cis- and trans-Hex-4-enoic acids and their 6-n-propyl and n-butyl derivatives, when treated with a 1.1 molar excess of m-chloroperbenzoic acid and Amberlyst-15 as catalyst in CH2Cl2 at 20 °C, gave the corresponding threo- and erythro-5-hydroxyalkylbutan-4-olides in quantitative yields.

A Ru-catalyzed isomerization of Achmatowicz derivatives that opens unexplored routes to diversify the biogenic furanic platform is reported. The mechanistic insights of this formally redox-neutral intramolecular process were studied computationally and by deuterium labeling. The transformation proved to be a robust synthetic tool to achieve the synthesis of bioderived-monomers and a series of 4-keto-δ-valerolactones
报道了 Achmatowicz 衍生物的 Ru 催化异构化,该异构化开辟了使生物源呋喃平台多样化的未开发途径。通过计算和氘标记研究了这种正式的氧化还原中性分子内过程的机理见解。该转化被证明是一种强大的合成工具,可实现生物衍生单体和一系列 4-酮基-δ-戊内酯的合成,进一步促进了合成乙酰基合成的灵活策略的发展。还描述了两种天然产物(即 ( S , S )-muricatacin 和 ( S , S )-L-因子)的简洁且无保护基团的不对称全合成。

We have synthesized three analogues of 4-amino-5-fluorohexanoic acids as potential inactivators of gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), which were designed to combine the potency of their shorter chain analogue, 4-amino-5-fluoropentanoic acid (AFPA), with the greater enzyme selectivity of the antiepileptic vigabatrin (Sabril (R)). Unexpectedly, these compounds failed to inactivate or inhibit the enzyme, even at high concentrations. On the basis of molecular modeling studies, we propose that the GABA-AT active site has an accessory binding pocket that accommodates the vinyl group of vigabatrin and the fluoromethyl group of AFPA, but is too narrow to support the extra width of the distal methyl group in the synthesized analogues.
