Bioreduction of Aryl Azides during Mutasynthesis of New Ansamitocins
摘要:
Supplementing a culture of a mutant strain of Actinosynnema pretiosum that is unable to biosynthesize aminohydroxy benzoic acid (AHBA), with 3-azido-5-hydroxy-benzoic acid and 3-azido-5-amino-benzoic acid, unexpectedly yielded anilino ansamitocins instead of the expected azido derivatives. This is the first example of the bioreduction of organic azides. The unique nature of these results was demonstrated when 3-azido-5-amino-benzoic acid was fed to the corresponding AHBA blocked mutant of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, the geldanamycin producer. This mutasynthetic experiment yielded the fully processed azido derivative of geldanamycin.
Synthesis of the N-Acetylcysteamine Thioester of seco-Proansamitocin
摘要:
The enantioselective total synthesis of the N-acetylcysteamine thioester of seco-proansamitocin, a key biosynthetic intermediate of the highly potent antitumor agent ansamitocin, is described, which twice utilizes the Nagao acetate aldol reaction, as well as an indium-mediated alkynylation of a benzyl bromide followed by carboalumination. The key step is a Heck reaction between two terminal alkenes for merging the two major fragments.
