Studies towards the synthetic applicability of biocatalytic allylic oxidations with the lyophilisate of Pleurotus sapidus
摘要:
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.

Allylic oxidations belong to the most attractive synthetic transformations because they convert readily available and cheap starting materials into value-added products. In this study, we describe oxidative conversions of terpenoids and a number of related cycloalkenes with a lyophilisate of the edible fungus Pleurotus sapidus. The biocatalytic protocol is simple and the biocatalyst is readily available. The conversions of various cycloalkenes proceed cleanly in most cases to the corresponding enones. The substrate scope is remarkable and includes a number of mono- and sequiterpenes, functionalized terpenoids as well as simple cyclohexenes and benzylic substrates. Enzymatic allylic oxidations by Pleurotus sapidus are thus an excellent non-toxic alternative to metal-mediated oxidation procedures in academic labs and for industrial application in food technology, cosmetics or pharmaceutical research.
