A Versatile Approach Towards Enantiopure α-Methyl β-Hydroxy Ketones. Application to the Synthesis of (4R,5S) Sitophilure and of Its Stereoisomers
摘要:
Rice weevil pheromone sitophilure ((4R,5S)-5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-heptanone) and its three diastereomers were synthesized in three steps, starting from 3-(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-pentadiene and propionaldehyde. Other optically active alpha-methyl beta-hydroxy ketones can also be synthesized by the reported procedure.

Reduction of 4-methyl heptan 3,5-dione by resting cells of provides natural sitophilure (4R,5S)-(−)-4-methyl 5-hydroxy heptan 3-one under anaerobic conditions. Diastereoisomer (4S,5S)-(+)-4-methyl 5-hydroxy heptan 3-one is obtained under aerobic conditions. Starting β-diketone is easily obtained by a one-pot synthesis. Good yield and high enantiomeric excess are obtained for the natural pheromone.

All of the four possible stereoisomers [(4,5)-, (4,5)-, (4,5)- and (4,5)-isomers] of 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-heptanone (sitophilure) were synthesized from methyl ()-3-hydroxypentanoate of microbial origin.

Hydrolysis of labile esters of β-hydroxyketones has been performed with whole plant tissue from various vegetables. The pheromone 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-heptanone (1) was used as the model compound. Hydrolysis of acetates and benzoates of 1 was unsuccessful using normal conditions of ester hydrolysis, both by chemical hydrolysis and by the means of commercial lipases. When, however, whole cells of carrot, celery root, eggplant, parsley root, parsnip and potato were used as reagents, hydrolysis of the acetates was successful. At low conversion the hydrolysis was stereoselective and at total conversion virtually no formation of by-products was observed. The selectivity varied among the eight vegetables that were evaluated. Methods of preparation and substrate-to-plant ratio were examined. Furthermore, acetates and benzoates of three analogous compounds [5-hydroxy-3-heptanone (2), 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-heptanone (3) and 5-ethyl-6-hydroxy-4-octanone (4)] were hydrolyzed by potato and sweet potato to various degrees, indicating that the method is general for the mild and stereoselective hydrolysis of secondary β-alkoxy- and β-aryloxyketones.

with a view to develop a highly enantioselective, anti-diastereoselective aldol addition procedure has been investigated. A number of proline-derived hydrazones were produced and their effectiveness in directingsimple alkylation of aza-enolates investigated. The most promising of these hydrazones were then used in the aldolreaction. The substituent on the oxygen of the proline had a profound effect

Ligand exchange of titanium(IV) alkoxides with alpha-hydroxy acids presents an unexpected and novel approach to enantioselective aldol additions of aldehydes and ketones. The aldol products were isolated in a high degree of syn-diastereoselectivity. High enantioselectivities were observed by using simple optically pure alpha-hydroxy acids in this novel aldol addition.
