Synthesis and property of 2,2-difluoro-1,4-diazaborole

Nakahara M., Wada Y., Kawano M., Hanaya K., Sugai T., Higashibayashi S.

Chemistry Letters 53 ( 5 )  2024.05

ISSN  03667022

　View Summary

The synthesis of 2,2-difluoro-1,4-diazaboroles was achieved through the condensation of aliphatic acyltrifluoroborates and amino-N-heteroarenes under acidic conditions. Various N-heteroarenes, including pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, thiazole, and isoquinoline, were successfully employed in the reaction. Among the synthesized 2,2-difluoro-1,4-diazaboroles, the one with an isoquinoline structure exhibited the most intense light blue emission.

Transition-Metal-Free β-Selective C-Glycosylation of β-Glycosyl Boronates via Stereoretentive 1,2-Migration

Yasutomi H., Takeda D., Yoritate M., Higashibayashi S., Sugai T., Hirai G.

Synlett 34 ( 4 ) 347 - 352 2023.03

ISSN  09365214

　View Summary

C-Glycoside analogues of native glycans are useful molecular tools for medicinal chemistry and chemical biology due to their resistance to cellular glycoside hydrolases. We previously reported an α-selective direct C-glycosylation of 2-deoxy-β-glycosyl boronate through a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed stereoinvertive cross-coupling reaction. Here we report a complementary stereoretentive synthetic method for the preparation of β-C-glycosides from a similar boronate precursor through the addition of a C(sp2) anion followed by 1,2-migration of the glycosyl donor.

Copper-Catalyzed Stereoselective Borylation and Palladium-Catalyzed Stereospecific Cross-Coupling to Give Aryl C-Glycosides

Kurahayashi K., Hanaya K., Sugai T., Hirai G., Higashibayashi S.

Chemistry - A European Journal (Chemistry - A European Journal)  29 ( 6 )  2023.01

ISSN  09476539

　View Summary

Metabolically stable C-glycosides are an essential family of compounds in bioactive natural products, therapeutic agents, and biological probes. For their application, development of synthetic methods by connecting glycosides and aglycons with strict stereocontrol at the anomeric carbon, as well as with high functional-group compatibility and environmental compatibility is a pivotal issue. Although Suzuki–Miyaura-type C(sp3)−C(sp2) cross-coupling using glycosyl boronates is a potential candidate for the construction of C-glycosides, neither the cross-coupling itself nor the facile synthesis of the coupling precursor, glycosyl boronates, have been achieved to date. Herein, it was succeeded to develop a copper-catalyzed stereoselective one-step borylation of glycosyl bromides to glycosyl boronates and palladium-catalyzed stereospecific cross-coupling of β-glycosyl borates with aryl bromides to give aryl β-C-glycosides, in which the β-configuration of the anomeric carbon of the glycosyl trifluoroborates is stereoretentively transferred to that of the resulting aryl C-glycosides.

Single-Step N-Terminal Modification of Proteins via a Bio-Inspired Copper(II)-Mediated Aldol Reaction

Hanaya K., Yamoto K., Taguchi K., Matsumoto K., Higashibayashi S., Sugai T.

Chemistry - A European Journal (Chemistry - A European Journal)  28 ( 47 )  2022.08

ISSN  09476539

　View Summary

The chemical modification of proteins is an effective technique for manipulating the properties and functions of proteins, and for creating protein-based materials. The N-terminus is a promising target for single-site modification that provides modified proteins with uniform structures and properties. In this paper, a copper(II)-mediated aldol reaction with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (2-PC) derivatives is proposed as an operationally simple method to selectively modify the N-terminus of peptides and proteins at room temperature and physiological pH. The copper(II) ion activates the N-terminal amino acids by complexation with an imine of the N-terminal amino acid and 2-PCs, realizing the selective formation of the nucleophilic intermediate at the N-terminus. This results in a stable carbon-carbon bond between the 2-PCs and the α-carbon of various N-terminal amino acids. The reaction is applied to four different proteins, including biopharmaceuticals such as filgrastim and trastuzumab. The modified trastuzumab retains the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 recognition activity.

Organic Letters (Organic Letters)  24 ( 30 ) 5596 - 5601 2022.08

ISSN  15237060

　View Summary

We developed a one-step synthesis of acylborons from both readily available acyl chlorides and bis(pinacolato)diboron through copper(I)-catalyzed borylation. Under the reaction conditions using tBuOLi, polystyrene-supported triphenylphosphine as a copper ligand was found to promote the borylation of acyl chlorides while suppressing alcoholysis. This method enables the facile synthesis of potassium acyltrifluoroborates.

　View Summary

The 1H-2-benzopyran-5,8-dione structure was synthesized by a cascade reaction through Michael addition, elimination of HBr, and O-alkylation between a dibromobenzoquinone derivative and β-ketoesters under basic conditions. The reaction using potassium carbonate and 18-crown-6 in THF was the best condition, giving 1H-2-benzopyran-5,8-dione derivatives in good yields. The UV-vis absorption spectrum and cyclic voltammogram of the synthesized 1H-2-benzopyran-5,8-dione derivative were measured, clarifying the photophysical and redox properties.

1,2-Rearrangement from o-Quinols to Multisubstituted Catechols via Retro Diels-Alder Reaction of o-Quinol Dimers

Hashimoto R., Hanaya K., Sugai T., Higashibayashi S.

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan (Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan)  95 ( 4 ) 663 - 672 2022

ISSN  00092673

　View Summary

The 1,2-rearrangement of o-quinols has been a long-standing unsolved problem since 1958. Although the rearrangement is expected to be useful for syntheses of catechol derivatives, it is hampered by many competing reactions and has not been developed as a useful methodology. Here, we succeeded in settling this problem by a first systematic thorough investigation, establishing the 1,2-rearrangement as a cascade reaction with a retro Diels-Alder reaction from o-quinol dimers. This is a useful strategy for syntheses of substituted catechols used as synthetic building blocks for bioactive compounds and material molecules. o-Quinol dimers were synthesized by improved oxidative hydroxylation of substituted phenols followed by spontaneous Diels-Alder reaction. The dimers then underwent the retro Diels-Alder reaction to regenerate the o-quinols followed by 1,2-rearrangement under neutral heating conditions at an appropriate temperature depending on the migratory substituent, furnishing substituted catechols in good yields. The competing reactions such as an elimination of a substituent or α-ketol rearrangement were minimized by controlling the reaction temperature.

Chemoselectivity-independent Cu-mediated coupling to construct the hydroquinoline skeleton of symbioimine

Fujita R., Hanaya K., Sugai T., Higashibayashi S.

Scientific Reports (Scientific Reports)  11 ( 1 )  2021.12

　View Summary

Construction of the hydroquinoline skeleton of symbioimine by Cu-mediated N-alkenylation or O-alkenylation of an allyl aminoalcohol, in which either chemoselectivity could lead to the target compound, was investigated. O-alkenylation followed by Claisen rearrangement was favored with high selectivity under a ligand-free condition. Subsequent intramolecular condensation furnished the hydroquinoline skeleton of symbioimine.

Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry (Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry)  85 ( 3 ) 476 - 480 2021.03

ISSN  09168451

　View Summary

Caffeic acid ß-phenethyl ester (CAPE), an antioxidative bioactive catechol isolated from propolis, was semisynthesized from chlorogenic acid and related compounds in an extract of raw (unroasted) Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) beans in 5 steps and a total yield of 31%. Oxidative degradation of the intermediates and target molecule was prevented by alkaline hydrolysis of the chlorogenic acids in the presence of sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) and deprotection of the catecholic diacetate precursor by Candida antarctica lipase B-mediated transesterification as the final step.
