Residual-Chemical-Shift-Anisotropy-Based Enantiodifferentiation in Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Phases Based on Helically Chiral Polyacetylenes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309981. [PMID: 37684219 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202309981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Anisotropic NMR spectroscopy, revealing residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) has emerged as a powerful tool to determine the configurations of synthetic and complex natural compounds. The deduction of the absolute in addition to the relative configuration is one of the primary goals in the field. Therefore, the investigation of the enantiodiscriminating capabilities of chiral alignment media becomes essential. While RDCs and RCSAs are now used for the determination of the relative configuration routinely, RCSAs have not been measured in chiral alignment media such as chiral liquid crystals. Herein, we present this application by measuring RCSAs for chiral analytes such as indanol and isopinocampheol in the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of an L-valine derived helically chiral polyacetylenes. We have also demonstrated that a single 1D 13 C-{1 H} NMR spectrum suffices to get the RCSAs circumventing the necessity to acquire two spectra at two alignment conditions.

Abstract
An NMR weakly-aligning polymer gel has been prepared by copolymerization of acrylonitrile and 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid in the presence of 1,4-butanediol diacrylate as a cross-linker. The polymer readily swells in water in a large range of temperatures, although the swelling ratio is decreased in saline solutions. The swollen gel can be mechanically compressed, in a reversible way, generating anisotropy, as easily shown in 2 H NMR experiments, and allowing measurement of 1 DCH residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) through F1-coupled HSQC experiments. The performance of this gel as a NMR alignment medium was evaluated in several water-soluble organic molecules and, while it provided RDCs of proper size for sucrose and even such as small molecule as 5-norbornen-2-ol, in the case of azidothymidine and cefuroxime sodium salt the strong interaction of these molecules with the gel prevented successful extraction of the RDCs.

Abstract
Lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) phases of amino acid derived polyarylisocyanides were employed as chiral alignment media for the measurement of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) of small chiral organic molecules. Anisotropic samples in CDCl3 displayed quadrupolar splittings of the deuterium signal in the range of several hundreds of Hertz. The LLC phases showed excellent orienting properties for a broad range of analytes bearing various functional groups. The precise extraction of RDCs in the range of up to ±40 Hertz from F2-coupled HSQC spectra was possible. Additionally, the chiral environment offers the opportunity for diastereomorphous interactions with the enantiomers of chiral analytes leading to two different sets of RDCs. This differential order effect was particularly pronounced with ketones and alcohols.

Abstract
Anisotropic samples of lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) phases of valine derived polyaryl acetylenes were employed as chiral alignment media for the measurement of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) of 12 small, chiral, organic molecules. The quadrupolar splitting of the deuterium signal of CDCl3 can be adjusted by temperature and concentration changes from 0 to 350 Hz. The LLC phases showed excellent orienting properties for all analytes bearing various functional groups. The precise extraction of RDCs in the range of up to ±30 Hz from F2-coupled HSQC spectra was possible. Additionally, the chiral environment led to diastereomorphous interactions with the enantiomers of chiral analytes leading to two different sets of RDCs. This differential order effect was particularly pronounced with H-bond donors like alcohols and 2° amines.

Abstract
Determination of configurations and conformations is an important step in the structural characterization of small molecules. Apart from utilizing isotropic J-couplings and nuclear overhauser effect (NOEs) measured in isotropic solution, anisotropic Nuclear Magnetic resonance (NMR) data such as residual dipolar couplings and residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) were also used to elucidate complex small molecule structures. Measuring RCSA has always been historically difficult due to the isotropic shift effect accompanied by molecular alignment and therefore only occasionally applied in a few examples. Here, we present a robust measurement of carbon RCSAs using a smaller gel-stretching device to determine the structures of a few small molecules. A systematic study on how different density functional theory computed anisotropies of the chemical shift anisotropy tensors impact RCSA data interpretation has also been discussed. We also discuss the effect of utilizing various carbons as reference nuclei for RCSA data extraction as well as the orientation behavior of estrone in orthogonal alignment media.

Abstract
NMR-based determination of the configuration of complex molecules containing many stereocenters is often not possible using traditional NOE data and coupling patterns. Making use of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), we were able to determine the relative configuration of a natural product containing seven stereocenters, including a chiral amine lacking direct RDC data. To identify the correct relative configuration out of 32 possible ones, experimental RDCs were used in three different approaches for data interpretation: by fitting experimental data based singular value decomposition (SVD) using a single alignment tensor and either (i) a single conformer or (ii) multiple conformers, or alternatively (iii) using molecular dynamics simulations with tensorial orientational constraints (MDOC). Even though in all three approaches one and the same configuration could be selected and clear discrimination between possible configurations was achieved, the experimental data was not fully satisfied by the methods based on single tensor approaches. While these two approaches are faster, only MDOC is able to fully reproduce experimental results, as the obtained conformational ensemble adequately covers the conformational space necessary to describe the molecule with inherent flexibility.

Abstract
The configurational analysis of complex natural products by NMR spectroscopy is still a challenging task. The assignment of the relative configuration is usually carried out by analysis of interproton distances from NOESY or ROESY spectra (qualitative or quantitative) and scalar (J) couplings. About 15 years ago, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) were introduced as a tool for the configurational determination of small organic molecules. In contrast to NOEs/ROEs which are local parameters (distances up to 400 pm can be detected for small organic molecules), RDCs are global parameters which allow to obtain structural information also from long-range relationships. RDCs have the disadvantage that the sample needs a setup in an alignment medium in order to obtain the required anisotropic environment. Here, we will discuss the configurational analysis of five complex natural products: axinellamine A (1), tetrabromostyloguanidine (2), 3,7-epi-massadine chloride (3), tubocurarine (4), and vincristine (5). Compounds 1-3 are marine natural products whereas 4 and 5 are from terrestrial sources. The chosen examples will carefully work out the limitations of NOEs/ROEs in the configurational analysis of natural products and will also provide an outlook on the information obtained from RDCs.

Abstract
Determination of the stereochemistry of organic molecules still represents one of the major obstacles in the structure elucidation procedure in drug discovery. Although the application of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) has revolutionized this field, residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) which contain valuable structural information for nonprotonated carbons have only been scarcely employed so far. In this study, we present a simple but highly effective solution to extract RCSAs of the analytes in a liquid crystalline phase formed by AAKLVFF oligopeptides. This method does not require any special instruments, devices, or correction during postacquisition data analysis and thus can be easily applied in any chemistry laboratory. To illustrate the potential of this method, the relative configurations of four known natural products (1-4) belonging to different structural classes were confirmed. Moreover, we unambiguously elucidated the stereochemistry of spiroepicoccin A (5), a rare thiodiketopiperazine marine natural product whose configuration could not be assigned based on conventional NMR methods.

Abstract
Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and other residual anisotropic NMR parameters provide valuable structural information of high quality and quantity, bringing detailed structural models of flexible molecules in solution in reach. The corresponding data interpretation so far is directly or indirectly based on the concept of a molecular alignment tensor, which, however, is ill-defined for flexible molecules. The concept is typically applied to a single or a small set of lowest energy structures, ignoring the effect of vibrational averaging. Here, we introduce an entirely different approach based on time averaged molecular dynamics with dipolar couplings as tensorial orientational restraints that can be used to solve structural problems in molecules of any size without the need of introducing an explicit molecular alignment tensor into the computation. RDC restraints are represented by their full 3D interaction tensor in the laboratory frame, for which pseudo forces are calculated using a secular dipolar Hamiltonian as the target. The resulting rotational averaging of each individual tensorial restraint leads to structural ensembles that best fulfil the experimental data. Using one-bond RDCs, the approach has been implemented in the force field procedures of the program COSMOS and extensively tested. A concise theoretical introduction, including the special treatment of force fields for stable and fast MD simulations, as well as applications regarding configurational analyses of small to medium-sized organic molecules with different degrees of flexibility, is given. The observed results are discussed in detail.
