The facile synthesis of 2-thioacrylates has been realized via direct three-component reactions of thiophenols, Wittig reagents, and acetyl chloride. Under transition metal-free conditions, a class of 2-thioacrylates have been synthesized with fair to exce

Sirodesmin PL is both an antibiotic and a phytotoxin produced by a fungal plant pathogen (Leptosphaeria maculans,asexual stage Phoma lingam) that causes blackleg disease on crucifers. To determine potential biosynthetic precursors of sirodesmin PL, deuterated compounds were synthesized and incubated with cultures of L. maculans. Incorporations of deuterium into sirodesmin PL (7) and its precursor phomamide (4) were determined using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, LCHRMS-ESI and HRMS-EI spectrometry. Spectroscopic analyses established that [3,3-2H2]L- tyrosine (1a), [3,3-2H2]O-prenyl-L-tyrosine (9a), [3,3,5',5',5'-2H5]O-prenyl-L-tyrosine (9b), and [5,5- 2H2]phomamide (4a) were incorporated efficiently into sirodesmin PL (7). Interestingly, an unexpected "twist" revealed that one of the β-deuteria (pro-R) of [3,3-2H2]L-tyrosine (1a) was exchanged stereospecifically before incorporation into sirodesmin PL (7). As well, our studies revealed that O-prenyl-Ltyrosine is likely to be the first committed precursor en route to sirodesmin PL (7).

Short practical syntheses for five deuterium-labeled derivatives of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) useful for enzymological studies are reported. These include the preparation of the C1-labeled derivatives (R)-[1- 2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((R)-[1-2H]1-OPP) and (S)-[1-2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((S)-[1-2H]1-OPP) , the C2-labeled derivative [2-2H]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ([2-2H]1-OPP), and the methyl-labeled derivatives (E)-[4,4,4- 2H3]3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate ((E)-[4,4,4- 2H3]1-OPP) and (Z)-[4,4,4-2H 3]3-methyl-but-2-enyl diphosphate ((Z)-[4,4,4-2H 3]1-OPP).

(2RS,3RS)- and (2RS,3SR)-2,3-Dihydroxybutanoic acids, (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid, (2RS)-2-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxypentanoic acid, (2RS,3RS)- and (2RS,3SR)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acids, and (2RS,3RS)- and (2RS,3SR)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylheptanoic acids were synthesised.These acids, as well as (RS)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid and (RS)-glyceric acid were tested as substrates for the αβ-dihydroxyacid dehydratase of the isoleucine-valine biosynthetic pathway of Salmonella typhimurium.For acids having a propyl group at C-3, the activities were greatly reduced compared with those obtained for the natural substrates (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid and (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid .For acids having an n-butyl substituent at C-3, the activities were close to zero. (2RS,3SR)-2,3-Dihydroxybutanoic acid (threo isomer) underwent dehydration at a rate comparable with that of (2R,3R)-DHI, the natural substrate in the isoleucine pathway, whereas the (2RS,3RS)-acid (erythro-isomer) had much lower activity and (RS)-glyceric acid had even less activity.These results illustrate differences in the alkyl group requirements with respect to the areas of the binding site of the enzyme that accomodate the C-3 substituents.They also demonstrate the size limits of the alkyl groups that can be accomodated in substrate analogues.
