Baker's yeast-mediated approach to (−)-cis- and (+)-trans-Aerangis lactones
摘要:
The first enantioselective synthesis of natural (-)-cis-Aerangis lactone (-)-1a and its (+)-trans-diastereoisomer (+)-lb is described. The key steps in the synthesis are: (i) the enantiospecific and 100% diastereoselective baker's yeast reduction of 1,4-keto acid 2, to afford enantiopure trans- cognac lactone (+)-10; (ii) the regioselective PPL-mediated hydrolysis of the primary acetate moiety of diacetate (+)-(3S,4R)-3, obtained from (+)-10. Chain elongation by one carbon atom via cyanide substitution, and inversion of the configuration of C(5) in nitrile derivative (+)-21a are also required to complete the synthetic route to (-)-1a.

Herein the preparative (1 g scale), stereoselective syntheses of various alkyl‐substituted γ‐butyrolactone fragrances 1 is described. The α,β‐unsaturated γ‐keto esters 2 as starting materials were synthesized by a Horner‐Wadsworth‐Emmons reaction and are further reduced by an ene reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase in a one‐pot enzyme cascade to nine desired γ‐butyrolactones 1, among them whisky (1 c)
best choice for the bioreduction of ethyl 2-oxocyclohexylacetate 2e, which afforded cis-(−)-5e and trans-(−)-5e with 98 and 99% e.e., respectively. Reduction of 3-(2-oxocyclohexyl)propionic acid 3e with Pichia glucozyma gave predominantly the corresponding δ-lactone trans-(−)-6e with 94% e.e., whose absoluteconfiguration was determined by means of CD spectroscopy.
The synthesis of opticallyactive 4-methyl-5-n-butyl- and 5-n-pentylpyrrolidin-2-ones, aza analogues of the corresponding Quercus lactones, has been achieved by a chemoenzymatic procedure, involving in the enantiodifferentiating step the enzymatic kinetic resolution of the corresponding γ-ketoester precursors, followed by reductive amination and subsequent cyclization of the enantiomerically pure hydrolysis
Both enantiomers of the diastereomeric cognac lactones have been synthesised using enzyme assisted reactions in the enantiodifferentiating step. This was accomplished by baker's yeast reduction of their precursors 3-methyl-4-oxononanoic acid and ester and by enzymatic hydrolysis of the latter. An inhibition of hydrolases by the products was observed. Trans-(+)-, trans-(-)-, cis-(+)- and cis-(-)-cognac lactones having 99, 88, 88 and 99% e.e., respectively, were thus obtained. Their CD spectra have also been studied. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
