Types of ring opening reactions, epoxides

Acid/enzyme catalyzed


Nucleophilic

Reagent to reduce epoxides to alcohols

LiAlH4

oxirane synthesis from olefins

Uses peroxy acids, proceeds through butterfly intermediate

Common names for the three types of aliphatic 3-membered heterocycles

N-containing: ethylenimine


O-containing: ethylene oxide/epoxide


S-containing: ethylene sulfide/episulfide

Examples of epoxides in our system

Vitamin K epoxide (cofactor in reaction of descarbosy-prothrombin to prothrombin)



Squalene epoxide (precursor to cholesterol)

Strain in three-membered rings makes protons more _____

acidic b/c increased s-character in bonds

Methods of aziridine synthesis

From animoalcohol with thionyl chloride or sulfuric accid



From azide and alkene



From epoxide (stereochemical inversion)

Description of MAPK's

Evolutionarily conserved enzymes connecting cell surface receptors to critical regulatory targets within cells

MAPK stands for

Mitogen activated protein kinase

Types of MAPKs in mammalian cells

1. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2)


2. c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK1/2/3)


3. p38 kinases (p38alpha/beta/gamma/delta)


4. ERK5 (big MAPK/BMK)


5. ERK3s (ERK3/4)


6. ERK7s (ERK 7/8)


Common features of MAPKs

1. Proline-targeted serine/threonine kinases



2. Activation occurs on phosphorylation of two residues in kinase activation loop



3. regulated through tree-tiered cascade of protein phosphorylation

MAPK regulation cascade

mitogen --> MAP3K (MAPK kinase kinase) --> MAP2K (MAPK kinase kinase) --> MAPK

Processes MAPKs are involved with, for example

Transcription


Cell cycle regulation


apoptosis


RSK stands for

Ribosomal s6 kinase

MSK stands for

Mitogen- and stress- activated protein kinase

Signaling cascade in response to mitogens

Mitogens -->



MEK1/2 -->



ERK1/2 -->



RSK 1-4 (cell survival, proliferation), MNK 1/2 (mRNA translation), MSK1/2 (nuclear response to stress)

Signaling cascade in response to stress cytokines

Stress cytokines -->



MEK3/6 -->



p38 -->



MNK1 (mRNA translation), MSK1/2 (nuclear response to stress), MK2,3,6 (mRNA stability)

MAPKs are regulated by

interactions with substrates via docking motifs, scaffold proteins, subcellular localization, phosphatases

Reason why MEK is a dual-specificity kinase

two amino acid residues are on the target protein

Examples of docking motifs that regulate MAPKs

D motif, DEF motif

CD domain stands for

Common Docking domain

Common name: ethylene sulfide, episulfide



Systematic name: thiirane

Relative reactivity of oxirane and thiirane

Both highly reactive, but oxirane is more reactive (because more strained)

Reactions of thiirane

1.nucleophilic ring opening


2. Oxidation by NaIO4 or peroxy acid, yields alkene and SO


Thiirane synthesis methods

1. from 2-chloroethyl mercaptan, with base


2. from 2-hydroxyethane thiol, with COCl2 (phosgene)

Common name: trimethylene oxide



Systematic name: oxetane

Relative reactivity: oxetane to oxirane

Similar reactivity, but oxirane is faster

Reactions of oxetanes

1. acid-catalyzed opening to 1,3-diol


2. Lewis acid-catalyzed polymerization

Methods of oxetane synthesis

1. cyclization of 1,3-diol with base and SO2R


2. Paterno Buchi Reaction (cycloaddition of alkene and carbonyl)

Scientist who discovered penicillin

Alexander Fleming

Taxol contains this type of aliphatic heterocycle

Oxetane

Azetidine

Beta lacatam mechanism

Bind to penicillin binding protein

How do bacteria get resistance to beta lactams?

Beta lactamase hydrolyzes amide bond

Solution to beta lactam resistance

use suicide inhibitor that binds to beta lactamase

Differences between THF and diethyl ether

Oxygen in THF is less sterically hindered, increasing its solvation and making it more H2O soluble

What does alpha-substitution with a carbonyl do to THF?

1. Changes it to gamma lactone



2. Makes it very unstable - very prone to acid or base hydrolysis
