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.
nBu4NI-Catalyzed oxidative imidation of ketones and imides for the synthesis of alpha-amino ketones were realized for the first time. The methodology is characterized by its wide substrate scope even for acetone with readily available phthalimide, saccharin and succinimide, which opens a new pathway for direct imidation of ketones.
