Michael-type Addition (michael-type + addition)
Selected AbstractsFormulation and characterization of radio-opaque conjugated in situ gelling materials,JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH, Issue 1 2010Brandon Blakely Abstract X-ray visibility is an integral design component of in situ gelling embolization systems for neurovascular treatment. The goals of this project included the synthesis and characterization of a unique intrinsically radio-opaque in situ gelling material for neurovascular embolization. The gels formed using Michael-Type Addition between pentaerythritol tetrakis 3-mercaptopropionate (QT) thiols and poly(propylene glycol) diacrylate (PPODA) with the addition of the new material Iodobenzoyl poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate (IPEGA), a radio-opaque agent, synthesized successfully as confirmed with 1H NMR. The PPODA and IPEGA were mixed using a syringe coupler with QT and buffer at pH 11 for 90 seconds. Gel mixes were weighed to provide equal molar thiols and acrylate groups, changing the present acrylate-bearing compounds wt % ratios from 100 PPODA: 0 IPEGA, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, and 0:100. Formulations with 10% and above of IPEGA were X-ray visible. Rheology showed that increasing the amount of IPEGA decreased the storage. Kinetic FT-IR studies indicate that the amphiphilic nature of the PEG backbone increased the reaction rate of the phase segregated reactants. Second order reaction constant modeling showed a change in initial reaction rate from 0.0029 to 0.0187 (M sec),1 from the 10% to 50% IPEGA formulations respectively. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

[source] Nickel-Catalyzed Mizoroki,Heck- versus Michael-Type Addition of Organoboronic Acids to ,,,-Unsaturated Alkenes through Fine-Tuning of LigandsCHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 11 2007Pao-Shun Lin Abstract Various arylboronic acids reacted with activated alkenes in the presence of [Ni(dppe)Br2], ZnCl2, and H2O in CH3CN at 80,°C to give the corresponding Mizoroki,Heck-type addition products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, 1,equivalent of the hydrogenation product of the activated alkene was also produced. By tuning the ligands of the nickel complexes and the reaction conditions, Michael-type addition was achieved in a very selective manner. Thus, various p- and o- substituted arylboronic acids or alkenylboronic acid reacted smoothly with activated alkenes in CH3CN at 80,°C for 12,h catalyzed by Ni(acac)2, P(o -anisyl)3, and K2CO3 to give the corresponding Michael-type addition products in excellent yields. However, for m- substituted arylboronic acids, the yields of Michael-type addition products are very low. The cause of this unusual meta -substitution effect is not clear. By altering the solvent or phosphine ligand, the product yields for m- substituted arylboronic acids were greatly improved. In contrast to previous results in the literature, the present catalytic reactions required water for Mizoroki,Heck-type products and dry reaction conditions for Michael-type addition products. Possible mechanistic pathways for both addition reactions are proposed.

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] Exploring the Active-Site of a Rationally Redesigned Lipase for Catalysis of Michael-Type AdditionsCHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 2 2005Peter Carlqvist Abstract Michael-type additions of various thiols and ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were performed in organic solvent catalyzed by wild-type and a rationally redesigned mutant of Candida antarctica lipase B. The mutant lacks the nucleophilic serine 105 in the active-site; this results in a changed catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The possibility of utilizing this mutant for Michael-type additions was initially explored by quantum-chemical calculations on the reaction between acrolein and methanethiol in a model system. The model system was constructed on the basis of docking and molecular-dynamics simulations and was designed to simulate the catalytic properties of the active site. The catalytic system was explored experimentally with a range of different substrates. The kcatvalues were found to be in the range of 10,3to 4 min,1, similar to the values obtained with aldolase antibodies. The enzyme proficiency was 107. Furthermore, the Michael-type reactions followed saturation kinetics and were confirmed to take place in the enzyme active site. [source] Lewis Acid Induced [2+2] Cycloadditions of Silyl Enol Ethers with ,,,-Unsaturated Esters: A DFT AnalysisEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2005Manuel Arnó Abstract The Lewis acid (LA) induced cycloaddition of trimethysilyl vinyl ether with methyl acrylate has been studied by DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. In the absence of an LA, a [4+2] cycloaddition between the silyl enol ether and methyl acrylate in the s-cis conformation takes place through an asynchronous, concerted bond-formation process. This cycloaddition presents a large activation enthalpy of 21.1 kcal,mol,1. Coordination of the LA AlCl3 to the carbonyl oxygen atom of methyl acrylate yields a change of molecular mechanism from a concerted to a two-step mechanism and produces a drastic reduction of the activation energy. This stepwise mechanism is initialized by the nucleophilic attack of the enol ether at the ,-position of methyl acrylate in a Michael-type addition. The very low activation energy (7.1 kcal,mol,1)associated with this nucleophilic attack can be related to the increase of the electrophilicity of the LA-coordinated ,,,-unsaturated ester, which favors the cycloaddition through a polar process. The subsequent ring-closure allows the formation of the corresponding [2+2] and [4+2] cycloadducts. While the [4+2] cycloadduct is formed by kinetic control, the [2+2] cycloadducts are formed by thermodynamic control. The energetic results provide an explanation for the conversion of [4+2] cycloadducts into the thermodynamically more stable [2+2] ones. The cis/trans ratio found for the catalytic [2+2] process is in agreement with the experimental outcome. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Winterfeld Abstract Base-promoted Michael-type addition of N -Boc- and N -Fmoc-protected serine and threonine esters to 2-nitrogalactal derivatives 2 and 26 led highly selectively to ,-glycosides 4a,d and 27a,c, respectively. Ensuing transformation of threonine derivative 4d and serine derivatives 4a,b resulted in compounds useful as lysine and dipeptide mimetics. 6- O -Desilylation of 27a,c, then 6- O -sialylation, and transformation of the nitro group of the galactose moiety into a 2-acetamido functionality, afforded N -Boc-protected serine and threonine tert -butyl esters 31a,c carrying the O -protected STN -antigen at the hydroxy group. The threonine derivative 31c was then transformed into the N -Fmoc-protected amino acid building block 33, which was employed for the synthesis of mucin repeating unit partial structure Ac-GS(STN)-TAPPAHG-NH2 (1).

[source] Investigation of the Substrate Specificity of Lacticin 481 Synthetase by Using Nonproteinogenic Amino AcidsCHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 5 2009Matthew R. Levengood Abstract One enzyme, many substrates. The substrate specificity of a lantibiotic biosynthetic enzyme, lacticin 481 synthetase, was probed by using synthetic prepeptides containing a variety of nonproteinogenic amino acids, including unnatural ,-amino acids, ,-amino acids, D -amino acids, and peptoids. Lantibiotics are peptide antimicrobial compounds that are characterized by the thioether-bridged amino acids lanthionine and methyllanthionine. For lacticin 481, these structures are installed in a two-step post-translational modification process by a bifunctional enzyme, lacticin 481 synthetase (LctM). LctM catalyzes the dehydration of Ser and Thr residues to generate dehydroalanine or dehydrobutyrine, respectively, and the subsequent intramolecular regio- and stereospecific Michael-type addition of cysteines onto the dehydroamino acids. In this study, semisynthetic substrates containing nonproteinogenic amino acids were prepared by expressed protein ligation and [3+2]-cycloaddition of azide and alkyne-functionalized peptides. LctM demonstrated broad substrate specificity toward substrates containing ,-amino acids, D -amino acids, and N -alkyl amino acids (peptoids) in certain regions of its peptide substrate. These findings showcase its promise for use in lantibiotic and peptide-engineering applications, whereby nonproteinogenic amino acids might impart improved stability or modulated biological activities. Furthermore, LctM permitted the incorporation of an alkyne-containing amino acid that can be utilized for the site-selective modification of mature lantibiotics and used in target identification.

[source] Maleimide-Modified Phosphonium Ionic Liquids: A Template Towards (Multi)Task-Specific Ionic LiquidsCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 30 2010Jocelyn Abstract The synthesis and characterization of several compounds representing a new class of multitask-specific phosphonium ionic liquids that contain a maleimide functionality is reported. The maleimide moiety of the ionic liquid (IL) is shown to undergo Michael-type additions with substrates containing either a thiol or amine moiety, thus, serving as a template to introduce wide structural diversity into the IL. Multitask-specific ILs are accessible by reaction of the maleimide with Michael donors that are capable of serving some function. As a model example to illustrate this concept, a redox active ferrocenyl thiol was incorporated and examined by cyclic voltammetry. Because the maleimide moiety is highly reactive to additions, the task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) are prepared as the furan-protected Diels,Alder maleimide. The maleimide moiety can then be liberated when required by simple heating. [source] |
