Labelled precursors for biosynthetic studies on naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids
摘要:
The isotope labelled monocyclic ketones 5 and 8, postulated precursors to the presumably acetogenic naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, have been synthesized for biogenetic experiments to Ancistrocladaceae and Dioncophyllacene plants. Key step of the preparation of 1-(2'-[carbonyl-C-14]acetyl-3',5'-dibenzyloxyphenyl)-2-propanone ([C-14]-13) is the C-acetylation of the arylpropanone 10 with the mixed pivalic acetic anhydride ([C-14]-11). The resulting pyrylium salt [C-14]-13, which is stable and can be stored, is cleaved directly before the feeding experiment to give the diketone [C-14]-13 and deprotected to give the free phenolic target molecule [C-14]-5. This synthetic route is applicable also to the prepation of 1-(2'-[C-13(2)]acetyl-3'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanone ([C-13(2)]-5) for biosynthetic experiments with NMR analysis. For the preparation of the oxygen-poorer C-13-labelled diketone I-(2'-[methyl-C-13]acetyl-3'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanone ([C-13]-8), an 'indanone-route' has been elaborated.

Approaches are described to the synthesis of a series of isotopicallylabelled L-α-amino acids each with an asymmetric centre at C-3, including isoleucine, allo-isoleucine, threonine and allo-threonine. The methods may be simply adapted for the selective incorporation of an isotopiclabel at each site of L-valine including the selective labelling of either diastereotopic methyl group with carbon-13
