Thiacrown Ether Technology in Lipase-Catalyzed Reaction: Scope and Limitation for Preparing Optically Active 3-Hydroxyalkanenitriles and Application to Insect Pheromone Synthesis
摘要:
Both reaction rate and enantioselectivity in Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PCL)-catalyzed hydrolysis of 3-hydroxyalkanenitrile acetates were significantly changed by the addition of catalytic amounts of thiacrown ether (1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane). Although the-reaction rate of various nitriles was accelerated, the enantioselectivity greatly depended on the nature of the substrate. Among 10 substrates tested, thiacrown ether offered highest enantioselectivity in PCL-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1-(cyanomethyl)propyl acetate. Forty or more times this crown ether, molarity based on the enzyme, was required to attain an acceptably high reaction rate and enantioselectivity. Applying this technology, we succeeded in synthesizing the optically pure attractant pheromone of ant Myrmica scabrinodis (A), (R)-3-octanol and its antipode of (S)-isomer in good overall yields.
The direct catalytic asymmetric aldolreaction offers efficient access to β‐hydroxy carbonyl entities. Described is a robust direct catalytic asymmetric aldolreaction of α‐sulfanyl 7‐azaindolinylamide, thus affording both aromatic and aliphatic β‐hydroxy amides with high ee values. The design of this transformation features a cooperative interplay of a soft and a hard Lewisacid, which together facilitate

The conjugated tetraene acid sidechain of mycolactone E has been synthesized by the cross-coupling reaction of a trisubstituted triene bromide with a trisubstituted alkenyl boronate catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2–Aphos-Y under mildly basic conditions [K3PO4·3H2O, H2O, tetrahydrofuran (THF), 35 °C, 18 h]. The conjugated tetraene product was obtained in 85 % yield without geometrical isomer(s) under the catalytic

A stereoselective synthesis of trans-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines 8 is described. This synthesis proceeds via intramolecular Mistunobu reactions of 1,5-syn-(Z)-amino alcohols 7, which were prepared by a highly diastereo- and enantioselective double-allylboration reaction of aldehyde 5 and silylimine 6. The chiral bifunctional γ-borylallylborane 9E was generated in situ by hydroboration of allene 3 with
The isolation, structureelucidation, and synthesis of antalid (1), a novel secondary metabolite from Polyangium sp., is described herein. The structureelucidation of 1 was performed with the aid of mass spectrometry, high field NMR experiments, and crystal structure analysis. The absolute configuration of antalid was confirmed through the Mosher ester method and ultimately by total synthesis. In
