(+)‐Nootkatone is a high‐value sesquiterpenoid known for its grapefruit‐odor impression. Its isolation from natural plant sources suffers from low yields, and chemical syntheses involve carcinogenic or hazardous compounds. Herein, a biocatalytic route for the synthesis of (+)‐nootkatone that combines two enzymes in one pot is presented. In the first step, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase catalyzes the
(+)-Nootkatone是一种高价值的倍半萜类,以其葡萄柚味印象而闻名。它与天然植物来源的分离产量低,化学合成涉及致癌或有害化合物。本文介绍了一种在一个锅中将两种酶结合在一起的(+)-Nootkatone的生物催化路线。第一步,细胞色素P450单加氧酶催化倍半萜(+)-瓦伦烯向中间醇Nootkatol的选择性烯丙基羟基化。第二步,通过醇脱氢酶(ADH)将Nootkatol进一步氧化为(+)-nootkatone。寻找合适的辅因子再生系统的艰巨任务是通过仔细选择适用于双功能模式的ADH的合适辅助底物而解决的。经过反应优化后, L -1和时空产率为18 mg L -1 h -1。

A method separates a reaction product from an imide compound catalyst represented by Formula (1) or an altered derivative thereof in a reaction mixture obtained as a result of a reaction in the presence of the imide compound catalyst by performing an extraction process using two organic solvents separable from each other to thereby separate the reaction product into one organic solvent layer and the imide compound catalyst or an altered derivative thereof into the other organic solvent layer, respectively:
1
wherein R
1
and R
2
are each, for example, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, where R
1
and R
2
may be combined to form a double bond, an aromatic ring, or a non-aromatic ring; and X is an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group.
The method of the invention can efficiently and simply separate a reaction product from a catalyst and/or an altered derivative of the catalyst in a reaction mixture obtained as a result of a reaction of a substrate such as a hydrocarbon using N-hydroxyphthalimide or another imide compound as the catalyst.

An inexpensive, stereoselective synthesis for nootkatone, tetrahydronootkatone, and their derivatives is disclosed utilizing ozonolysis. The starting materials used in the synthesis are inexpensive and the reactions are commercially feasible and amenable to scaling up. The principal starting material, (−)-β-Pinene, is on the GRAS list (generally recognized as safe).

The edible fungus Pleurotus sapidus (PSA) is a particularly interesting biocatalytic system for allylic oxidation and has a remarkably broad substrate range from terpenoids to fatty acids. The oxidations are most likely catalyzed by a lipoxygenase and involve the formation of peroxides via radical intermediates in the first rate-limiting step. We provide herein a rationalization of the observed regioselectivity of these conversions by means of computational determination of bond dissociation enthalpies of a set of tailor-made spirocyclic terpenoids. It was found that only strongly activated allylic positions (BDH298 of <80 kcal/mol) with neighboring heteroatoms or with activating alkyl groups are oxidized to the corresponding unsaturated lactones or enones, respectively. With the synthesis and purification of allylic hydroperoxide intermediates, we have been able to characterize the putative direct precursors of enones in PSA oxidations. Our results suggest a two-step oxidation mechanism involving hydroperoxide intermediates which are rapidly converted to the observed enones by an enzymatic reaction. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
