Enantiomeric specificity in a pheromone-kairomone system of two threatened saproxylic beetles, Osmoderma eremita and Elater ferrugineus
Svensson, Glenn P.,Larsson, Mattias C.
, p. 189 - 197 (2008)
The scarab beetle Osmoderma eremita and its larval predator, the click beetle Elater ferrugineus, are threatened saproxylic beetles regarded as indicators of the species-richness of insect fauna of hollow deciduous trees. Male O. eremita produce the pheromone (R)-(+)-γ-decalactone to attract conspecific females, and this compound is also utilized by E. ferrugineus as a kairomone, presumably for detection of tree hollows containing prey. We have investigated enantiomeric specificity to γ-decalactone in this pheromone-kairomone system by electrophysiological and field trapping experiments. In single-sensillum recordings from male and female O. eremita, which used the (R)-enantiomer and the racemic mixture of γ-decalactone as odor stimuli, numerous olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) responding to both stimuli were found. No neurons responded preferentially to the racemic mixture, showing that these beetles seem to lack receptors specific for the (S)-enantiomer. The enantiomeric specificity of ORNs was confirmed by gas chromatography-linked single-sensillum recordings where the two enantiomers in a racemic mixture were separated on a chiral column. Furthermore, in field experiments that used the (R)-enantiomer and the racemic mixture as lures, the attraction of O. eremita females corresponded to the amount of (R)-enantiomer released from lures with the (S)-enantiomer displaying no antagonistic effects. Trap catch data also suggested that the (S)-enantiomer is not a behavioral antagonist for E. ferrugineus. The odor-based system can be highly efficient in attracting the larval predator where trap catch in 1 yr almost equaled the total number of specimens collected in Sweden until 1993. Our study shows that racemic γ-decalactone could be used for cost-effective monitoring of both beetles.

Oxidation of 1-alkyl-1,4-butanediols with Acetobacter aceti MIM 2000/28 gave the corresponding γ-lactones in good yields. The biotransformation occurred with intermediate formation of γ-lactols, which are also substrates for oxidation with Acetobacter aceti MIM 2000/28, as validated by selective biotransformation of 6β,7β;15β,16β-dimethylene-3- oxo-17α-pregn-4-en-21,17-carbolactol to drospirenone.

Huffer, Manfred,Schreier, Peter
, p. 1157 - 1164 (1991)
Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) catalyzed intramolecular transesterification of n-propyl esters of 4(5)-hydroxyalkanoic acids (C5-C12) in diethyl ether (20 deg C) yielded (S)-4-alkylated 1,4-olides of high optical purity (ee > 80percent) and optically pure (R)-4-hydroxyalkanoic-n-propylesters, but exhibited low enantioselectivity for (S)-5-alkylated 1,5-olides (ee=10-20percent).The chiral analysis of 4(5)-hydroxyalkanoic esters was performed by HRGC and HPLC after their derivatization with (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylisocyanate, (S)-O-acetyllactic acid chloride, and (R)-(+)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid chloride.The enantiodifferentiation of 1,4(1,5)-olides was achieved by HPLC on a chiral (ChiraSpher) using an on-line optical rotation detector (ChiraMonitor).

A synthetic strategy based upon three basic reactions - enzymatic resolution, oxygen-sulfur exchange, reduction - allowed us to carry out an easy and useful synthesis of a series of new 1,4-sulfanylalcohols from aliphatic γ-lactones. Final products have been obtained in good yields with enantiomeric excesses in a 66-91% range.
Cyclodextrin-based ionic liquids as enantioselective stationary phases in gas chromatography
Costa, Nuno,Matos, Sara,Da Silva, Marco D. R. Gomes,Pereira, M. Manuela A.

New permethylated mono-6-deoxy-6-pyridin-1-ium and mono-6-deoxy-6-(1-vinyl- 1H-imidazol-3-ium)-α- and -β-cyclodextrin trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquids were synthesized from the corresponding permethylated mono-6-hydroxycyclodextrins in a one-pot reaction and solvent-free procedure. Regioselective transformation of native α- and β-cyclodextrins with the use of a bulky tert-butyldiphenylsilyl protecting group afforded the desired 6-monosubstituted permethylated cyclodextrin derivatives in moderate yields. The new ionic liquids were tested as stationary phases in capillary GC columns towards chiral discrimination in enantio-GC analysis of racemic mixtures. The permethylated 6-deoxy-6-pyridin-1-ium-α-cyclodextrin trifluoromethanesulfonate displayed good enantiomeric separations for some racemic esters and lactones, as well as epoxides. In particular, for both the racemic whiskey lactone and the high boiling point menthyl laurate, not successfully separated in a commercial cyclodextrin phase, the enantiomeric separations were achieved isothermally at 140 °C. In phase: Permethylated mono-6-hydroxy-α- and -β-cyclodextrins react with pyridine or 1-vinylimidazole in the presence of triflic anhydride in a solvent-free procedure to yield new roomerature ionic liquids (ILs). These ILs have been used as stationary phases in gas chromatography; enantiomeric separations are achieved (see figure for whiskey lactone) with permethylated mono-6-deoxy-6-(pyridin-1-ium)-α-cyclodextrin trifluoromethanesulfonate.

, p. 10584 - 10587 (2021/10/19)
A carbonyl reductase variant,SmCRM5, fromSerratia marcescenswas obtained through structure-guided directed evolution. The variant showed improved specific activity (U mg?1) towards most of the 16 tested substrates and gave high stereoselectivities of up to 99% in the asymmetric synthesis of 13 γ-/δ-lactones. In particular, SmCRM5showed a 13.8-fold higher specific activity towards the model substrate,i.e., 5-oxodecanoic acid, and gave (R)-δ-decalactone in 99% ee with a space-time yield (STY) of 301 g L?1d?1. The preparative synthesis of six δ-lactones in high yields and with high enantiopurities showed the feasibility of the biocatalytic synthesis of these high-value-added chemicals, providing a cost-effective and green alternative to noble-metal catalysis.

Structurally diverse γ- and δ-lactones were efficiently synthesized stereoselectively using an engineered carbonyl reductase from Serratia marcescens (SmCRV4). SmCRV4 exhibited improved activity (up to 500-fold) and thermostability toward 14 γ-/δ-keto acids and esters, compared with the wild-type enzyme, with 110-fold enhancement in catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) toward methyl 4-oxodecanoate. The preparative synthesis of alkyl and aromatic γ- and δ-lactones with 95 %–>99 % ee and 78 %–90 % yields was demonstrated. The highest space-time yield, 1175 g L?1 d?1, was achieved for (R)-γ-decalactone.

A synthetic method of chiral gamma-decalactone is provided. The method includes steps of (1) adding concentrated sulfuric acid into an organic solvent, then adding a catalyst, a ligand and a phase-transfer catalyst into the mixture, finally adding methyl 4-carbonyldecanoate into the mixture, and reacting the mixture; (2) transferring a reaction product obtained in the step (1) into an autoclave, and filling the autoclave with hydrogen to pressurize the autoclave to 3-6 MPa, with the reaction temperature being 60-120 DEG C and reaction time being 4-8 h; and (3) subjecting a reaction product obtained in the step (2) to neutralization, filtration, solvent recovery and distillation to obtain the chiral gamma-decalactone. The reaction temperature and pressure of the method are proper, and production operation is easy so that the method can be used for industrial production. The ee value of the product can be 95% or above.

The enantiomerically enriched γ- and δ-decalactones (4a and 4b) were prepared from corresponding racemic primary-secondary 1,4- and 1,5-diols (1a and 1b), as products of enzymatic oxidation catalyzed by different alcohol dehydrogenases. The results of biotransformations indicated that the oxidation processes catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH), both isolated from horse liver and recombinant in Escherichia coli, were characterized by the highest degree of conversion with moderate enantioselectivity of the reaction. Useful, environmentally friendly extraction procedure of decalactones (4a and 4b) based on hydrodistillation using a Deryng apparatus was developed. Both racemic lactones (4a and 4b), as well as their enantiomerically enriched isomers, were tested for feeding deterrent activity against Myzus persicae. The effect of these compounds on probing, feeding and settling behavior of M. persicae was studied in vivo. The deterrent activity of decalactones (4a and 4b) against aphids depended on the size of the lactone ring and the enantiomeric purity of the compounds. δ-Decalactone (4b) appeared inactive againstM. persicae while γ-decalactone (4a) restrained aphid probing at ingestional phase. Only (-)-(S)-γ-decalactone (4a) had strong and durable (i.e. lasting for at least 24 hours) limiting effect, expressed at phloem level.
