Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed regioselective and asymmetric allylic alkylation of azlactones with MBH carbonates has been developed with chiral oxalamide-phosphine ligands. The corresponding reaction afforded a range of optically active γ-arylidenyl glutamic acid derivatives bearing an α-chiral quaternary stereocenter in good yields with excellent linear regio- and high enantioselectivity. This protocol furnishes an alternative approach for the construction of enantio-enriched unnatural α-amino acid derivatives.

MOLECULAR PLANT 2019; 12:1577-1586. [PMID: 31760159 DOI: 10.1016/j.molp.2019.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 135] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 11/16/2019] [Accepted: 11/17/2019] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone mediating both local and systemic defense responses in plants. Despite over half a century of research, how plants biosynthesize SA remains unresolved. In Arabidopsis, a major part of SA is derived from isochorismate, a key intermediate produced by the isochorismate synthase, which is reminiscent of SA biosynthesis in bacteria. Whereas bacteria employ an isochorismate pyruvate lyase (IPL) that catalyzes the turnover of isochorismate to pyruvate and SA, plants do not contain an IPL ortholog and generate SA from isochorismate through an unknown mechanism. Combining genetic and biochemical approaches, we delineated the SA biosynthetic pathway downstream of isochorismate in Arabidopsis. We found that PBS3, a GH3 acyl adenylase-family enzyme important for SA accumulation, catalyzes ATP- and Mg2+-dependent conjugation of L-glutamate primarily to the 8-carboxyl of isochorismate and yields the key SA biosynthetic intermediate, isochorismoyl-glutamate A. Moreover, we discovered that EPS1, a BAHD acyltransferase-family protein with a previously implicated role in SA accumulation upon pathogen attack, harbors a noncanonical active site and an unprecedented isochorismoyl-glutamate A pyruvoyl-glutamate lyase activity that produces SA from the isochorismoyl-glutamate A substrate. Together, PBS3 and EPS1 form a two-step metabolic pathway to produce SA from isochorismate in Arabidopsis, which is distinct from how SA is biosynthesized in bacteria. This study closes a major knowledge gap in plant SA metabolism and would help develop new strategies for engineering disease resistance in crop plants.

Abstract
Allylating agents were explored for the asymmetric synthesis of α-allyl-α-aryl α-amino acids by tandem N-alkylation/π-allylation. Cross-metathesis of the tandem product was developed to provide allylic diversity not afforded in the parent reaction; the synthesis of homotyrosine and homoglutamate analogues was completed. Cyclic α-amino acid derivatives could be accessed by ring-closing metathesis presenting a viable strategy to higher ring homologue of enantioenriched α-substituted proline. The eight-membered proline analogue was successfully converted to the pyrrolizidine natural product backbone.

Abstract
omega-AGA IVB is an important lead structure when considering the design of effectors of glutamate release inducting P/Q-type calcium channels. The best route to achieve the analogues possessing the three-dimensional arrangement corresponding to the native binding loop was the introduction of constraint by ring formation via side chain to side chain lactamization for suitably protected Lys and Glu residues. Since tryptophane residue located at position 14 of this neuropeptide has been suggested as essential for binding, analogues in which this amino acid was replaced by aza-tryptophane and alanine were synthesized. The synthesis was carried out on various acid-labile resins (BARLOS chlorotrityl, Rink amide, PEG-based or Wang resins), by Fmoc strategy. In this paper, we describe optimization of the peptide cyclization with various protecting groups, and on resin or in solution cyclization experimental parameters.

Abstract
A new, general, and practical procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of 4-alkylidenyl glutamic acid derivatives via a catalytic enantioselective tandem conjugate addition-elimination on allylic acetates under chiral phase-transfer conditions is reported. A variety of structural types of allylic acetates have been reacted with the benzophenone imine of glycine tert-butyl ester to give the products in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (63-92% yield, 80-97% ee, 8 cases).
