Syntheses and odor properties of optically active dimethyl octenone and its analogs
摘要:
The optically active isomers of dimethyl octenone, which is used in citrus accords, and its analogs, were synthesized from a common chiral intermediate prepared by the lipase-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral diol. The results of an olfactory evaluation of the prepared isomers are also reported. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Identifying the targets of bioactivesmallmolecules is a challenging endeavor for which no general solution currently exists. Classical affinity purification experiments suffer from the need to functionalise a bioactive compound and link it to a solid support, which may interfere with target binding. A modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technique that has partially circumvented this problem

Extracts of Dufour's gland of the ponerine ant, Gnamptogenys striatula, were analyzed by using the combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Series of esters of the new homoterpenoids (2E,6)-3,4,7-trimethyl-2,6-octadiene-1-ol (4-methylgeraniol) and (2E,6)-3,4,7-trimethyl-2,6-nonadiene-1-ol (bishomogeraniol) with unbranched medium-chain fatty acids were identified.

This key step in the highly concise totalsynthesis of epothiloneB is followed by a Suzuki coupling to introduce the thiazole domain, a Noyori reduction to control the stereochemistry at C3, and a final macrolactonization (see reaction scheme).

The epothilones are naturally occurring cytotoxic molecules that possess the remarkable ability to arrest cell division through the stabilization of microtubule assemblies. Our in vivo studies with 12,13-desoxyepothilone B (dEpoB), have established that the desoxy compound is well tolerated and virtually curative against a variety of sensitive and resistant xenograft tumors in animal models. In light of these discoveries, we sought a chemical synthesis of dEpoB that would be able to support a serious and substantial discovery research program directed toward the clinical development of this molecule. The overall strategy for this endeavor assumed the ability to synthesize dEpoB from three constructs which include an achiral beta,delta-diketo ester construct A, an (S)-2-methylpentenal moiety B, and the thiazoyl-containing vinyl iodide moiety C. We envisioned that a diastereoselective aldol condensation between an achiral C5-C6 (Z)-metalloenolate derived from construct A and an (S)-2-methylalkanal fragment, B, would generate the desired C6-C7 bond. Second, a B-alkyl Suzuki coupling between the vinyl iodide construct C and an alkyl borane would form the C11-C12 bond. Finally, a late-stage reduction of the C3 ketone to the requisite C3 alcohol with high asymmetric induction would permit us to introduce the beta,delta-diketo ester fragment A, into the synthesis as a readily accessible achiral building block. The governing concepts for our new synthesis are described herein.
