Studies on the synthesis and biosynthesis of the fungal alkaloid necatorone
摘要:
An alternative pathway for the biosynthesis of the fungal alkaloid necatorone has been studied using fluorine-labeled 3-(2-carboxyphenylamino)-L-tyrosine. Although no incorporation of this compound could be detected in feeding experiments with young specimens of Lactarius necator, an analogous 3-aminotyrosine derivative could be converted synthetically into the oxopyridoacridine core structure of necatorone. In experiments aimed at the synthesis of aaptamine-type alkaloids, an unprecedented cyclization of a 3-aminotyrosine-methyl propiolate adduct to a methyl isoquinoline-3-carboxylate was observed. A mechanism is proposed, in which C3 of the propiolate delivers C1 of the isoquinoline nucleus. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
