It has been shown for the first time that enolisable anhydrides can participate in highly efficient and diastereo/enantioselective additions to activated ketones. In these reactions the anhydride component formally acts (initially) as the nucleophilic component. These processes are promoted by novel, readily prepared urea-substituted cinchona alkaloid-derived catalysts at low loadings under mild conditions. Three classes of enolisable anhydride and three different types of activated ketone were shown to be compatible with the process - generating a diverse range of structurally distinct and densely functionalised lactone products with the formation of two new stereocentres, one of which is quaternary. In one example, a product incorporating two contiguous quaternary stereocentres (one all carbon) was formed with outstanding enantiocontrol. It has been shown in the case of glutaconic anhydride derivatives that the cycloaddtion process is reversible, and can be accompanied by decarboxylation and olefin isomerisation. Reaction conditions can be modified to give access to three types of product with good-excellent ee.

The human tRNA-guanine transglycosylase displays promiscuous nucleobase preference but strict tRNA specificity

Claire Fergus, Mashael Al-Qasem, Michelle Cotter, Ciara M. McDonnell, Emiliano Sorrentino, Franciane Chevot, Karsten Hokamp, Mathias O. Senge, John M. Southern, Stephen J. Connon, Vincent P. Kelly

Summary: Base modification can occur throughout a transfer RNA molecule, with a particular emphasis on position 34 of the anticodon loop. Human enzymes can recognize a wide range of artificial derivatives for transfer RNA incorporation, while displaying strict specificity for decoding certain codons. Exploiting the queuosine incorporation pathway shows broad potential for intentionally engineering chemical diversity into transfer RNA anticodons.

Base-free enantioselective SN2 alkylation of 2-oxindoles via bifunctional phase-transfer catalysis

Mili Litvajova, Emiliano Sorrentino, Brendan Twamley, Stephen J. Connon

Summary: This study demonstrates the application of N-protected oxindole derivatives with unprecedented malleability in enantioselective phase-transfer-catalysed alkylations. By optimizing the structure of the catalyst, high levels of enantioselectivity were achieved. It was found that urea-based catalysts outperformed squaramide derivatives, and that installing a chlorine atom in the quinoline moiety of the catalyst improved reaction selectivity.

Preparation of Lactams from Cyclic Anhydrides via N-Carboxyanhydride Intermediates

Simon N. Smith, Stephen J. Connon

Summary: The ring contraction-lactamisation of anhydrides with trimethylsilylazide in the presence of an amine catalyst has been studied. It is possible to generate 5,- 6- and 8-membered ring lactams from cyclic anhydrides under controlled conditions, with a simple operation procedure. Succinic anhydrides can be used to produce N-carboxyanhydrides for polymer chemistry and as beta-peptide precursors.

Mechanistic Insights into the Organocatalytic Kinetic Resolution of Oxazinones through Alcoholysis

Cristina Trujillo, Sarah A. Cronin, Stephen J. Connon

Summary: A complete computational study was conducted to rationalize a new organocatalytic approach for the kinetic resolution of 4-substituted oxazinones, resulting in highly enantioenriched beta-amino acids. The study also investigated the alcoholytic kinetic resolution of a 7-memebered ring analogue for the first time, generating enantioenriched gamma-amino acids.

De-novo designed β-lysine derivatives can both augment and diminish the proliferation rates of E. coli through the action of Elongation Factor P

Summary: This study investigates the impact of modified beta-lysines on the growth rates of eubacterial cells. The results indicate that the observed effects are due to the post translational modification of Elongation Factor P (EFP) catalyzed by PoxA. The promiscuity of PoxA allows for examination of a wide range of exogenous beta-lysines.

The kinetic resolution of oxazinones by alcoholysis: access to orthogonally protected β-amino acids

Sarah A. Cronin, Stephen J. Connon

Summary: This study introduces a novel approach to catalytic, alcoholytic kinetic resolution of oxazinones using a stereochemically dense cinchona alkaloid-based catalyst. The catalyst enables highly enantiodiscriminatory ring-opening of oxazinones equipped with electrophilic aryl units, leading to the generation of orthogonally protected beta-amino acids for the first time.

Enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalysed intermolecular crossed benzoin condensations: improved catalyst design and the role of in situ racemisation

Eoghan G. Delany, Stephen J. Connon

Summary: The enantioselective intermolecular crossed-benzoin condensation mediated by novel chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes derived from pyroglutamic acid has been investigated. Increasing both the steric requirement and the electron-withdrawing characteristics of the N-aryl ring led to more chemoselective, efficient and enantioselective chemistry. Subsequent protocol optimization involving o-substituted benzaldehyde as one reacting partner allowed a range of crossed-benzoins to be synthesized in moderate-good yields with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity.

Summary: A new 1,2,4-triazole-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine hybrid system, 6-acylpyrrolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c]pyrazine, was synthesized using a catalyst-free method. This method involved sequential exposure of pyrrole-2-carbonitrile-derived substrates to DMF-DMA and acyl hydrazide, resulting in the formation of acylated pyrazine and 1,2,4-triazole rings, enabling the installation of various substituents at specific positions on the core skeleton.

Anju Chadha, Santosh Kumar Padhi, Selvaraj Stella, Sowmyalakshmi Venkataraman, Thangavelu Saravanan

Summary: Alcohol dehydrogenases are enzymes that use cofactors for oxidation or reduction reactions of alcohols or carbonyl compounds. They are utilized in green chemistry and have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals. Recombinant enzymes have solved the challenge of producing purified enzymes in large quantities. Engineered alcohol dehydrogenases have been used in asymmetric synthesis in industry. Various methods have been established for regenerating expensive cofactors to make the enzymatic process more efficient and economically viable.
