A Novel Chemo‐selective Epoxidation across Acrylate Ester: Synthesis of New Water‐Soluble Forskolin Analogues

While removing the TBDMS group from OH protection, a novel epoxidation reaction occurred across acrylate ester attached to a forskolin fragment. Besides spectroscopic data, the epoxide formation was confirmed by ring opening with a secondary amine. This unique epoxidation reaction, to our knowledge, is not known in the literature. This reaction led us to discover a simple deblocking protocol. The epoxide and the desired Michael substrates were used to introduce imidazole into forskolin.     

Application of oxetane ring opening toward stereoselective synthesis of zincophorin fragment

A stereoselective synthesis of the C1–C11 fragment of zincophorin was achieved by using an intramolecular oxetane ring opening reaction as the key step. The oxetane moiety was synthesized by employing a desymmetrization protocol developed at our group and a non-Evans syn aldol as the key steps toward the synthesis.     

Stereoselective total synthesis of penaresidin A starting from d-galactal

A stereoselective total synthesis of penaresidin A has been accomplished involving Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, regioselective ring-opening of epoxide, azetidine formation via S_N2 reaction, Jung’s protocol, and Julia–Kocienski olefination. This approach has successfully demonstrated the synthetic utility of d-galactal in the construction of azetidine core of the natural product.     

One-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidines via eco-friendly phosphorus derivatives catalysis

A straightforward, cost effective and eco-friendly protocol for the Biginelli reaction relying on the use of readily available hypophosphorous acid is presented. The methodology developed displays improvements compared to existing methods, is high-yielding, robust and was applied to a panel of dihydropyrimidines and thio-derivatives with various substituents. Related urea derivatives such as guanidines, benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles also reacted efficiently to afford more complex scaffolds. Thus, this rapid and convenient catalysis allows access to a wide diversity of structures including original biologically relevant heterocycles.     

Avoiding Pitfalls in Comparison of Activity and Selectivity of Solid Catalysts for Electrochemical HMF Oxidation

Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) offers a renewable approach to produce the value-added platform chemical 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The key for the economic viability of this approach is to develop active and selective electrocatalysts. Nevertheless, a reliable catalyst evaluation protocol is still missing, leading to elusive conclusions on criteria for a high-performing catalyst. Herein, we demonstrate that besides the catalyst identity, secondary parameters such as materials of conductive substrates for the working electrode, concentration of the supporting electrolyte, and electrolyzer configurations have profound impact on the catalyst performance and thus need to be optimized before assessing the true activity of a catalyst. Moreover, we highlight the importance of those secondary parameters in suppressing side reactions, which has long been overlooked. The protocol is validated by evaluating the performance of free-standing Cu-foam, and CuCoO modified with NaPO₂H₂ and Ni, which were immobilized on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. Recommended practices and figure of merits in carefully evaluating the catalyst performance are proposed.     

Initiation of Protein Synthesis with Non‐Canonical Amino Acids In Vivo

By transplanting identity elements into E. coli tRNA^fMet, we have engineered an orthogonal initiator tRNA (itRNA^Ty2) that is a substrate for Methanocaldococcus jannaschii TyrRS. We demonstrate that itRNA^Ty2 can initiate translation in vivo with aromatic non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) bearing diverse sidechains. Although the initial system suffered from low yields, deleting redundant copies of tRNA^fMet from the genome afforded an E. coli strain in which the efficiency of non‐canonical initiation equals elongation. With this improved system we produced a protein containing two distinct ncAAs at the first and second positions, an initial step towards producing completely unnatural polypeptides in vivo. This work provides a valuable tool to synthetic biology and demonstrates remarkable versatility of the E. coli translational machinery for initiation with ncAAs in vivo.
