Chirality Transfer in 5-Exo Cyclizations of Axially Chiral O-Iodoanilides CHIRALITY TRANSFER IN 5-EXO CYCLIZATIONS OF AXIALLY CHIRAL O-IODOANILIDES by Andre J. B. Lapierre B. Sc., McMaster University, 2000 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Andre J.

B. Lapierre, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2005 Stereoselective 5-exo radical and Heck cyclizations of axially chiral o-iodoanilides to enantioenriched oxindoles and dihydroindolones are described. Mechanisms for the transfer of chirality from the atropisomeric anilides to the newly formed stereocenters in the cyclic products are proposed and supported with physical data. Additionally, the N-aryl bond rotation barriers for eight o-iodoanilides are reported. A series of axially chiral N-allyl-o-iodoanilides were cyclized under room temperature radical conditions to dihydroindolones with good to excellent chirality transfer (74–97 %). Cyclization rate constant data is presented to rationalize the regioselective preference for N-allyl over N- acryloyl cyclization when an o-methyl group is present. X-ray crystallography was used to assign absolute configurations to a cyclization precursor/product pair. Radical 5-exo cyclizations of axially chiral o-iodoanilides bearing branched, bulky N-substituents are covered. The bulkiness of N-substituents permitted the resolution of a series of novel o-iodoanilides lacking a second ortho substituent. Radical cyclizations of these o-iodoanilides transferred this transient axial chirality into a new stereocenter in the oxindole products with high fidelity (78–92 %). The first Heck cyclizations of axially chiral o-iodoanilides with chirality transfer (84–89 %) are described. X-ray crystallographic data is presented for one anilide cyclization precursor with studies to elucidate the mechanism of chiral transfer. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE..............................................................................................................................xvi 1.

Darwish*ac Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are very efficient for the treatment of EGFR-mutated lung cancer and show improved therapeutic efficacy. However, treatment with both first- and second-generation TKIs results in acquired resistance and is related to various toxicities; the EGFR T790M mutation has been associated with this resistance. Naquotinib (ASP8273, NQT) is a novel third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been shown to be more potent than osimertinib in the management of L858R plus T790M mutations. However, its bioactivation may occur and promote the formation of reactive electrophiles that are toxic. We hypothesize that these reactive intermediates are potentially involved in the side effects of NQT.

Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we screened for in vitro metabolites of NQT formed during incubation with human liver microsomes and evaluated the generation of reactive electrophiles using capturing agents, such as methoxyamine and potassium cyanide, as nucleophiles that form stable adducts for identification by LC-MS/MS. Eight NQT phase I metabolites were found that had been formed by N-demethylation, oxidation, hydroxylation, and reduction.

Abstract: Thiols play vital and irreplaceable roles in the biological system. Abnormality of thiol levels has been linked with various diseases and biological disorders. Thiols are known to distribute unevenly and change dynamically in the biological system. Methods that can determine thiols’ concentration and distribution in live cells are in high demand. In the last two decades, fluorescent probes have emerged as a powerful tool for achieving that goal for the simplicity, high sensitivity, and capability of visualizing the analytes in live cells in a non-invasive way. They also enable the determination of intracellular distribution and dynamitic movement of thiols in the intact native environments. This review focuses on some of the major strategies/mechanisms being used for detecting GSH, Cys/Hcy, and other thiols in live cells via fluorescent probes, and how they are applied at the cellular and subcellular levels. The sensing mechanisms (for GSH and Cys/Hcy) and bio-applications of the probes are illustrated followed by a summary of probes for selectively detecting cellular and subcellular thiols.

  • Selective Polymerization of 2-Isopropenyl-2-Oxazoline and Cross-Linking Reaction of the Polymers

(Received July 17, 1971) ABSTRACT: The selective polymerization of 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline possessing two polymerizable sites in molecule was studied. Due to a marked difference in .polymeriz­ ability between the isopropenyl and oxazoline groups, this monomer provided soluble linear polymers by radical and cationic polymerization. The former was poly(2-isopro­ penyl-2-oxazoline) with the oxazoline group as a side chain, and the latter N-meth­ acryloyl polyethylenimine. The cross-linking reactions of reactive pendant groups in both polymers, which resulted from the radical and cationic polymerizations, gave cross-linked, insoluble products.

  • Cyclopolymerization XXVIII. Radical Polymerizations of N-Substituted N-Methallyl-2
    Polymer Journal, Vol. 32, No. 2, pp 140~146 (2000) Cyclopolymerization XXVIII. Radical Polymerizations of N-Substituted N-Methallyl-2-(methoxycarbonyl)allylamines : Polymerizability ofUnconjugated Dienes with Functional Groups with Low Homopolymerization Tendency Toshiyuki KoDAIRA t, Michio URUSHISAKI, and Norio KAsAJIMA Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Fukui University, 3-9-1 Bunkyo, Fukui 910-8507, Japan (Received July 8, 1999) ABSTRACT : Radical cyclopolymerizations of N-substituted-N-methallyl-2-(methoxycarbonyl)allylamines (1) were studied to compare their cyclopolymerizabilities with those of N-substituted-N-allyl-2-(methoxycarbonyl)allylamines (2). Monomers 1 with a phenyl(la) and a t-butyl(lb) group as an N-substituent were employed. The phenyl group was cho­ sen, since 2 with an N-phenyl group(2a) was reported to have exceptionally low polymerization tendency among 2. Monomer lb was polymerized to see whether the bulky N-t-butyl group enhances the cyclization tendency of 1 or not, since 1 with an N-methyl group(lc) was reported to yield polymers with pendant unsaturations, though their content is low. It was found that polymerizations of la proceed very slowly like 2a, but the reason for their slow polymerizations was left unsolved. Polymers with high degree of cyclization, 96% for poly(la) and 100% for poly(lb), were obtained even in their bulk polymerizations. This could be an additional support for the proposal made previously. It states that uncon­ jugated dienes, for which monofunctional counterparts do not have homopolymerization tendency yield highly cyclized polymers. This is because both the monofunctional counterparts of 1 are considered to have essentially no homopolym­ erization tendency.

  • Synthesis of Hyperbranched Poly(Tert-Butyl Acrylate) by Self-Condensing Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of a Macroinimer
    846 Macromol. Rapid Commun. 21, 846–852 (2000) Communication: Using 2-hydroxyethyl a-bromoisobuty- rate as initiator, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of tert-butyl acrylate leads to poly(tert-butyl acry- late) (PtBA) with a hydroxyl group at one and a bromine atom at the other end. Esterification of the hydroxyl group of these heterotelechelic polymers with acryloyl chloride — yields PtBA (Mn = 3060) with a polymerizable double bond at one end and a bromine atom at the other end which can act as an initiator in ATRP (“macroinimer”). Self-condensing ATRP of such a macroinimer leads to hyperbranched or highly branched PtBA. The polymer was characterized by GPC viscosity measurements. Even — — at M = 78800, a rather low polydispersity index of M / — w w Mn = 2.6 was obtained. A significantly lower value for the Mark-Houwink exponent (a = 0.47 compared to a = 0.80 for linear PtBA) indicates the compact nature of the Mark-Houwink plots for linear PtBA (9) and branched PtBA F branched macromolecules.

  • Belspo Post-Doctoral Fellowship 2014
    BELSPO POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP 2014 Post Doc: Dr. Angel J. Satti Director: Prof. Filip Du Prez Host University: Ghent University (6 months) Final Scientific Report The following report applies for the research stay of the post-doctoral fellow Dr. Angel J. Satti in UGent under direction of Prof. Filip Du Prez from the Department of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry (Polymer Chemistry Research Group). It comprises the goals achieved of the original proposal, as well as other activities done during the stay, related to the main topic of the original proposal. Original Proposal: Development of a solid-supported thiolactone-based high-throughput synthetic protocol for the preparation of multi-functionalized sequence-defined oligomers Introduction Two decades of progress in the field of living and controlled polymerizations, combined with the elaboration of efficient conjugation reactions, greatly contributed to the elegant preparation of functionalized macromolecular architectures.1 However, these state-of-the-art methodologies, though providing a high degree of structural and topological control, are inadequate tools for controlling the polymer microstructure. Crucial parameters like primary structure (i.e. monomer sequence) and tacticity largely remain unmastered by current man-made approaches. Expectations for the next generation synthetic polymers include their performance as single chains, being able to fold and self-regulate, sense specific molecules and/or catalyze reactions.2 These precisely functionalized linear polymers should
