Efficient synthesis of polycycles bearing prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated citrans: application to 3′-prenylrubranine and petiolin D regioisomer
摘要:
Efficient synthetic routes for biologically interesting polycycles with prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated citrans were developed from several trihydroxybenzenes with prenyl, geranyl, and farnesyl groups on the benzene rings. Ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed cyclization by a domino aldol-type/electrocyclization/H-shift/hetero Diels-Alder reaction of prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated trihydroxybenzenes with citral or trans,trans-farnesal provided a variety of tetracycles bearing prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated citrans. The mechanistic pathway for regio- and stereochemistry of synthesized polycycles was described. As an application of this methodology, 3'-prenylrubranine and petiolin D regioisomer were first synthesized. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
gem-Diprenylation of Acylphloroglucinols by a Fungal Prenyltransferase of the Dimethylallyltryptophan Synthase Superfamily
摘要:
Aspergillus terreus aromatic prenyltransferase (AtaPT) catalyzes predominantly C-monoprenylation of acylphloroglucinols in the presence of different prenyl diphosphates. With dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) as prenyl donor, gem-diprenylated products 1D3, 2D3, and 3D3 were also detected. High conversion of 1D1 to 1D3, 2D1 to 2D3, and 3D1 to 3D3 was demonstrated by incubation with AtaPT and DMAPP. The first example of gem-diprenylation by a member of the dimethylallyltryptophan synthase superfamily is provided.
