    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04983-2 OPEN Novofumigatonin biosynthesis involves a non- heme iron-dependent endoperoxide isomerase for orthoester formation Yudai Matsuda 1,2,3, Tongxuan Bai2, Christopher B.W. Phippen1, Christina S. Nødvig1, Inge Kjærbølling1, Tammi C. Vesth1, Mikael R. Andersen 1, Uffe H. Mortensen 1, Charlotte H. Gotfredsen 4, Ikuro Abe 2 & Thomas O. Larsen 1 1234567890():,; Novofumigatonin (1), isolated from the fungus Aspergillus novofumigatus, is a heavily oxy- genated meroterpenoid containing a unique orthoester moiety. Despite the wide distribution of orthoesters in nature and their biological importance, little is known about the biogenesis of orthoesters. Here we show the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of 1 and the identification of key enzymes for the orthoester formation by a series of CRISPR-Cas9-based gene-deletion experiments and in vivo and in vitro reconstitutions of the biosynthesis. The novofumigatonin pathway involves endoperoxy compounds as key precursors for the orthoester synthesis, in which the Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent enzyme NvfI performs the endoperoxidation. NvfE, the enzyme catalyzing the orthoester synthesis, is an Fe(II)- dependent, but cosubstrate-free, endoperoxide isomerase, despite the fact that NvfE shares sequence homology with the known Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. NvfE thus belongs to a class of enzymes that gained an isomerase activity by losing the α- ketoglutarate-binding ability. 1 Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark, Søltofts Plads, 2800 Kgs.

  • Aldehydes Can React with Alcohols to Form Hemiacetals
    340 14 . Nucleophilic substitution at C=O with loss of carbonyl oxygen You have, in fact, already met some reactions in which the carbonyl oxygen atom can be lost, but you probably didn’t notice at the time. The equilibrium between an aldehyde or ketone and its hydrate (p. 000) is one such reaction. O HO OH H2O + R1 R2 R1 R2 When the hydrate reverts to starting materials, either of its two oxygen atoms must leave: one OPh came from the water and one from the carbonyl group, so 50% of the time the oxygen atom that belonged to the carbonyl group will be lost. Usually, this is of no consequence, but it can be useful. O For example, in 1968 some chemists studying the reactions that take place inside mass spectrometers needed to label the carbonyl oxygen atom of this ketone with the isotope 18 O. 16 18 By stirring the ‘normal’ O compound with a large excess of isotopically labelled water, H 2 O, for a few hours in the presence of a drop of acid they were able to make the required labelled com- í In Chapter 13 we saw this way of pound.

  • 1 Protecting Group Strategies in Carbohydrate Chemistry
    1 1 Protecting Group Strategies in Carbohydrate Chemistry Anne G. Volbeda, Gijs A. van der Marel, and Jeroen D. C. Codée Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University, Einsteinweg 55, 2333 CC, Leiden, The Netherlands Carbohydrates are the most densely functionalized class of biopolymers in nature. Every monosaccharide features multiple contiguous stereocenters and bears multiple hydroxyl functionalities. These can, in turn, be decorated with sulfate groups, acyl esters, lactic acid esters and ethers, or phosphate moieties. Amine and carboxylate functions can also be present. Most often, the amine groups are acetylated, but different amide functions are also found, as well as N‐sulfates and alkylated amines. The discrimination of the functional groups on a carbohydrate ring has been and continues to be one of the great challenges in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry [1–3]. This chapter describes the differences in the reactivity of the various func­ tional groups on a carbohydrate ring and how to exploit these in the design of effective protecting group strategies. The protecting groups on a carbohydrate dictate the reactivity of the (mono)saccharide, and this chapter will describe how protecting group effects can be used to control stereoselective transformations (most importantly, glycosylation reactions) and reactivity‐controlled one‐pot synthesis strategies. Applications and strategies in automated synthesis are also highlighted. 1.1 ­Discriminating Different Functionalities on a Carbohydrate Ring The main challenge in the functionalization of a carbohydrate (mono)saccharide is the discrimination of the different hydroxyl functionalities. The – often subtle – differences in reactivity can be capitalized upon to formulate effective protecting group strategies (see Scheme 1.1A).

  • Chapter 3. the Concept of Protecting Functional Groups
    Chapter 3. The Concept of Protecting Functional Groups When a chemical reaction is to be carried out selectively at one reactive site in a multifunctional compound, other reactive sites must be temporarily blocked. A protecting group must fulfill a number of requirements: • The protecting group reagent must react selectively (kinetic chemoselectivity) in good yield to give a protected substrate that is stable to the projected reactions. • The protecting group must be selectively removed in good yield by readily available reagents. • The protecting group should not have additional functionality that might provide additional sites of reaction. 3.1 Protecting of NH groups Primary and secondary amines are prone to oxidation, and N-H bonds undergo metallation on exposure to organolithium and Grignard reagents. Moreover, the amino group possesses a lone pair electrons, which can be protonated or reacted with electrophiles. To render the lone pair electrons less reactive, the amine can be converted into an amide via acylation. N-Benzylamine Useful for exposure to organometallic reagents or metal hydrides Hydrogenolysis Benzylamines are not cleaved by Lewis acid Pearlman’s catalyst Amides Basicity of nitrogen is reduced, making them less susceptible to attack by electrophilic reagent The group is stable to pH 1-14, nucleophiles, organometallics (except organolithium reagents), catalytic hydrogenation, and oxidation. Cleaved by strong acid (6N HCl, HBr) or diisobutylaluminum hydride Carbamates Behave like a amides, hence no longer act as nucleophile Stable to oxidizing agents and aqueous bases but may react with reducing agents. Iodotrimethylsilane is often the reagent for removal of this protecting group Stable to both aqueous acid and base Benzoyloxycarbonyl group for peptide synthesis t-butoxycarbonyl group(Boc) is inert to hydrogenolysis and resistant to bases and nucleophilic reagent.

The Ritter Reaction was used to obtain bridged imines containing an azacyclohexene functionality. The crystal structure of the benzene inclusion compound of one of these was determined, and also that of another spontaneously oxidised example. The reactivity of these bridged imines was then investigated using mercaptoacetic acid, and also dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD). The three bridged imines studied were found to react with DMAD in totally different ways and produced most unusual products whose structures were proved using X-ray crystallography. Mechanistic explanations are provided for the formation of these novel and totally unexpected products. * 6-Methylidene-3,3,7,7-tetramethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one was reacted with acetonitrile and sulfuric acid to deliberately combine molecular rearrangement with Ritter Reaction chemistry. Five different products were obtained and the pathway of formation of these products was uncovered. The structures of three of these rearranged substances were confirmed by X-ray methods. * The rare tricyclo[5.3.1.1 3,9]dodecane ring system is known to contain severe skeletal distortions due to the nature of its skeleton.

Degradable polyethylene mimics containing orthoester groups were synthesized by olefin metathesis polymerization for the first time. Ring-opening metathesis copolymerization (ROMP) of 1,5-cyclooctadiene with four different cyclic orthoester monomers gave linear copolymers with molecular weights up to 38000 g mol−1. Hydrogenation of such copolymers produced semicrystalline polyethylene- like materials, which were only soluble in hot organic solvents. The crystallinity and melting points of the materials were controlled by the orthoester content of the copolymers. The polymers crystallized similar to polyethylene, but the relatively bulky orthoester groups were expelled from the crystal lattice. The lamellar thickness of the crystals was dependent on the amount of the orthoester groups. In addition, the orthoester substituents influenced the hydrolysis rate of the polymers in solution. Additionally, we were able to prove that non-hydrogenated copolymers with a high orthoester content were biodegraded by microorganisms from activated sludge from a local sewage plant.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A neoclerodane orthoester and other new neoclerodane diterpenoids from Teucrium yemense chemistry and efect on secretion of insulin Mohammad Nur‑e‑Alam1*, Ifat Parveen2, Barrie Wilkinson3, Sarfaraz Ahmed1, Rahman M. Hafzur4, Ahmed Bari5, Timothy J. Woodman6, Michael D. Threadgill2,6 & Adnan J. Al‑Rehaily1 Teucrium yemense, a medicinal plant commonly grown in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, is traditionally used to treat infections, kidney diseases, rheumatism, and diabetes. Extraction of the dried aerial parts of the plant with methanol, followed by further extraction with butanol and chromatography, gave twenty novel neoclerodanes. Their structures, relative confgurations and some conformations were determined by MS and 1‑D and 2‑D NMR techniques. Most were fairly conventional but one contained an unusual stable orthoester, one had its (C‑16)–(C‑13)–(C‑14)–(C‑15) (tetrahydro)furan unit present as a succinic anhydride and one had a rearranged carbon skeleton resulting from ring‑contraction to give a central octahydroindene bicyclic core, rather than the usual decalin. Mechanisms are proposed for the biosynthetic formation of the orthoester and for the ring‑contraction. Four novel neoclerodanes increased the glucose‑triggered release of insulin from isolated murine pancreatic islets by more than the standard drug tolbutamide, showing that they are potential leads for the development of new anti‑diabetic drugs. Teucrium is a genus of the Lamiaceae family. Plants in this large genus are perennial herbs, shrubs and subshrubs but present many diferent appearances 1. Tey are widespread in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central and South America and countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea 2.
