Production of epoxydammaranes by the enzymatic reactions of (3R)- and (3S)-2,3-squalene diols and those of 2,3:22,23-dioxidosqualenes with recombinant squalene cyclase and the mechanistic insight into the polycyclization reactions
The enzymatic cyclizations of (3R)- and (3S)-2,3-squalene diols by squalene cyclase afforded bicyclic compounds and epoxydamamranes in a ca. 3 : 2 ratio. Formation of the epoxydammarane scaffold indicates that a 6/6/6/5-fused tetracyclic cation is involved as the intermediate in the polycyclization reaction. 2,3:22,23-Dioxidosqualenes also afforded an epoxydammarane skeleton, i.e., 3α- or 3β-hydroxyepoxydammaranes, but the amount of bicyclic compounds produced was markedly lower than that of the squalene diols, indicating that the larger steric bulk of the diols had a more significant influence on the polycyclization pathway than the smaller bulk of the expoxide. All the epoxydammaranes had 17R,20R stereochemistry except for one product, demonstrating that these analogs were folded into an all-chair conformation in the reaction cavity. The mechanistic insight into the observed stereochemical specificities indicated that the organized all-chair conformation is rigidly constricted by squalene cyclase and, thus, free conformational change is not allowed inside the reaction cavity; a small rotation of the hydroxyl group or the epoxide toward the intermediary cation gave a high yield of the enzymatic products, while a large rotation led to a low yield of the product. The stereochemistries of the generated epoxydammaranes are opposite to those from natural sources, and thus almost all of the enzymatic products described here are novel.
The asymmetricdihydroxylation of squalene was studied using the new ligand (DHQD)2-PHAL. Moderate positional selectivity for the 2,3-olefin was observed with high % ee.

We have studied a newapproach for the resolution and absolute configuration determination of the enantiomers of squalene diols as intermediate precursors in the chemical synthesis of different squalene oxides (SOs); (3R)- and (3S)-2,3-SO, (6R,7R)- and (6S,7S)-6,7-SO, and (10R,11R)- and (10S,11S)-10,11-SO.

The mechanistically designed bis-cinchona alkaloid derivative 3 serves as an excellent catalytic ligand in the OsO4-promoted catalytic enantioselective dihydroxylation of the terminal isopropylidene group in farnesyl, geranylgeranyl, and solanesyl esters and also squalene, with selectivity as high as 120:1 with E,E-farnesyl acetate. H-1 NMR and X-ray studies support the conformation described by 3 in which the U-shaped catalytic binding pocket is composed of the two 6-(4-heptyloxy)-quinoline units (sides and rear) and the naphthopyridazine linker (bottom).

GRAPHICSThe chiral monocinchona derivative shown, synthesized in one step from two efficiently prepared chiral building blocks, was designed under mechanistic guidance as a catalyst for the enantio- and position-selective dihydroxylation of the terminal isopropylidene group of polylsoprenoids. Its efficacy as a synthetic reagent for this purpose was demonstrated for several different substrates.
