Facile Synthesis of a “Ready to Use” Precursor of Porphobilinogen and Its Amino Acid Derivatives
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A practical synthesis of porphobilinogen based on the biosynthetic mechanism is described. The crossed Mukayiama. aldol reaction is the key step creating the central carbon-carbon bond between the two protected forms of 5-aminolevulinic acids. The optimized sequence gives a crystalline, storable precursor, which can be transformed in high yield into porphobilinogen and bioconjugates thereof. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the precursor produces porphobilinogen in quantitative yield.

The invention relates to a new inventive process sequence of steps a) to e) as claimed in Claim 1 for the preparation of porphobilinogen and intermediates per se as important precursors such as 3-[4-methoxycarbonylmethyl-5-(protected amino-methyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid methyl ester of formula 7
wherein R is a protective group,
and 3-[4-Carboxymethyl-5-(protected amino-methyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid di-alkali metal salt of formula 8
and especially 3-[4-carboxymethyl-5-(phenylacetyl-amino-methyl)- 1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid di-lithium salt of formula 8a
and of carboxylate 4-(2-carboxy-ethyl)-3-carboxymethyl-1H-pyrrrol-2-yl-methyl-ammonium of formula 9
and of phenylacetate 4-(2-carboxy-ethyl)-3carboxymethyl-1 H-pyrrol-2-ylmethyl-ammonium of formula 9a
and the use thereof for the preparation of porphobilinogen.
