- Synthesis method of bisabolene
-
The invention discloses a synthesis method of bisabolene. The bisabolene is gamma-bisabolene; the synthesis method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a Grignard reagent 2-methyl-2 butenylmagnesium bromide; carrying out nucleophilic addition reaction on the 2-methyl-2 butenylmagnesium bromide and 2-(4-methyl-3-ene-1-cyclohexyl)propionaldehyde; carrying out acid treatment on an addition product and hydrolyzing to obtain gamma-bisabolol; carrying out protonation on the gamma-bisabolol through alcohol under the action of an acid catalyst, so as to form a relatively good leaving group H2O and generate carbon positive ions; then carrying out hydrogen migration to form a more stable tertiary carbon positive ion; then removing one beta hydrogen atom according to a Saytzeff rule, soas to obtain a single product gamma-bisabolene. The synthesis method has simple steps; adopted solvents are conventional rules; the synthesis method is suitable for industrial production and providesan effective method for synthesis of the bisabolene.

- Stereochemical investigations on the biosynthesis of achiral (Z)-γ-bisabolene in Cryptosporangium arvum
-
A newly identified bacterial (Z)-γ-bisabolene synthase was used for investigating the cyclisation mechanism of the sesquiterpene. Since the stereoinformation of both chiral putative intermediates, nerolidyl diphosphate (NPP) and the bisabolyl cation, is lost during formation of the achiral product, the intriguing question of their absolute configurations was addressed by incubating both enantiomers of NPP with the recombinant enzyme, which resolved in an exclusive cyclisation of (R)-NPP, while (S)-NPP that is non-natural to the (Z)-γ-bisabolene synthase was specifically converted into (E)-β-farnesene. A hypothetical enzyme mechanistic model that explains these observations is presented.

- Structure of epi-isozizaene synthase from streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), a platform for new terpenoid cyclization templates
-
The X-ray crystal structure of recombinant epi-isozizaene synthase (EIZS), a sesquiterpene cyclase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), has been determined at 1.60 A resolution. Specifically, the structure of wild-type EIZS is that of its closed conformation in complex with three Mg2+ ions, inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), and the benzyltriethylammonium cation (BTAC). Additionally, the structure of D99N EIZS has been determined in an open, ligand-free conformation at 1.90 A resolution. Comparison of these two structures provides the first view of conformational changes required for substrate binding and catalysis in a bacterial terpenoid cyclase. Moreover, the binding interactions of BTAC may mimic those of a carbocation intermediate in catalysis. Accordingly, the aromatic rings of F95, F96, and F198 appear to be well-oriented to stabilize carbocation intermediates in the cyclization cascade through cation π interactions. Mutagenesis of aromatic residues in the enzyme active site results in the production of alternative sesquiterpene product arrays due to altered modes of stabilization of carbocation intermediates as well as altered templates for the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate. Accordingly, the 1.64 A resolution crystal structure of F198A EIZS in a complex with three Mg2+ ions, PPi, and BTAC reveals an alternative binding orientation of BTAC; alternative binding orientations of a carbocation intermediate could lead to the formation of alternative products. Finally, the crystal structure of wild-type EIZS in a complex with four Hg 2+ ions has been determined at 1.90 A resolution, showing that metal binding triggers a significant conformational change of helix G to cap the active site.

- Stereoselective synthesis of exocyclic alkenes by Cu-catalyzed allylmagnesiation, Pd-catalyzed alkylation, and Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis: Highly stereoselective synthesis of (Z)- and (E)-γ-bisabolenes
-
Highly efficient stereoselective syntheses of both (Z)- and (E)-γ-bisabolenes (1) were achieved by ring closing metathesis of stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkenes. Both (Z)- and (E)-tetrasubstituted alkene precursors were obtained by Cu-catalyzed stereoselective addition of allylmagnesium bromide to propargyl alcohols, followed by Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of alkylzinc derivatives. This represents the first application of ring-closing metathesis to the stereoselective synthesis of exocyclic alkenes.

- CYCLIZATION OF SOME LINEAR TERPENOLS INITIATED BY "ACTIVATED" DMSO
-
It was shown that the acylhydroxysulfonium salt generated in situ from DMSO and trifluoroacetic anhydride causes low-temperature cyclization of geraniol, linalool, and nerol in an aprotic medium to a mixture of p-menthane monoterpenoids, and the maximum yield is obtained in the case of the last two terpenols.A similar result was obtained for E-nerolidol.

- CHIRAL LEAVING GROUP: ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF LIMONENE AND BISABOLENE
-
The biogenetic-type asymmetric synthesis of limonene and bisabolenes is described.As model studies for the present asymmetric synthesis, the cyclization of catechol, biphenol and binaphthol mononeryl ethers 1, 4, and 5, with organoaluminium reagents are executed to furnish limonene as a major product.Since the reaction of 1, 4, and 5 has proved to proceed much faster than that of neryl phenyl ether under the similar conditions, the rate acceleration is attributed to the novel metal-anchimeric assistance of the aluminium reagents bound with the neighboring hydroxyl group for effecting the generation of the allyl cathion.This anchimeric effect is utilized for the enantioselective cyclization of (R)-(+)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol mononeryl ether (8) upon treatment with modified aluminium reagent 9 to produce limonene with high optical purity (77percent ee).In a similar fashion, (R)-(+)-binaphtol (Z,Z)-monofarnesyl ether 16a undergoes the enantioselective cyclization to give β-bisabolene in 76percent ee.
