Abstract
Methods for establishing the absolute configuration of sulfur‐stereogenic aza‐sulfur derivatives are scarce, often relying on cumbersome protocols and a limited pool of enantioenriched starting materials. We have addressed this by exploiting, for the first time, a feature of sulfonimidamides in which it is possible for tautomeric structures to also be enantiomeric. Such sulfonimidamides can readily generate prochiral ions, which we have exploited in an enantioselective alkylation process. Selectivity is achieved using a readily prepared bis‐quaternized phase‐transfer catalyst. The overall process establishes the capability of configurationally labile aza‐sulfur species to be used in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
We report a redox-neutral Ni(II)-catalyzed addition of (hetero)aryl boroxines to N-sulfinyltritylamine (TrNSO). The reactions use a catalyst generated from the combination of commercial, air-stable NiCl2·(glyme) and a commercially available bipyridine ligand, and deliver sulfinamide products. The scope of the reaction is established using a sulfonimidamide synthesis, in which the initially formed sulfinamides undergo oxidative chlorination with the inexpensive and safe chlorinating agent, trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), to produce sulfonimidoyl chlorides as key intermediates. These are combined in situ with a range of amines to deliver sulfonimidamides. The sulfonimidoyl chlorides can also be elaborated into primary sulfonamides via hydrolysis, and sulfonimidoyl fluorides via treatment with fluoride. These transformations are all achieved using one-pot procedures. Unprotected, primary sulfinamides are also available. For larger-scale reactions, the catalyst loading can be reduced to 1 mol %.

Antibacterial sulfonimidamide-based oligopeptides as type I signal peptidase inhibitors: Synthesis and biological evaluation. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 224:113699. [PMID: 34352713 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2021.113699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Oligopeptide boronates with a lipophilic tail are known to inhibit the type I signal peptidase in E. coli, which is a promising drug target for developing novel antibiotics. Antibacterial activity depends on these oligopeptides having a cationic modification to increase their permeation. Unfortunately, this modification is associated with cytotoxicity, motivating the need for novel approaches. The sulfonimidamide functionality has recently gained much interest in drug design and discovery, as a means of introducing chirality and an imine-handle, thus allowing for the incorporation of additional substituents. This in turn can tune the chemical and biological properties, which are here explored. We show that introducing the sulfonimidamide between the lipophilic tail and the peptide in a series of signal peptidase inhibitors resulted in antibacterial activity, while the sulfonamide isostere and previously known non-cationic analogs were inactive. Additionally, we show that replacing the sulfonamide with a sulfonimidamide resulted in decreased cytotoxicity, and similar results were seen by adding a cationic sidechain to the sulfonimidamide motif. This is the first report of incorporation of the sulfonimidamide functional group into bioactive peptides, more specifically into antibacterial oligopeptides, and evaluation of its biological effects.
