Identification, Synthesis, and Conformation of Tri- and Tetrathiacycloalkanes from Marine Bacteria
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Seven new cyclic natural polysulfides 1-7 were identified in extracts of two bacterial Cytophaga strains (CFB-phylum) isolated from biofilms from the North Sea. Their structures are based on mono- and dimeric-cyclization products of 2-methylpropane-1,2- dithiol 8, which was also present in the extract in trace amounts. The structures were deduced by analysis of their mass spectra and confirmed by synthesis. The H-1 NMR spectra of some these compounds suggested a high flexibility of the trithiepane and tetrathiocane systems. Therefore, their conformation was further analyzed by DFT calculations and dynamic NMR spectroscopy. While thiepane 4 possesses a twist-chair lowest energy conformation, its isomers 2 and 3 adopt a chairlike conformation, as does the tetrathiocane 5. In contrast, tetrathiocane 6 favors again a twisted chair conformation.

A catalytic enantioselective thioacetalization reaction has been developed. Various aldehydes react with unsymmetrical 1,3- or 1,2-dithiols to furnish chiral, enantioenriched thioacetals in excellent enantioselectivities upon treatment with a nitrated imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst. The transformation is assumed to proceed via a thionium ion intermediate.
