The first conversion of camptothecin to (S)-mappicine by an efficient chemoenzymatic method
Das, Biswanath,Madhusudhan,Kashinatham
, p. 1403 - 1406 (1998)
Camptothecin has been converted for the first time to (S)-mappicine via mappicine ketone, which is the sole product of the microwave irradiation of camptothecin. Baker's yeast reduction of mappicine ketone yielded (S)- mappicine in high optical purity.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of (S)- and (R)-mappicines and their analogues
Das,Madhusudhan
, p. 476 - 477 (2007/10/03)
The natural alkaloids, camptothecin and mappicine ketone were converted into racemic mappicine which on treatment with vinyl acetate in presence of the lipase Candida cylindracea (CCL) afforded (S)-mappicine acetate and (R)-mappicine. The acetate was chemically hydrolysed to (S)-mappicine. 9-Methoxycamtpothecin and 9-methoxymappicine ketone were similarly converted into (S)- and (R)-9-methoxymappicines.
Total synthesis of nothapodytine b and (-)-mappicine
Boger, Dale L.,Hong, Jiyong
, p. 1218 - 1222 (2007/10/03)
Concise total syntheses of naturally occurring nothapodytine B (1, mappicine ketone) and ( - )-mappicine (3) are detailed. The approach is based on the implememation of a room-temperature, inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of the N-sulfonyl-1-aza-1.3-butadiene 11 for assemblage of a pyridone 1) ring precursor central to the structure. A Friedlander condensation is utilized for constructing the AB ring system of 1 and 3. An acid-catalyzed reaction sequence is used to accomplish a deprotection with subsequent ring-closure for introduction of the C ring in a single step.
