An Approach to 6-Oxygenated Shikimic Acid Derivatives by Photolysis of the Pyruvate Ester of Dimethyl Epoxychorismate
摘要:
We report an unusual rearrangement of a synthetic epoxychorismic acid derivative which provides access to the 6-substituted shikimic acid framework. Photolysis of the pyruvate ester of dimethyl epoxychorismate triggered an intramolecular Paterno-Buchi photocyclization of the enol pyruvate alkene and the ketone group of the pyruvate ester, leading to a 2,2,3,3-tetrasubstituted oxetane ring. Upon standing for 1 week in CDCl3 or in the presence of CF3CO2D, the primary photoproduct underwent a slow epoxide-opening reaction with participation by the oxetane-substituted carbomethoxy group to form an unusual fused tetracyclic lactone. The chemistry described here suggests at least one plausible pathway, with appropriate stereoelectronic constraints, by which oxidation of shikimic acid at C6 might be achieved.
