The major components of the isoprenoid-rich essential oil of Artemisia annua L. accumulate in the subcuticular sac of glandular secretory trichomes. As part of an effort to understand isoprenoid biosynthesis in A. annua, an expressed sequence tag (EST) collection was investigated for evidence of genes encoding trichome-specific enzymes. This analysis established that a gene denoted Adh2, encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase and shows a high expression level in glandular trichomes relative to other tissues. The gene product, ADH2, has up to 61% amino acid identity to members of the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily, including Forsythia × intermedia secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase (49.8% identity). Through in vitro biochemical analysis, ADH2 was found to show a strong preference for monoterpenoid secondary alcohols including carveol, borneol and artemisia alcohol. These results indicate a role for ADH2 in monoterpenoid ketone biosynthesis in A. annua glandular trichomes.
Synthesis and Acylation of Allylic Mercuric Iodides: A Convenient Synthesis of Allylic Ketones
Larock, Richard C.,Lu, Yong-de
, p. 2846 - 2850 (2007/10/02)
Allylic mercuric iodides are readily prepared by the reaction of mercury(0) and allylic iodides.They undergo efficient acylation with allylic rearrangement upon reaction with acyl chlorides and aluminium chloride to provide a convenient synthesis of allylic ketones.Artemisia ketone is prepared in two steps by this approach.
Reaction of Ester Enolates with Nucleophiles. Stereocontrolled Formation of Ketone and Aldehyde Enolates
Fehr, Charles,Galindo, Jose
, p. 1828 - 1830 (2007/10/02)
Lithium enolates of carboxylic and thiocarboxylic esters react with nucleophiles to afford ketone and aldehyde enolates and subsequently their enol silyl ethers diastereoselectively.This reaction is applied to the synthesis of γ-damascone, α-damascone, β-safranal, and artemisia ketone.
