In growing cultures of the fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 7159) the incubation of 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-one (p-hydroxybenzylidenacetone, 3), of 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one (raspberry ketone, 1), and of the S and R,S forms of 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-ol (2) yields 2-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (tyrosol, 4) as a final product. The experiments support the view that the actual substrate for the Baeyer-Villiger-type degradation is raspberry ketone (1) and that there is a kinetic preference in the microbial enzymatic system for the oxidation to 1 of the S form of the 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-ol (2).

(Graph Presented) An easy to use computerized algorithm for the determination of the amount of each labeled species differing in the number of incorporated isotope labels based on mass spectroscopic data is described and evaluated. Employing this algorithm, the microwave-assisted synthesis of various α-labeled deuterium ketones via hydrogen-deuterium exchange with deuterium oxide was optimized with respect to time, temperature, and degree of labeling. For thermally stable ketones the exchange of α-protons was achieved at 180°C within 40-200 min. Compared to reflux conditions, the microwave-assisted protocol led to a reduction of the required reaction time from 75-94 h to 40-200 min. The α-labeled deuterium ketones were reduced by biocatalytic hydrogen transfer to the corresponding enantiopure chiral alcohols and the deconvolution algorithm validated by regression analysis of a mixture of labeled and unlabeled ketones/alcohols.

Feeding experiments in Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 7159) of (2R,3S)-[2,3-2H2]-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-ol (15) and (2R,3R)-[1,3-2H4]-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-butan-2-ol (16) afford (1S)- and (1R)-[1-2H]tyrosol (17) and (18), respectively, as indicated by NMR studies on the (+)-MTPA esters 21 and 23 and comparison with an authentic sample of the (S) enantiomer. These results indicate that the C-2, Baeyer-Villiger-type, chain shortening of the C-6-C-4 framework of the intermediate rashberry ketone 1 to give the C-6-C-2 tyrosol (4) occurs with retention of configuration. The asymmetrically labeled substrates 15 and 16 have been obtained by enzymic resolution of derivatives of (2SR,3RS)-6 and (2SR,3SR)-12, pared, in turn, by syn catalytic reduction with deuterium and with hydrogen gas, respectively, of the (Z) enol acetates 5 and 11.
