Cyclic anhydrides are versatile synthons and functional comonomers. Herein, we reported an organic base-promoted carboxylative cyclization of 2-butenoates with carbon dioxide to produce important glutaconic anhydrides in good yields. This metal-free react
A Stereospecific Synthesis of (+/-)-Abscisic Acid

A convenient separation of (E)- and (Z)-3-methylpent-2-enedioic acids was devised, and it was shown that with acetyl chloride or thionyl chloride the (Z)-acid yields the cyclic anhydride while the (E)-acid forms 6-chloro-4-methylpyran-2-one.The chloropyranone by conventional chemistry gave 4-methyl-6-(2'-oxopropyl)pyran-2-one which condensed with 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one in the presence of pyrrolidine, yielding 4-methyl-6-(2',6',6'-trimethyl-4'-oxocyclohex-2'-enyl)pyran-2-one.Oxidation with selenium dioxide or t-butyl chromate then gave 6-(1'-hydroxy-2',6',6'-trimethyl-4'-oxocyclohex-2'-enyl)-4-methylpyran-2-one, which on reduction by lithium aluminium hydride and reoxidation afforded (+/-)-abscisic acid stereospecifically.
Biosynthetic Studies on Tajixanthone and Shamixanthone, Polyketide Hemiterpenoid Metabolites of Aspergillus variecolor

The biosynthesis of tajixanthone and related metabolites of Aspergillus variecolor has been studied by incorporation experiments with simple and advanced precursors labelled with the stable isotopes 13C, 2H and 18O.Tajixanthone is shown to be derived through ring cleavage of an octaketide-derived anthraquinone with introduction of two dimethylallyl moieties.From the results of isotopic labelling experiments and chemical studies on model compounds, an overall biosynthetic pathway is proposed and information on the mechanisms of interconversion of proposed intermediates is obtained.
