A transketolase-based synthesis of (+)-exo-brevicomin
摘要:
The naturally occurring beetle pheromone (+)-exo-brevicomin was synthesized by a strategy combining chemical and enzymatic steps. The commercially available enzyme transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) catalyzed the condensation of beta-hydroxypyruvic acid and 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde to furnish the central intermediate in the sequence, optically active hydroxyketone 5. A short sequence converted ketose 5 to protected aldose 8. Wittig extension of the aldehyde followed by hydrogenation and ketal hydrolysis generated the title compound.

A novel and stereospecificsynthesis of (+)-exo-brevicomin is disclosed. The key step of the reaction sequence employs the sulfinyl moiety as an intramolecular nucleophile to functionalize an alkene π-complexed to a bromonium ion.

The Johnson-Claisen rearrangement of allyl alcohols with chiral vicinal diol functionality was employed to access chiral beta,gamma-disubstituted-gamma-lactones in high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. These were efficiently converted into nor-canadensolide, the advanced gamma-(lactone-lactol) intermediate for xylobovide, canadensolide and sporothriolide and the lactone moiety of the santolinolides.
