SYNTHESIS OF OLEFINIC ALCOHOLS VIA ENZYMATIC TERMINAL HYDROXYLATION
-
, (2016/01/30)
In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for producing terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes by contacting an unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbon substrate with a hydroxylase enzyme. Exemplary terminal hydroxylases useful for carrying out the methods of the invention exhibit strong selectivity towards one terminal carbon of a hydrocarbon substrate and include, but are not limited to, non-heme diiron alkane monooxygenases, cytochromes P450 (e.g., cytochromes P450 of the CYP52 and CYP153 family), as well as long chain alkane hydroxylases. In some embodiments, the terminally hydroxylated alkene or alkyne is further converted to a terminal alkenal. In certain embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful as insect pheromones which modify insect behavior. In other embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful intermediates for producing pheromones via acetylation or oxidation of the alcohol moiety.

A new scheme has been developed for the synthesis of dodeca-8E,10E-dien-1-ol (the sex pheromone of the codling moth) from sorbyl acetate, available from 4-propenyl-1,3-dioxane through the intermediate diacetate of 3-propenyl-2-oxapentane-1,5-diol.
