Translation of the copper/bipyridine-promoted Petasis reaction to solid phase-coupled DNA for encoded library synthesis

The Petasis three-component reaction gives rise to diverse substituted α-aryl glycines from readily available amines, boronic acids and glyoxalic acid. Thus, this reaction is highly attractive for DNA-encoded small molecule screening library synthesis. The Petasis reaction is for instance promoted by a potentially DNA damaging copper(I)/bipyridine reagent system in dry organic solvents. We found that solid phase-coupled DNA strands tolerated this reagent system at elevated temperature allowing for synthesis of diverse substituted DNA-tagged α-aryl glycines from DNA-conjugated secondary amines.

A novel synthesis methodology for the construction of functionalized dihydropyrones has been developed with amines, glyoxylic acid, and 4-substituted-1,2-oxaborol-2(5H)-ols from the Petasis reaction. Mechanistic investigation indicated the intermolecular SN2 cyclization to provide 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones (3,6-DHP) and 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones (5,6-DHP) in one step with moderate to excellent yields.

Yeni p-alkilaminofenol Bileşiklerinin Sentezi ve Antimikrobiyal ve Antioksidan Aktivitelerinin Araştırılması

Alkylaminophenols are synthetic derivatives well known for their anticancer activity. In this work, we report the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of such compounds. A series (4,5,6) of alkylaminophenol compounds were prepared with very high yields by Petasis reaction. Synthesized compounds were characterized by 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR. The obtained compounds were tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The compound 4 showed antimicrobial activity at a concentration of 10 mg/mL, while the 6 compound showed activity on S. aureus. Phenolic compounds have attracted attention due to their proximal and antioxidant activities. Since alkylaminophenols have phenolic structure, their antioxidant activity has been investigated. Thus, drug-active substances with high antioxidant capacity against diabetes, heart disease, and cancer were synthesized.

Reactivity and Synthetic Applications of Multicomponent Petasis Reactions.

The Petasis boron–Mannich reaction, simply referred to as the Petasis reaction, is a powerful multicomponent coupling reaction of a boronic acid, an amine, and a carbonyl derivative. Highly functionalized amines with multiple stereogenic centers can be efficiently accessed via the Petasis reaction with high levels of both diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. By drawing attention to examples reported in the past 8 years, this Review demonstrates the breadth of the reactivity and synthetic applications of Petasis reactions in several frontiers: the expansion of the substrate scope in the classic three-component process; nonclassic Petasis reactions with additional components; Petasis-type reactions with noncanonical substrates, mechanism, and products; new asymmetric versions assisted by chiral catalysts; combinations with a secondary or tertiary transformation in a cascade- or sequence-specific manner to access structurally complex, natural-product-like heterocycles; and the synthesis of polyhydroxy alkaloids and biologically interesting molecules.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Multicomponent Petasis Reaction with Alkyltrifluoroborates

A redox-neutral alkyl Petasis reaction has been developed that proceeds via photoredox catalysis. A diverse set of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyltrifluoroborates participate effectively in this reaction through a single-electron transfer mechanism, in contrast to the traditional two-electron Petasis reaction, which accommodates only unsaturated boronic acids. This protocol is ideal to diversify benzyl-type and glyoxalate-derived aldehydes, anilines, and alkyltrifluoroborates toward the rapid assembly of libraries of higher molecular complexity important in pharmaceutical and agrochemical settings.

Synthesis and stereochemistry assignment of (3R,5R)- and (3S,5R)-4-benzyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,4-oxazin-2-ones

The diastereoselective synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,4-oxazin-2-ones, the valuable intermediates on the route to tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives, was based on the Petasis reaction in which (R)-(−)-N-benzyl-2-phenylglycinol was used as the amine component. It was demonstrated that the configuration of the newly generated C3 stereogenic centers in synthesized compounds, as well as in other 3,5-disubstituted 1,4-oxazin-2-ones, could be established simply by 1H NMR spectral data analysis. The absolute configuration of the major isomer was additionally confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.

Scalable Synthesis of Biologically Relevant Spirocyclic Pyrrolidines.

Synthetic approaches toward multigram preparation of spirocyclic α,α-disubstituted pyrrolidines from readily available starting materials are discussed. It was shown that although a number of synthetic methodologies have been known to date, many of the title compounds remain hardly accessible. The most appropriate literature method (which relied on reaction of imines and allyl magnesium halide, followed by bromocyclization) was identified and optimized. It was found that the method is most fruitful for simple non-functionalized substrates. Two novel approaches based on the Sakurai or Petasis reactions of cyclic ketones, followed by hydroboration–oxidation at the allyl moiety thus introduced, were elaborated. The latter method had the largest scope and was beneficial for the substrates containing organosulfur or protected amino functions. For the synthesis of 4-azaspiro[2.4]heptane, an alternative synthetic scheme commencing from tert-butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate (instead of the corresponding ketone) was developed. It was shown that the whole set of the methodologies developed can be used for the synthesis of various spirocyclic α,α-disubstituted pyrrolidines—advanced building blocks of potential importance to medicinal and agrochemistry—at up to a 100 g scale.

Petasis Reaction for Late-Stage Functionalization of Peptides

Petasis Reaction for Late-Stage Functionalization of Peptides

Introducing the Petasis Reaction for Late-Stage Multicomponent Diversification, Labeling, and Stapling of Peptides.

For the first time, the Petasis (borono-Mannich) reaction is employed for the multicomponent labeling and stapling of peptides. The report includes the solid-phase derivatization of peptides at the N-terminus, Lys, and Nϵ -MeLys side-chains by an on-resin Petasis reaction with variation of the carbonyl and boronic acid components. Peptides were simultaneously functionalized with aryl/vinyl substituents bearing fluorescent/affinity tags and oxo components such as dihydroxyacetone, glyceraldehyde, glyoxylic acid, and aldoses, thus encompassing a powerful complexity-generating approach without changing the charge of the peptides. The multicomponent stapling was conducted in solution by linking Nϵ -MeLys or Orn side-chains, positioned at i, i+7 and i, i+4, with aryl tethers, while hydroxy carbonyl moieties were introduced as exocyclic fragments. The good efficiency and diversity oriented character of these methods show prospects for peptide drug discovery and chemical biology.

Discovery of a small-molecule inhibitor of specific serine residue BAD phosphorylation

Human BCL-2-associated death promoter (hBAD) is an apoptosis-regulatory protein mediating survival signals to carcinoma cells upon phosphorylation of Ser99, among other residues. Herein, we screened multiple small-molecule databases queried in a Laplacian-modified naive Bayesian-based cheminformatics platform and identified a Petasis reaction product as a site-specific inhibitor for hBAD phosphorylation. Based on apoptotic efficacy against mammary carcinoma cells, N-cyclopentyl-3-((4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl) piperazin-1-yl) (2-hydroxyphenyl) methyl) benzamide (NPB) was identified as a potential lead compound. In vitro biochemical analyses demonstrated that NPB inhibited the phosphorylation of hBAD specifically on Ser99. NPB was observed to exert this effect independently of AKT and other kinase activities despite the demonstration of AKT-mediated BAD-Ser99 phosphorylation. Using a structure-based bioinformatics platform, we observed that NPB exhibited predicted interactions with hBAD in silico and verified the same by direct binding kinetics. NPB reduced phosphorylation of BAD-Ser99 and enhanced caspase 3/7 activity with associated loss of cell viability in various human cancer cell lines derived from mammary, endometrial, ovarian, hepatocellular, colon, prostatic, and pancreatic carcinoma. Furthermore, by use of a xenograft model, it was observed that NPB, as a single agent, markedly diminished BAD phosphorylation in tumor tissue and significantly inhibited tumor growth. Similar doses of NPB utilized in acute toxicity studies in mice did not exhibit significant effects. Hence, we report a site-specific inhibitor of BAD phosphorylation with efficacy in tumor models.

Sulfonamides as Amine Component in the Petasis-Borono Mannich Reaction: A Concise Synthesis of α-Aryl- and α-Alkenylglycine Derivatives­

A catalyst-free three-component synthesis of α-aryl- and α-alkenylglycine derivatives starting from glyoxylic acid, sulfonamides, and aryl- or alkenylboronic acids is described. This operationally simple method tolerates a broad range of functional groups and enables the generation of a wide array of α-amino acids. Sulfonamides were utilized as amine component in the classic Petasis reaction for the first time.

The Discovery of Ultrasound Irradiation as a Useful Tool for Accelerating Petasis Three-component Reaction: Synthesis of α-Arylglycines

Aim and Objective: α-Arylglycines belong to an important class of non-proteinogenic amino acids. Petasis 3-component, one-pot reaction lends itself to be suitable for the synthesis of α-Arylglycines. Because of the low reactivity, Petasis reaction requires long reaction time. Our objective is to use ultrasound irradiation to accelerate this versatile Petasis' synthesis of α-Arylglycines. Materials and Methods: Ultrasound irradiation as a physical tool to accelerate the Petasis 3-component reaction without any auxiliary catalyst can significantly shorten the reaction time. The operation is simple. It can be applied to a wide range of substrates. In order to highlight the remarkable utility of the ultrasound in Petasis reaction, we have compared side-by-side the reactivity between the reaction with ultrasound and the one without ultrasound. Results: Using ultrasound, the reaction times of Petasis reactions with various amine substrates including primary and secondary amines, heterocyclic amines, with a wide variety of boronic acids having different substituents (activating and deactivating groups) in the phenyl rings, and with glyoxylic acid and salicylic aldehyde were shortened from 5 to more than 20-fold. Conclusion: We have discovered the first examples of an efficient ultrasound-promoted approach for Petasis reaction to prepare a series of α-arylglycines in high yields and in excellent purities. The low reactivity of the reactions in this study were significantly enhanced by the ultrasound irradiation. By virtue of the acceleration and the operational simplicity, the present ultrasound assisted Petasis reaction can find applications in the synthetic areas of the already widely used Petasis three-component reaction.

An efficient HCl promoted Petasis reaction of 2-pyridinecarbaldehydes, amines and 1,2-oxborol-2(5H)-ols

A Petasis reaction of 2-pyridinecarbaldehydes with various amines and 4-substituted 1,2-oxaborol-2(5H)-ols was developed. In the presence of HCl, the reaction proceeded smoothly under very mild conditions and the corresponding desired products were obtained in medium to excellent yields. This method allows the access a wide range of highly functionalized allylic alcohols, which might be useful compounds in medicinal and material chemistry.

A novel dual labeling approach enables converting fluorescence labeling reagents into fluorogenic ones via introduction of purification tags. Application to determination of glyoxylic acid in serum

Pre-column derivatization with fluorescence labeling reagents involves many problems including crowded chromatograms, possibility of the introduction of analytical errors, and poor selectivity. Herein we report a novel purification tag/fluorophore dual labeling approach based on a multi-component reaction to solve this major problem. Glyoxylic acid was recently identified as an early biomarker for diabetes, thus it was selected as a model analyte for our new dual labeling approach. Using the multi-component Petasis reaction, we could introduce a fluorophore (1-pyreneboronic acid, 1-PyBA) and a purification tag (taurine) to our target analyte (glyoxylic acid) in one step reaction. Using taurine as the amine reactant in Petasis reaction leads to the formation of a reaction product with a terminal sulfonic acid group which can be selectively retained on an anion exchange sorbent allowing excess fluorescent 1-PyBA reagent and its fluorescent decomposition products to be washed away. Then, quantification of the formed analyte-fluorophore-purification tag adduct was carried out by a simple isocratic HPLC-fluorescence detection method. The newly developed technique allowed highly selective, very rapid and efficient determination of glyoxylic acid in human serum eliminating endogenous components and excess reagent interference. Glyoxylic acid was determined in serum at a final concentration down to 30nM (600 fmol/injection) with good recovery (87.0%), accuracy (− 2.2 to 9.2) and precision (%RSD ≤ 8.7).

Synthesis of Aldehydes by Organocatalytic Formylation Reactions of Boronic Acids with Glyoxylic Acid

AbstractReported herein is a conceptually novel organocatalytic strategy for the formylation of boronic acids. New reactivity is engineered into the α‐amino‐acid‐forming Petasis reaction occurring between aryl boronic acids, amines, and glyoxylic acids to prepare aldehydes. The operational simplicity of the process and its ability to generate structurally diverse and valued aryl, heteroaryl, and α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes containing a wide array of functional groups, demonstrates the practical utility of the new synthetic strategy.
