4-Hydroxynon-2-enal, a cytotoxic lipid peroxidation product, and its C5-analog 4-hydroxypent-2-enal: Enantioselective synthesis and stereoanalysis
摘要:
A stereoselective synthesis of the lipid peroxidation products 4-hydroxypent-2-enal (1a) and 4-hydroxynon-2-enal (1b) in high optical purity is presented. The configuration of 1a and b was established by Ru(III)-catalyzed oxidative degradation and subsequent stereoanalysis of the resulting alpha-hydroxy acids. It was demonstrated that 1a is configuratively stable under physiological conditions.
