Synthesis of hydroxy-substituted unsaturated fatty acids and the amino-acid insect-derivative volicitin
摘要:
An efficient synthesis of N-(17S-hydroxylinolenOyl)-L-glutamine (volicitin), a chemical elicitor from the herbivore-pest beet armyworm is presented. The synthesis, which utilizes a copper-catalyzed acetylene coupling, links (S)-3,6-heptadiyne-2-ol with a C-8 propargylic iodine methyl ester to form the (S)-17-hydroxylinolenate skeleton. By substituting different heptadiyne-2-ol groups, a series of methylene interrupted polyacetylene analogues were generated. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Synthesis of the (17<i>R</i>)- and (17<i>S</i>)-Isomers of Volicitin, an Elicitor of Plant Volatiles Contained in the Oral Secretion of the Beet Armyworm
Both the (17R)- and (17S)-isomers of volicitin, which is contained in the oral secretion of the beet armyworm and induces corn seedlings to emit a blend of volatile compounds to attract the natural enemy of the herbivore, were synthesized via the semi-hydrogenation of an intermediary diyne and (Z)-selective olefination as the key steps. They were both obtained as crystalline compounds.

Volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine] and N-linolenoyl-L-glutamine are known as insect-produced plant volatile elicitors. The absolute configuration of the hydroxylinolenoyl moiety of volicitin from three noctuid species, Helicoverpa armigera, Mythimna separata and Spodoptera litura, was determined to be all 17S in high enantiomeric excess. When treated with 30 pmol of (17S)- and (17R)-volicitin, corn seedlings were induced to release volatiles, there being no significant difference in the amount released between the two isomers. On the other hand, N-linolenoyl-L-glutamine was only about 30% as active as volicitin. Among several synthesized N-linolenoylamino acid conjugates, only the L-glutamine conjugate induced the emission of volatile organic compounds. These results show that the L-glutamine moiety of volicitin played a more critical role than the hydroxyl moiety, although both moieties affected the elicitor activity inducing the release of volatiles.
