Abstract
While elucidating the inhibitory mechanism of a hydrolytic enzyme by aldehyde-containing natural product, we discovered a reaction involving a rapid 6π-azaelectrocyclization of azatrienes generated from aldehyde with lysine residues.The electrocyclic reaction of the 1-azatriene system,a cyclization precursor,exhibited a significant substituent effect.Asymmetric chiral piperidine synthesis and a one-pot library synthesis of pyridines on solid-supports were applied to synthesize pyridine/indole alkaloid-type natural product.Additionally,we developed lysine-based labeling and engineering of biomolecules and living cells based on the rapid 6π-azaelectrocyclization.Both labels and oligosaccharide structures were introduced efficiently and selectively into surface lysines under the mild conditions; notable effects of N -glycans on proteins and living cells were visualized for the first time by PET and noninvasive fluorescence imaging.
