Abstract
Biomimetic N-acetylcysteamine thioesters are essential for the study of polyketide synthases, non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and fatty acid synthases. The chemistry for their preparation is, however, limited by their specific functionalization and their susceptibility to undesired side reactions. Here we report a method for the rapid preparation of N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) 7-hydroxy-2-enethioates, which are suitable for the study of various enzymatic domains of megasynthase enzymes. The method is based on a one-pot sequence of hydroboration and the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. The optimization of the reaction conditions made it possible to suppress potential side reactions and to introduce the highly functionalized SNAC methacrylate unit in a high yield. The versatility of the sequence was demonstrated by the synthesis of the complex polyketide-SNAC thioesters 12 and 33. Brown crotylation followed by the hydroboration to Suzuki–Miyaura reaction sequence enabled the introduction of the target motif in significantly fewer steps and with a higher overall yield and stereoselectivity than previously described approaches. This is the first report of a transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction in the presence of an SNAC thioester.
