A synthesis of petrofuran based on the enantioselective reduction of 1- trimethylsilyl-4-alken-1-yn-3-ones
Garcia,López,Romeu
, p. 429 - 431 (1999)
Highly enantioenriched 4-alken-1-yn-3-ol moiety (1), present in many bioactive acetylenic metabolites from sponges, has been efficiently obtained by reduction of the parent 1-trimethylsilyl-4-alken-1-yn-3-one (2) with Alpine-Borane or with BH3 · SMe2 in the presence of chiral oxazaborolidines, followed by desilylation of the resulting alcohol. This strategy has been applied to the first stereoselective synthesis of petrofuran 3.
(ω-2,ω-2,ω-3,ω-3)-Tetradeuterio-fatty acids for mechanistic studies of enzyme-catalyzed hydroxylation reactions

Among the thousands of cytochrome P450 enzymes known, many selectively hydroxylate the hydrocarbon tail of fatty acids at the terminal (ω) position and the ω-1, ω-2, and ω-3 positions. A general method for synthesis of (ω-2,ω-2,ω-3,ω-3)-tetradeuterio-fatty acids that can be used in mechanistic studies of cytochromes P450 is illustrated by the synthesis of 9,9,10,10-tetradueteriododecanoic (lauric) acid and 13,13,14,14-tetradeuteriohexadecanoic (palmitic) acid. Deuterium is introduced early in the synthesis by reduction of the THP ether of 4-heptyn-1-ol with deuterium gas to give a common labeled intermediate, 4,4,5,5- tetradeuterioheptan-1-ol. This alcohol is converted to the corresponding tosylate that is used to alkylate O-protected (ω-1)-alkyn-1-ols to give, eventually, long-chain alcohols that are oxidized to the corresponding fatty acids. An important experimental detail is that relatively large amounts of Wilkinson's catalyst were used to limit isotopic scrambling. Copyright

N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), bacterial signaling compounds involved in quorum-sensing, are a structurally diverse group of compounds. We describe here the identification, synthesis, occurrence and biological activity of a new AHL, N-((2E,5Z)-2,5-dodecadienoyl)homoserine lactone (11) and its isomer N-((3E,5Z)-3,5-dodecadienoyl)homoserine lactone (13), occurring in several Roseobacter group bacteria (Rhodobacteraceae). The analysis of 26 strains revealed the presence of 11 and 13 in six of them originating from the surface of the macroalgae Fucus spiralis or sediments from the North Sea. In addition, 18 other AHLs were detected in 12 strains. Compound identification was performed by GC/MS. Mass spectral analysis revealed a diunsaturated C12 homoserine lactone as structural element of the new AHL. Synthesis of three likely candidate compounds, 11, 13 and N-((2E,4E)-2,4-dodecadienoyl)homoserine lactone (5), revealed the former to be the natural AHLs. Bioactivity test with quorum-sensing reporter strains showed high activity of all three compounds. Therefore, the configuration and stereochemistry of the double bonds in the acyl chain seemed to be unimportant for the activity, although the chains have largely different shapes, solely the chain length determining activity. In combination with previous results with other Roseobacter group bacteria, we could show that there is wide variance between AHL composition within the strains. Furthermore, no association of certain AHLs with different habitats like macroalgal surfaces or sediment could be detected.
Divergent gold-catalysed reactions of cyclopropenylmethyl sulfonamides with tethered heteroaromatics

Cyclopropenylmethyl sulfonamides with tethered heteroaromatics have been demonstrated to undergo divergent gold-catalysed cyclisation reactions. A formal dearomative (4+3) cycloaddition takes place with furan-tethered substrates, yielding densely functionalised 5,7-fused heterocycles related to the bioactive curcusone natural products. Indole-tethered substrates display divergent reactivity giving biologically important tetrahydro-β-carbolines via a Friedel-Crafts mechanism.
