    De novo biosynthesis of terminal alkyne-labeled natural products Xuejun Zhu1,2, Joyce Liu2,3, Wenjun Zhang1,2,4* 1Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2Energy Biosciences Institute, 3Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 4Physical Biosciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. *e-mail:[email protected] 1 Abstract: The terminal alkyne is a functionality widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical science, material science, and bioorthogonal chemistry. This functionality is also found in acetylenic natural products, but the underlying biosynthetic pathways for its formation are not well understood. Here we report the characterization of the first carrier protein- dependent terminal alkyne biosynthetic machinery in microbes. We further demonstrate that this enzymatic machinery can be exploited for the in situ generation and incorporation of terminal alkynes into two natural product scaffolds in E. coli. These results highlight the prospect for tagging major classes of natural products, including polyketides and polyketide/non-ribosomal peptide hybrids, using biosynthetic pathway engineering. 2 Natural products are important small molecules widely used as drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and biological probes. Tagging natural products with a unique chemical handle enables the visualization, enrichment, quantification, and mode of action study of natural products through bioorthogonal chemistry1-4.

  • 2 Reactions Observed with Alkanes Do Not Occur with Aromatic Compounds 2 (SN2 Reactions Never Occur on Sp Hybridized Carbons!)
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Aromatic compounds are stabilized by this “aromatic stabilization” energy Due to this stabilization, normal SN2 reactions observed with alkanes do not occur with aromatic compounds 2 (SN2 reactions never occur on sp hybridized carbons!) In addition, the double bonds of the aromatic group do not behave similar to alkene reactions Aromatic Substitution While aromatic compounds do not react through addition reactions seen earlier Br Br Br2 Br2 FeBr3 Br With an appropriate catalyst, benzene will react with bromine The product is a substitution, not an addition (the bromine has substituted for a hydrogen) The product is still aromatic Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Aromatic compounds react through a unique substitution type reaction Initially an electrophile reacts with the aromatic compound to generate an arenium ion (also called sigma complex) The arenium ion has lost aromatic stabilization (one of the carbons of the ring no longer has a conjugated p orbital) Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution In a second step, the arenium ion loses a proton to regenerate the aromatic stabilization The product is thus a substitution (the electrophile has substituted for a hydrogen) and is called an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Energy Profile Transition states Transition states Intermediate Potential E energy H Starting material Products E Reaction Coordinate The rate-limiting step is therefore the formation of the arenium ion The properties of this arenium ion therefore control electrophilic aromatic substitutions (just like any reaction consider the stability of the intermediate formed in the rate limiting step) 1) The rate will be faster for anything that stabilizes the arenium ion 2) The regiochemistry will be controlled by the stability of the arenium ion The properties of the arenium ion will predict the outcome of electrophilic aromatic substitution chemistry Bromination To brominate an aromatic ring need to generate an electrophilic source of bromine In practice typically add a Lewis acid (e.g.

O O O X X X HCH RCH RCRЈ Formaldehyde Aldehyde Ketone Although the present chapter includes the usual collection of topics designed to acquaint us with a particular class of compounds, its central theme is a fundamental reaction type, nucleophilic addition to carbonyl groups. The principles of nucleophilic addition to alde- hydes and ketones developed here will be seen to have broad applicability in later chap- ters when transformations of various derivatives of carboxylic acids are discussed. 17.1 NOMENCLATURE O X The longest continuous chain that contains the ±CH group provides the base name for aldehydes. The -e ending of the corresponding alkane name is replaced by -al, and sub- stituents are specified in the usual way. It is not necessary to specify the location of O X the ±CH group in the name, since the chain must be numbered by starting with this group as C-1. The suffix -dial is added to the appropriate alkane name when the com- pound contains two aldehyde functions.* * The -e ending of an alkane name is dropped before a suffix beginning with a vowel (-al) and retained be- fore one beginning with a consonant (-dial). 654 Back Forward Main Menu TOC Study Guide TOC Student OLC MHHE Website 17.1 Nomenclature 655 CH3 O O O O CH3CCH2CH2CH CH2 CHCH2CH2CH2CH HCCHCH CH3 4,4-Dimethylpentanal 5-Hexenal 2-Phenylpropanedial When a formyl group (±CHœO) is attached to a ring, the ring name is followed by the suffix -carbaldehyde.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

  • Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) & Other Reactions Of
    Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) & Other Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Chapter 18 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution • Additions across benzene rings are unusual because of the stability imparted by aromaticity. • Reactions that keep the aromatic ring intact are favored. • The characteristic reaction of benzene is electrophilic aromatic substitution—a hydrogen atom is replaced by an electrophile. Common EAS Reactions Halogenation • In halogenation, benzene reacts with Cl2 or Br2 in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as FeCl3 or FeBr3, to give the aryl halides chlorobenzene or bromobenzene, respectively. • Analogous reactions with I2 and F2 are not synthetically useful because I2 is too unreactive and F2 reacts too violently. • Mechanism of chlorination of benzene General Mechanism of Substitution • Regardless of the electrophile used, all electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions occur by the same two-step mechanism: 1. Addition of the electrophile E+ to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation. 2. Deprotonation with base. Resonance-Stabilized Aromatic Carbocation • The first step in electrophilic aromatic substitution forms a carbocation, for which three resonance structures can be drawn. • To help keep track of the location of the positive charge: Energy Diagram for Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Nitration and Sulfonation • Nitration and sulfonation introduce two different functional groups into the aromatic ring. • Nitration is especially useful because the nitro group can be reduced to an NH2 group. • Mechanisms of Electrophile Formation for Nitration and Sulfonation Reduction of Nitro Benzenes • A nitro group (NO2) that has been introduced on a benzene ring by nitration with strong acid can readily be reduced to an amino group (NH2) under a variety of conditions.

To understand how it works, we need to look at the reaction itself. acylating agent O nucleophile O Y X R X R Y Acyl group being transferred The reaction consists of two reactants: an acylating agent and a nucleophile. The rate of the reaction (and its mechanism) is dependent on the acylating agent and the nucleophile.
