Thermostable enzymes in organic synthesis. 7. Total synthesis of the western corn rootworm sex pheromone 8-methyldec-2-yl propanoate using a TBADH-generated C2-bifunctional chiron
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure alcohols produced by Thermoanaerobium brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH)-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of polyfunctional ketones are useful building blocks for natural products synthesis. This advantage has been demonstrated by a total synthesis of all four isomers of 8-methyldec-2-yl propanoate, the sex pheromone emitted by the female western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte. These four isomers were obtained in a very short procedure (either three or five steps) with an enantiomeric purity that exceeds 99% using a single chiral building block, (2S,8S)-(+)-2,8-dihydroxynonane. The latter diol, characterized by a synthetically useful C2 symmetry, was obtained by TBADH-catalyzed reduction of nonane-2,8-dione.
A general approach to enantiomerically pure methylcarbinols. Asymmetric synthesis of antibiotic (-)-A26771B and the WCR sex pheromone
摘要:
Either (R) or (S) enantiomerically pure methylcarbinol groups are conveniently produced from monosubstituted alkenes via the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction. The initial AD product, 1,2-dihydroxyalkane, obtained with predictable absolute configuration and high enantiomeric purity, is converted into 2-acetoxy-1-bromoalkane and then subjected to reductive debromination. These conditions are compatible with a variety of functional groups, including acetal, ester, nitrile, ketone, and silyl ether. The advantages of this method are demonstrated by highly efficient, asymmetric syntheses of enantiomerically pure natural products. All four stereoisomers of the WCR sex pheromone 4 are prepared in six steps form nona-1,8-diene in 10-15% overall yield. Similarly, a highly efficient formal total synthesis of antibiotic (-)-A26771B (5) is accomplished via two alternative approaches. The first one transforms dodec-11-enal into enantiomerically pure 5 in 11 steps and 4.1% overall yield, while the second achieves the same transformation in 12 steps and 6.6% overall yield.
