chlorophenyl)-4-(3-phenylseleno propyl) piperazine (L); synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,DFT studies,antimicrobial evaluation and its reactivity toward group 12 metal chlorides

Abstract

C₆H₅Se^?Na⁺ (generated in situ by NaBH₄ reduction of (C₆H₅Se)₂) on reaction with ClC₃H₆C₄H₈N₂ClC₆H₅ under N₂ atmosphere results in C₆H₅SeC₃H₆C₄H₈N₂ClC₆H₅ (L) as a cream-colored solid. Its 1:1 metal complexes having the general formula [MLX₂], where M?=?Zn, Cd, Hg, and X?=?Cl, have been prepared. Ligand L and its complexes 1–3 are characterized on the basis of physico-chemical and spectral (FT-IR, ESI Mass, ¹H, ¹³C, DEPT 135° ¹³C {¹H}, and ⁷⁷Se{¹H} NMR) studies. IR spectroscopy revealed that L is coordinated solely through selenium and nitrogen to zinc, cadmium, and mercury ions forming a six-membered chelate ring around M(II) ions. Elemental analysis measurements along with ¹H, ¹³C, DEPT 135° ¹³C {¹H}, and ESI-mass data also confirm the bidentate coordination mode of the ligand. Moreover, the coordination from selenium atom is also supported by the downfield shift of signal in ⁷⁷Se{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. Using DFT-based optimization of structures, the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps and molecular electrostatic potential surface of ligand L and complexes 1–3 were theoretically calculated at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. Ligand L and complexes 1–3 display significant antibacterial and antifungal activity.

4-Hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone-3-carboxamides synthesis and properties

Reaction of some α-phthalimidoacetamides 1a-i with sodium ethoxide was carried out under drastic conditions. Compounds 1b-g afforded 4-hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone-3-carboxamides 2b-g , while 1h-i afforded the acid 3a-b together with the expected isoquinolones 2h-i. Compound 1a gave phthalimide as the major product. Compounds 2 are acidic and unstable in basic media. The most acidic compounds presented the longest half-life. An explanation of these results was given.

The crystal structure of LaIr₄B₄ has been refined from single crystal counter data. LaIr₄B₄ is tetragonal,P4₂/n,Z=2, isotypic with NdCo₄B₄, |F|/|F _o|=0.039 for 312 independent reflections [|F _o|>2 (F _o)]. ThIr₄B₄ and ThOs₄B₄ also belong to the NdCo₄B₄-type structure. URu₄B₄ and UOs₄B₄ were found to crystallize with LuRu₄B₄-type structure. The crystal chemistry of (RE)T ₄B₄-phases is discussed and simple geometric relations are shown to exist between them.Dedicated to Prof.B. T. Matthias in celebration of his 60th birthday.

Ammonium octahydrotriborate (NH4B3H8): new synthesis, structure, and hydrolytic hydrogen release

A metathesis reaction between unsolvated NaB(3)H(8) and NH(4)Cl provides a simple and high-yield synthesis of NH(4)B(3)H(8). Structure determination through X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals weak N-H(δ+)---H(δ-)-B interaction in NH(4)B(3)H(8) and strong N-H(δ+)---H(δ-)-B interaction in NH(4)B(3)H(8)·18-crown-6·THF adduct. Pyrolysis of NH(4)B(3)H(8) leads to the formation of hydrogen gas with appreciable amounts of other volatile boranes below 160 °C. Hydrolysis experiments show that upon addition of catalysts, NH(4)B(3)H(8) releases up to 7.5 materials wt % hydrogen.

A practical synthesis of (3R,4R)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxymethylpyrrolidin-3-ol

The title compound (+)-, required for production of transition state analogue inhibitors of enzymes involved in T-cell-dependent disorders, was synthesized in five steps. A 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrone formed from formaldehyde and N-benzylhydroxylamine to diethyl maleate gave the racemic cis-isoxazolidine (+/-)-. Reduction of the N-O bond of this compound gave pyrrolidone (+/-)- in excellent yield. A very efficient enzymic resolution of this racemic product led to the title enantiomer (+)-. This route employs only one chromatographic purification.
