Acidic Cleavage (acidic + cleavage)
Selected AbstractsSynthesis of Monosaccharide-Derived Spirocyclic Cyclopropylamines and Their Evaluation as Glycosidase InhibitorsHELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 9 2003Christian Blüchel The glucose-, mannose-, and galactose-derived spirocyclic cyclopropylammonium chlorides 1a,1d, 2a,2d and 3a,3d were prepared as potential glycosidase inhibitors. Cyclopropanation of the diazirine 5 with ethyl acrylate led in 71% yield to a 4,:,5,:,1,:,20 mixture of the ethyl cyclopropanecarboxylates 7a,7d, while the Cu-catalysed cycloaddition of ethyl diazoacetate to the exo -glycal 6 afforded 7a,7d (6,:,2,:,5,:,3) in 93,98% yield (Scheme,1). Saponification, Curtius degradation, and subsequent addition of BnOH or t- BuOH led in 60,80% overall yield to the Z- or Boc-carbamates 11a,11d and 12a,12d, respectively. Hydrogenolysis of 11a,11d afforded 1a,1d, while 12a,12d was debenzylated to 13a,13d prior to acidic cleavage of the N -Boc group. The manno - and galacto -isomers 2a,2d and 3a,3d, respectively, were similarly obtained in comparable yields (Schemes,2 and 4). Also prepared were the differentially protected manno- configured esters 24a,24d; they are intermediates for the synthesis of analogous N -acetylglucosamine-derived cyclopropanes (Scheme,3). The cyclopropylammonium chlorides 1a,1d, 2a,2d and 3a,3d are very weak inhibitors of several glycosidases (Tables,1 and 2). Traces of Pd compounds, however, generated upon catalytic debenzylation, proved to be strong inhibitors. PdCl is, indeed, a reversible, micromolar inhibitor for the ,- glucosidases from C. saccharolyticum and sweet almonds (non-competitive), the , -galactosidases from bovine liver and from E. coli (both non-competitive), the , -galactosidase from Aspergillus niger (competitive), and an irreversible inhibitor of the , -glucosidase from yeast and the , -galactosidase from coffee beans. The cyclopropylamines derived from 1a,1d or 3a,3d significantly enhance the inhibition of the ,- glucosidase from C. saccharolyticum by PdCl, lowering the Ki value from 40,,M (PdCl) to 0.5,,M for a 1,:,1 mixture of PdCl and 1d. A similar effect is shown by cyclopropylamine, but not by several other amines.

Mechanistic investigations indicate the coordination by Lewis acid of the enolsilyl derivative and its 1,4-addition on the azo-ene system of 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes. The migration of the silyl group from a hydrazonic to an amidic nitrogen, its acidic cleavage and the final internal heterocyclization give the final products. Based on NMR studies and ab initio calculations, a plausible explanation for the migration of the silyl protecting group is presented. [source] A simple HPLC-MS method for the quantitative determination of the composition of bacterial medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoatesJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 10 2008Andreas Grubelnik Abstract Bacterial poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) vary in the composition of their monomeric units. Besides saturated side-chains, unsaturated ones can also be found. The latter leads to unwanted by-products (THF ester, secondary alcohols) during acidic cleavage of the polymer backbone in the conventional analytical assays. To prevent these problems, we developed a new method for the reductive depolymerization of medium chain-length PHAs, leading to monomeric diols that can be separated and quantified by HPLC/MS. Reduction is performed at room temperature with lithium aluminum hydride within 5,15 min. The new method is faster and simpler than the previous ones and is quantitative. The results are consistent with the ones obtained by quantitative 1H NMR. [source] Solid-phase synthesis and characterization of N -methyl-rich peptidesCHEMICAL BIOLOGY & DRUG DESIGN, Issue 2 2005M. Teixidó Abstract:, A library of peptides required for a project investigating the factors relevant for blood,brain barrier transport was synthesized on solid phase. As a result of the high N -methylamino acid content in the peptides, their syntheses were challenging and form the basis of the work presented here. The coupling of protected N -methylamino acids with N -methylamino acids generally occurs in low yield. (7-azabenzotriazol-1-yloxy)-tris(pyrrolidino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyAOP) or PyBOP/1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt), are the most promising coupling reagents for these couplings. When a peptide contains an acetylated N -methylamino acid at the N-terminal position, loss of Ac- N -methylamino acid occurs during trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) cleavage of the peptide from the resin. Other side reactions resulting from acidic cleavage are described here, including fragmentation between consecutive N -methylamino acids and formation of diketopiperazines (DKPs). The time of cleavage is shown to greatly influence synthetic results. Finally, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profiles of N -methyl-rich peptides show multiple peaks because of slow conversion between conformers. [source] | ||||||||||
