Studies on Application of Silyl Groups in Ring-Closing Metathesis Reactions and Fragment-Based Probe DiscoveryWang, Yikai 19 December 2012 (has links)
In efforts to search for tool compounds that are capable of probing normal and disease-associated biological processes, both quality and identity of the screening collection are very important. Towards this goal, diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) has been explored for a decade, which aims to populate the chemical space with diverse sets of small molecules distinct from the traditional ones obtained via combinatorial chemistry. In the practice of DOS, macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions have been widely used. However, the prediction and control of stereoselectivity of the reaction is often challenging; chemical transformation of the olefin moiety within the product is in general limited. Chapter I of this thesis describes a methodology that addresses both problems simultaneously and thus extends the utility of the RCM reactions. By installing a silyl group at the internal position of one of the olefin termini, the RCM reaction could proceed with high stereoselectivity to afford the (E)-alkenylsiloxane regardless of the intrinsic selectivity of the substrate. The resulting alkenylsiloxane can be transformed to a variety of functionalities in a regiospecific fashion. The conversion of the (E)-alkenylsiloxanes to alkenyl bromides could proceed with inversion of stereochemistry for some substrates allowing the selective access of both the E- and Z-trisubstituted macrocyclic alkenes. It was also found that the silyl group could trap the desired mono-cyclized product by suppressing nonproductive pathways. Chapter II of this thesis describes the application of the concept of DOS in the area of fragment-based drug discovery. Most fragment libraries used to date have been limited to aromatic heterocycles with an underrepresentation of chiral, enantiopure, \(sp^3\)-rich compounds. In order to create a more diverse fragment collection, the build/couple/pair algorithm was adopted. Starting from proline derivatives, a series of bicyclic compounds were obtained with complete sets of stereoisomers and high \(sp^3\) ratio. Efforts are also described toward the generation of diverse fragments using methodology described in Chapter I. The glycogen synthase kinase \((GSK3\beta)\) was selected as the proof-of-concept target for screening the DOS fragments. / Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: O capítulo 1 relata as sínteses da macrolactona da migrastatina 11 e da macrolactona análoga 62a. A macrolactona da migrastatina é o composto que apresenta a maior atividade de inibição de migração de células tumorais in vitro dentre os compostos da família da migrastatina até hoje sintetizados. A macrolactona 62a, ainda inédita na literatura, é epímero em C8 da macrolactona 62b sintetizada pelo grupo do Professor Danishefsky em 2004 e apresenta atividade de inibição semelhante à macrolactona 11. Além disso, foram realizados estudos visando à síntese da macrolactona 124, epímero da macrolactona 11. Paralelamente, em colaboração com a Farmoquímica Cristália e o grupo do Professor Adriano Andricopulo, do IF/USP de São Carlos, foram realizados testes de avaliação biológica de diversos compostos sintetizados neste trabalho com o intuito de gerar novas substâncias químicas bioativas candidatas a novos fármacos no tratamento do câncer de mama. O capítulo 2 relata a síntese e aplicação de alguns substratos contendo grupos funcionais que ainda não haviam sido testados frente à reação de metátese de alcinos utilizando um novo catalisador de molibdênio. Este projeto foi desenvolvido no laboratório do Professor Alois Fürstner, no Instituto Max-Planck, em Mülheim an der Ruhr ¿ Alemanha. Além disso, um precursor do fragmento B das Latrunculinas A e B foi sintetizado em grande escala, fornecendo material para subsequentes estudos químicos e biológicos / Abstract: Chapter 1 describes the syntheses of macrolactones 11 and 62a. Macrolactone 11 presents the best tumor cell migration inhibitory effect among the compounds of the migrastatin family synthesized so far. Macrolactone 62a, not described in the literature, is the C8-epimer of macrolactone 62b, which was synthesized by Professor Danishefsky¿s group in 2004 and shows similar antitumor activities when compared to macrolactone 11. Studies aiming at the synthesis of macrolactone 124, epimer of macrolactone 11, were also performed. Besides, in collaboration with Farmoquímica Cristália and Professor Andricopulo¿s group (IF/USP, São Carlos), biological assays of several compounds synthesized in this work were carried out, with the purpose of developing new bioactive chemical substances which may soon be employed in the manufacturing of novel drugs in the treatment of breast cancer.Chapter 2 describes the syntheses of new substrates for applications in Mo-catalyzed RCAM. This project was carried out in Professor Fürstner¿s laboratory, at Max-Planck Institute, in Mülheim an der Ruhr ¿ Germany.

Real-time analysis of ring closing metathesis reactionsLiu, Jie 15 May 2018 (has links)
Ring closing metathesis (RCM) is a chemical transformation that converts a bisalkene compound into a cycloalkene. It is catalyzed by transition metal complexes containing carbene ligands (that feature metal-carbon double bonds). The mechanism is well-understood, however, there are numerous details of the reaction that are less well understood, especially concerning catalyst activation and decomposition and formation of byproducts. This thesis takes a new approach to the study of RCM: analysis of the reaction using real-time mass spectrometric techniques. Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry was employed in this study, and the real-time aspect was enabled by using pressurized sample infusion (PSI). Observation of the reactants and products was enabled using charge-tagged bis-alkenes of the general formula [Bu2N{(CH2)nCH=CH2}2]+ [PF6]–. These were synthesized in two steps using a generally applicable methodology to generate a wide range of ring sizes of the product, from 5- to 15-membered rings. Examination of their behavior under carefully optimized RCM conditions using Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst showed a wide variation in reaction rates and amount of byproducts, largely due to ring-strain effects (especially high for 5- and 9-membered rings). Byproducts always exhibited a 14 Da mass unit difference from starting materials or products, and Orbitrap MS analysis confirmed it was CH2. Isomerization was suspected to lead to byproducts. A pathway for byproducts via isomerization and cross metathesis was proposed. The source of actual isomerization catalyst was believed to be from the precatalyst itself as the evidence of precatalyst decomposition was observed. Finally, to prove our isomerization hypothesis, an authentic isomerization catalyst was deliberately added into a fast and clean reaction along with Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst, and it produced the expected byproducts. Only small amounts of oligomeric intermediates were observed, probably because of the low
concentrations used. [ClPCy3]+ was a new short-lived decomposition product stemming from catalyst breakdown, along with already-known imidazolium and protonated phosphine decomposition products. Overall, the thesis provides deep new insights into the nature of RCM reactions, in particular revealing the importance of isomerization in RCM reactions that are slow due to ring strain effects and in uncovering a new decomposition pathway for important RCM catalysts. / Graduate

New Ru-Based Catalysts and Strategies for Kinetically Controlled Stereoselective Olefin Metathesis:Xu, Chaofan January 2020 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Amir H. Hoveyda / Chapter 1. In Situ Methylene Capping: A Key Strategy in Catalytic Stereoretentive Olefin MetathesisA general approach for in situ methylene capping that significantly expands the scope of catalyst-controlled stereoselective olefin metathesis is presented. By incorporation of stereodefined 2-butene as the capping reagent, the catechothiolate Ru complex is enabled to catalyze olefin metathesis reactions of terminal alkenes. Substrates bearing a carboxylic acid, an aldehyde, an aryl substituent, an α substituent were thus converted to the desired products in 47–88% yield and 90:10–98:2 Z:E selectivity. The capping strategy was also applied in ring-closing metathesis reactions leading to 14- to 21-membered macrocyclic alkenes (96:4–98:2 Z:E). The utility of this method was highlighted through synthesis of a platelet aggregate inhibitor and two members of the prostaglandin family compounds by cross-metathesis reaction, as well as a strained 14-membered ring stapled peptide by macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis. Examples of the corresponding E-selective cross-processes are provided as well. Chapter 2. Synthesis of Z- or E-Trisubstituted Allylic Alcohols and Ethers by Kinetically Controlled Catalytic Cross-MetathesisKinetically controlled Ru-catalyzed cross-metathesis reactions that generate Z- or E-trisubstituted alkenes are discussed. Reactions were catalyzed by catechothiolate Ru complex to generate trisubstituted allylic alcohols and ethers in up to 81% yield and >98% stereoisomeric purity. The approach is applicable to synthesis of products containing an alcohol, an aldehyde, a carboxylic acid or an alkenyl substituent. Mechanistic models that account for the observed trends in efficiency and stereoselectivity will be provided. Chapter 3. A New Ru-Based Catechothiolate Complex Bearing an Unsaturated NHC Ligand for Synthesis of Z-α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds by Cross Metathesis Design and development of a new Ru catechothiolate complex that may be used to promote Z-selective cross-metathesis transformations that afford Z-α,β-unsaturated esters, acids, and amides (including Weinweb amides) are discussed. Comparison between Ru catechothiolate complexes with an unsaturated NHC and a saturated NHC ligand will be provided. Utility of the approach is demonstrated by an eight-step synthesis (15% overall yield) of an intermediate for synthesis of stagonolide E, and a five-step synthesis of a precursor to dihydrocompactin / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Synthesis of Carbohydrate Mimics and Development of a Carbohydrate Epimerisation MethodRamstadius, Clinton January 2010 (has links)
In this thesis the synthesis of several hydrolytically stable carbohydrate mimics with the potential to function as glycosidase or lectin inhibitors are described. This work is presented in Chapters 2-5. Chapters 2 and 3 describe synthetic efforts for producing carbasugars, and include the first synthesis of 1,2-bis-epi-valienamine and the preparation of two previously known aminocarbasugars. All three compounds were synthesised starting from D-mannose, using ring-closing metathesis as the key step. 1,2-Bis-epi-valienamine was found to inhibit Cellulomonas fimi β-mannosidase with a Ki value of 140 mM. Also included is the development of a novel synthetic route from cheap D-fructose to three mannose-mimicking carbasugars using a ring-closing metathesis strategy. Two of the compounds are potential inhibitors of the FimH adhesin. In Chapters 4 and 5 the synthesis of a number of pseudodisaccharides are presented; valienamine- and epi-valienamine-containing pseudodisaccharides and a small library of S-linked pseudodisaccharides were prepared. Various synthetic strategies were explored, including an alkylation strategy, Mitsunobu couplings, and sulfonate displacements. This is the first report on the synthesis of a valienamine pseudodisaccharide with β-lyxo-configuration. Two of the S-linked pseudodisaccharides were found to bind to Concanavalin A with high affinity. The final chapter (Chapter 6) of this thesis focuses on the development of a carbohydrate epimerisation method using transition metal catalysis. Two equilibrium constants involving gluco/manno- and gluco/allo-alcohols were determined via this method. / At the time od doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 2: Submitted.

Synthesis Of Sesquiterpenes Containing Two Vicinal Quaternary Carbon AtomsRao, M Srinivasa 05 1900 (has links)
Among nature's creation, terpenoids are more versatile and exciting natural products. In a remarkable display of synthetic ingenuity and creativity, nature has endowed terpenes, more so sesquiterpenes, with a bewildering array of carbocyclic frameworks with unusual assemblage of rings and functionality. This phenomenal structural diversity of this class of natural products makes them ideal targets for developing and testing new synthetic strategies for efficient articulation of carbocyclic frameworks. The present thesis entitled "Synthesis of sesquiterpenes containing two vicinal quaternary carbon atoms" describes the synthesis of a number of herbertane sesquiterpenoids, antimicrobial sesquiterpenes enokipodins A and Bf and spirocyclic sesquiterpenes acorone and isoacorones based on ring-closing metathesis reaction. In the thesis, the compounds are sequentially numbered (bold), and references are marked sequentially as superscript and listed at the end of thesis. All the figures included in-the thesis were obtained by DIRECT XEROX OF THE ORIGINAL NMR SPECTRA, and in some of them uninformative areas have been cut to save the space.
The herbertane sesquiterpenes are relatively a new class of aromatic sesquiterpenes, containing sterically crowded l-aryl-l,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane carbon framework incorporating two vicinal quaternary carbon atoms on a cyclopentane ring. The sterically crowded molecular framework coupled with the novel biological properties associated with the phenolic herbertanes made the herbertenoids challenging synthetic targets. In the present investigations, to begin with, a formal total synthesis of (±)-herbertenediol and (±)~ mastigophorenes A-D was developed starting from vanillin, based on a combination of Wacker oxidation and intramolecular aldol reactions.
A general ring-closing metathesis (RCM) based methodology was developed for a-cuparenone and the herbertane sesquiterpenes herbertene, a-herbertenol, f)~herbertenol and herbertenediol starting from the appropriately substituted acetophenones. The acetophenones on Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction followed by regioselective reduction generated 5-arylbut-2-enols, which on Claisen rearrangement furnished 3~aryl-3-methylpent-4-enals. Grignard reaction with vinylmagnesium bromide followed by RCM reaction and oxidation transformed 3-aryl-3-methylpent~4-enals into 4~aryl-4-methylcylopentenones, which were further transformed into 3-aryl-2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentanones, thus, completing the formal synthesis of the sesquiterpenes (±)-a-cuparenone, (±)-herbertene, (±)-a-herbertenol, (±)-pherbertenol and (±)'herbertenediol.
In continuation of the synthesis of herbertane sesquiterpenes, a Claisen rearrangement and RCM reaction based strategy was developed for the synthesis of (±)~lt14-herbertenediol and (±)-71-epi-herbertenolide, and marine sesquiterpenes {£)-tochuinyl acetate and (±)-dihydrotochuinyl acetate. Ortho ester Claisen rearrangement of 3-arylbut-2~ enols generated 3-aryl~3-methylpent-4-enoates, which on allylation and RCM reactions generated 2~methyl-2-arylcyclopent-3-encarboxylates. Stereoselective alkylation followed by functional group manipulations transformed 2-methyl'2-arylcyclopent'3-encarboxylates into the marine sesquiterpenes (±)-tochuinyl acetate and (±)-dihydrotochuinyl acetate, (±)-ll-epiherbertenolide and (±)~l,,14-herbertenediol.
Total synthesis of (±)-lt13-herbertenediol has been accomplished employing an RCM reaction as the key step. The requisite starting material 2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl acetate was obtained from p-cresol. Two sequential allylation reactions followed by RCM reaction transformed 2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl acetate into 1 -arylcyclopent-3-en-l-carboxylate. Allylic oxidation and alkylation followed by functional group manipulation transformed I-arylcyclopent-3-en-l-carboxylate into (±)-U3-herbertenediol.
For the enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-a-herbertenol, an aromatic Claisen rearrangement based strategy was developed starting from the readily available monoterpene (R)-limonene. To begin with, limonene was converted into 5-isopropenyl-2-methylcyclopent-l-enemethanol which on Mitsunobu reaction with p-cresol followed by Claisen rearrangement of the resultant aryl ether generated a mixture of3-isopropenyl-3a,7,8b-trimethyl-2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]benzofurans. Degradation of the isopropenyl group and cleavage of the central ether ring transformed the major cyclopentabenzofuran into 3-aryl-2,3-dimethylcyclopentanone, which was further elaborated into (+)-a-herbertenol.
The general RCM reaction methodology developed for the herbertenoids has been further extended to the first total synthesis of the antimicrobial sesquiterpenes (±)~ enokipodins A andB, and a formal total syntheses of (±)-cuparene-l,4-diol, (±)-cuparene-lt4-quinone and (±)~HM-1 methyl ether star*w« from 2,5~dimethoxy~4-methylacetophenone. It has been further extended to the formal synthesis of spirocydic sesquiterpenes (±)-acorone and (±)-isoacorones starting from cyclohexane-1,4-dione.

PART I. DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF BICYCLIC INTERNAL BETA-TURN MIMETICS AND THEIR INCORPORATION INTO BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE LIGANDS; PART II. SYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC PEPTIDES BY RINGMin, Byoung Joon January 2010 (has links)
beta-Turns in many biologically active peptides are important secondary structural elements which are critical for their biological activities. Hence, it is not surprising that beta-turn based pharmacophore design including beta-turn mimetics has become a central topic in medicinal chemistry in addition to alpha-helix or helical peptides. One of the advantages of such beta-turn mimetics is that they can better control torsion angles of the backbone of peptides and to some degree dihedral angles chi (X). These beta-turn mimicking scaffolds are designed to have a higher avidity for the acceptor by overcoming what otherwise is the inherent entropic cost paid for beta-turn formation upon binding to the acceptor. Among different synthetic strategies to bicyclic structures as beta-turn mimetics, consecutive formation of bicyclic structures using tandem acid-catalyzed N-acyliminium ion cyclization is attractive since this methodology was well established in the synthesis of natural product alkaloids. 1,3,6,8-Substituted tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4,7-diones were designed and synthesized as internal beta-turn mimetics through an acid-catalyzed tandem acyliminium ion cyclization. Its development and synthesis are decribed in Chapter 2 to Chapter 4. Its application toward the development and synthesis of a small molecule ligand for melanocortin receptors is described in Chapter 5. In addition, the development of peptidomimetics for opioid receptors is explained in Chapter 6. On the other hand, a dicarba analogue having opioid receptor agonist, and dicarba analogues for MCRs were synthesized through solid phase synthesis including a ring closing metathesis reaction using Grubbs' catalyst (I) in Chapter 8.
