Identification and Synthesis of a Novel Selenium−Sulfur Amino Acid Found in Selenized Yeast: Rapid Indirect Detection NMR Methods for Characterizing Low-Level Organoselenium Compounds in Complex Matrices
摘要:
After proteolytic digestion, aqueous extraction, and derivatization with diethyl pyrocarbonate or ethyl chloroformate, HPI-C-incluctively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS, GC-atomic emission detection (AED), and GC-MS analysis of high-selenium yeast stored at room temperature for more than 10 years showed selenomethionine as the major Se product along with substantial amounts of selenomethionine selenoxide hydrate and the previously unreported selenoamino acid having a Se-S bond, S(methylseleno)cysteine. The identity of the latter compound was confirmed by synthesis. The natural product was shown to be different from a synthetic sample of the isomeric compound Se-(methylthio)selenocysteine. Selenium-specific NMR spectroscopic methods were developed to directly analyze the aqueous extracts of the hydrolyzed selenized yeast without derivatization or separation. Selenomethionine and S-(methylseleno)cysteine were identified by Se-77-H-1 HMQC-TOCSY experiments.

Metalhydridereduction of a variety of α-[phenyl(or methyl)seleno]alkyl aryl ketones gives a mixture of threo- and erythro-β-aryl-β-hydroxyalkyl phenyl(or methyl)selenides by carbonyl reduction and 1-aryl-1-alkanol by the substitution of a phenyl(or methyl)seleno group with hydrogen. With all metalhydrides examined the formation of the threo-isomer always predominated. The addition of various metal
A new strategy for the highly stereoselective synthesis of three stereoisomers of chiral 1,2,3‐trisubstituted cyclopropanes in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and very high enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee) was developed via selenonium ylides (see scheme). Possible pathways for the asymmetriccyclopropanations were also proposed.
reacts more slowly, producing mainly the α-selenenyl adduct. Dehydrohalogenation of adducts provides a general and valuable method for the preparation of olefins carrying methyl or phenylselenenyl groups in α-position to electron-withdrawingsubstituents.

Olefins with captodative substitution are excellent partners in [2+2] cycloadditions leading to cyclobutane derivatives. The reaction rates increase with the radical stabilising power of the substituents. Thio- and selenoalkyl(aryl) substituted gemdifluoroolefins allow the synthesis of new cyclobutane derivatives.
