Abstract
Oxaloacetic acid (OAA) is a β-ketocarboxylic acid, which plays an important role as an intermediate in some metabolic pathways, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle, gluconeogenesis and fatty acid biosynthesis. Animal studies have indicated that supplementing oxaloacetic acid shows an increase of lifespan and other substantial health benefits including mitochondrial DNA protection, and protection of retinal, neural and pancreatic tissues. Most of the chemical transformations of OAA in the metabolic pathways have been extensively studied; however, the understanding of decarboxylation of OAA at the atomic level is relatively lacking. Here, we carried out MD simulations and combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations as an example to systematically elucidate the binding modes, keto-enol tautomerization and decarboxylation of OAA in the active site of macrophomate synthase (MPS), which is a Mg(II)-dependent bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the decarboxylation of OAA and [4+2] cycloaddition of 2-pyrone with the decarboxylated intermediate of OAA (pyruvate enolate). On the basis of our calculations, it was found that the Mg2+-coordinated oxaloacetate may exist in enol forms and keto forms. The four keto forms can be transformed into each other by simply rotating the C2-C3 single bond, nevertheless, the keto-enol tautomerization strictly requires the assistance of pocket water molecules. In addition, the decarboxylation is stereo-electronically controlled, i.e., it is the relative orientation of the terminal carboxyl anion that determines the rate of decarboxylation. As such, the chemistry of oxaloacetate in the active site of MPS is complex. On one hand, the most stable binding mode (K-I) may undergo enol-keto tautomerization to isomerize to the enol form, which may further react with the second substrate; on the other hand, K-I may isomerize to another binding mode K-II to proceed decarboxylation to generate pyruvate enolate and CO2. Starting from K-I, the enol-keto tautomerization corresponds to a barrier of 16.2 kcal mol-1, whereas the decarboxylation is associated with an overall barrier of 19.7 kcal mol-1. These findings may provide useful information for understanding the chemistry of OAA and the catalysis of related enzymes, and they are basically in agreement with the available experimental kinetic data.

Abstract
The isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of para-nitrophenyl esters to 2,6-disubstituted para-quinone methides is reported. para-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the para-nitrophenyl ester, is proposed to facilitate catalyst turnover in this transformation. A range of para-nitrophenyl ester products can be isolated, or derivatized in situ by addition of benzylamine to give amides at up to 99% yield. Although low diastereocontrol is observed, the diastereoisomeric ester products are separable and formed with high enantiocontrol (up to 94:6 er).

Abstract
Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed enantioselective decarboxylative aldol reaction of tryptanthrin with aryl-substituted β-keto acids is developed, providing a straightforward approach to deliver a series of phaitanthrin A analogues. Both enantiomers of the products can be obtained with good to high enantioselectivity in the presence of a single chiral ligand by simply changing the copper salts. Based on the X-ray crystallographic analysis of chiral Cu(II)-bisoxazoline complexes, the tentative stereochemical models are presented to account for the observed counteranion-induced switching in enantioselectivity.
