Predictable Stereoselective and Chemoselective Hydroxylations and Epoxidations with P450 3A4
摘要:
Enantioselective hydroxylation of one specific methylene in the presence of many similar groups is debatably the most challenging chemical transformation. Although chemists have recently made progress toward the hydroxylation of inactivated C-H bonds, enzymes such as P450s (CYPs) remain unsurpassed in specificity and scope. The substrate promiscuity of many P450s is desirable for synthetic applications; however, the inability to predict the products of these enzymatic reactions is impeding advancement. We demonstrate here the utility of a chemical auxiliary to control the selectivity of CYP3A4 reactions. When linked to substrates, inexpensive, achiral theobromine directs the reaction to produce hydroxylation or epoxidation at the fourth carbon from the auxiliary with pro-R facial selectivity. This strategy provides a versatile yet controllable system for regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective oxidations at inactivated C-H bonds and demonstrates the utility of chemical auxiliaries to mediate the activity of highly promiscuous enzymes.

macrolactamization led to a mixture of halipeptins A (1a) and D (1d) and their analogues 3a, 3d (epimers at the indicated site) and 4a, 4d (epimers at the indicated site). The same route starting with D-Ala resulted in the exclusive formation of the epimeric halipeptinDanalogue 3d. The synthesized halipeptins, together with the previously constructed oxazoline analogues 5d and 6d, were subjected to biological

transformations involve (1) an efficient zinc-amine-promoted etherification, (2) a highly stereoselective enzyme-catalyzed dynamic asymmetric transamination to set up the two contiguous chiral centers in the cyclohexane ring, and (3) a pyrrolidine ring formationvia alkyl-B(OH)2-catalyzed amidation and subsequent imidereduction.
AbstractStereoselective totalsynthesis of (−)-pyrenophorin was accomplished from commercially available starting material 2-bromo epoxide using regioselective ring opening and the intermolecular Mitsunobu cyclization as key steps. Graphic abstract
