Identifying the targets of bioactive small molecules is a challenging endeavor for which no general solution currently exists. Classical affinity purification experiments suffer from the need to functionalise a bioactive compound and link it to a solid support, which may interfere with target binding. A modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technique that has partially circumvented this problem is thermal proteome profiling (TPP), which determines the effect of an unmodified small molecule on the thermal stability of the whole proteome simultaneously. Here, we use TPP to identify the mode-of-action of a newly-discovered autophagy inhibitor based on oxazolidinones often employed as chiral auxiliaries. Surprisingly, a significant portion of all ribosomal proteins were found to be destabilized by the inhibitor, highlighting the utility of this technology for determining a challenging mode-of-action.

The 4-isopropyl-5,5-diphenyloxazolidinone (1) is readily prepared from (R)- or (S)-valine ester, PhMgBr, and ethyl chlorocarbonate. It has a melting point of ca. 250°, a low solubility in most organic solvents, and a C=O group which is sterically protected from nucleophilic attack. Thus, the soluble N-acyl-oxazolidinones (7-16) can be prepared from 1 with BuLi at temperatures around 0°instead of - 78°(Scheme 3), their Li enolates can be generated with BuLi, rather than with LDA, and deacylation in the final step of the procedure can be achieved with NaOH at ambient temperatures (Scheme 12), with facile recovery of the precipitating auxiliary 1 (filtering, washing, and drying). The following reactions of N-acyl-oxazolidinones from 1 have been investigated: alkylations (Scheme 4), aminomethylations and hydroxymethylations (Scheme 5), aldol additions (Schemes 6 and 7), Michael additions (Schemes 9 and 10), and a (4 + 2) cycloaddition (Scheme 11). The well-known features of reactions following the Evans methodology (yield, diastereoselectivity, dependence on conditions, counter ions, additives etc.) prevail in these transformations. Most products, however, have higher melting points and a much more pronounced crystallization tendency than those derived from conventional oxazolidinones, and can thus be purified by recrystallization, avoiding chromatography (Table 1). The disadvantage of 1 having a higher molecular weight (ca. 150 Da) than the non-phenyl-substituted auxiliary is more than compensated by the ease of its application, especially on large scale. A number of crystal structures of oxazolidinones derived from 1 and a TiCl4 complex of an oxazolidinone are described and discussed in view of the diastereoselective-reaction mechanisms.
