Synthesis of highly enantioenriched hydroxy- and dihydroxy-fatty esters: substrate precursors for cytochrome P450BioI
摘要:
A series of highly enantioenriched hydroxy- and dihydroxy-fatty esters were required as part of our ongoing investigation into cytochrome P450(BioI). This mediates the biosynthesis of pimelic acid via C-C bond cleavage of long chain fatty acids within Bacillus subtilis. Herein we report the synthesis of various stereoisomers of methyl 7-hydroxytetradecanoate, methyl 8-hydroxytetradecanoate, and methyl 7,8-dihydroxytetradecanoate in highly enantioenriched form, using a combination of asymmetric synthesis and a preparative enantioselective HPLC is reported.
