Iridoid Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Aphids Mimics Iridoid-Producing Plants

Biosynthesis of (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol (1) and (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone (2) in plants involves iridoid synthase (ISY), an atypical reductive cyclase that catalyses the reduction of 8-oxogeranial into the reactive enol of (S)-8-oxocitronellal, and cyclization of this enol intermediate, either non-enzymatically or by a nepetalactol-related short chain dehydrogenase enzyme (NEPS) that yields the nepetalactols. In this study, we investigated the biosynthesis in vivo of 1 and 2 in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, using a library of isotopically-labelled monoterpenoids as molecular probes. Topical application of deuterium-labelled probes synthesized from geraniol and nerol resulted in production of 2H4?lactol 1 and 2H4?lactone 2. However, deuterium incorporation was not evident using labelled probes synthesized from (S)-citronellol. These results suggest that iridoid biosynthesis in animals, specifically aphids, may follow a broadly similar route to that characterised for plants.

Surfactant-Assisted Ozonolysis of Alkenes in Water: Mitigation of Frothing Using Coolade as a Low-Foaming Surfactant

Aqueous-phase ozonolysis in the atmosphere is an important process during cloud and fog formation. Water in the atmosphere acts as both a reaction medium and a reductant during the ozonolysis. Inspired by the atmospheric aqueous-phase ozonolysis, we herein report the ozonolysis of alkenes in water assisted by surfactants. Several types of surfactants, including anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, were investigated. Although most surfactants enhanced the solubility of alkenes in water, they also generated excessive foaming during the ozone bubbling, which led to the loss of products. Mitigation of the frothing was accomplished by using Coolade as a nonionic and low-foaming surfactant. Coolade-assisted ozonolysis of alkenes in water provided the desired carbonyl products in good yields and comparable to those achieved in organic solvents. During the ozonolysis reaction, water molecules trapped within the polyethylene glycol region of Coolade were proposed to intercept the Criegee intermediate to provide a hydroxy hydroperoxide intermediate. Decomposition of the hydroxy hydroperoxide led to formation of the carbonyl product without the need for a reductant typically required for the conventional ozonolysis using organic solvents. This study presents Coolade as an effective surfactant to improve the solubility of alkenes while mitigating frothing during the ozonolysis in water.

Regioselective Cleavage of Electron-Rich Double Bonds in Dienes to Carbonyl Compounds with [Fe(OTf)2(mix-BPBP)] and a Combination of H2O2 and NaIO4

A method for the regioselective transformation of dienes to carbonyl compounds has been developed. Electron-rich olefins react selectively to yield valuable aldehydes and ketones. The method is based on the catalyst [Fe(OTf)2(mix-BPBP)] with an oxidant combination of H2O2 (1.0 equiv.) and NaIO4 (1.5 equiv.); it uses mild conditions and short reaction times, and it outperforms other olefin cleavage methodologies. The combination of an Fe-based catalyst, [Fe(OTf)2(mix-BPBP)], and the oxidants H2O2 and NaIO4 can discriminate between electronically different double bonds and oxidatively cleave the electron-rich bond in dienes to yield aldehydes and ketones in a regioselective manner. The reaction requires mild conditions (0-50 C) and short reaction times (70 min).

Synthesis of all the stereoisomers of 6-methyl-2-octadecanone, 6,14-dimethyl-2-octadecanone, and 14-methyl-2-octadecanone, the components of the female-produced sex pheromone of a moth, Lyclene dharma dharma

All of the stereoisomers of the components of the female-produced sex pheromone of a moth, Lyclene dharma dharma, were synthesized. They are (R)- and (S)-6-methyl-2-octadecanone, (6R,14R)-, (6R,14S)-, (6S,14R)-, and (6S,14S)-6,14-dimethyl-2-octadecanone, and (R)- and (S)-14-methyl-2-octadecanone. Enantiomers of citronellal and methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate were the starting materials, and olefin cross metathesis was employed as the key reaction.

Putative Diels-Alder-catalyzed cyclization during the biosynthesis of lovastatin

A Diels-Alder cyclization proposed to occur during polyketide synthase assembly of the bicyclic core of lovastatin (1) (mevinolin) by Aspergillus terreus MF 4845 was examined via the synthesis of the N-acetylcysteamine (NAC) thioester of [2,11-13C2]-(E,E,E)-(R)-6-methyldodecatri-2,8,10-enoate (5a). In vitro Diels-Alder cyclization of the corresponding unlabeled NAC ester 5b, ethyl ester 18b, and acid 20b yielded two analogous diastereomers in each case, under either thermal or Lewis acid-catalyzed conditions. The reaction of thioester 5 proceeds readily at 22°C in aqueous media. For 18b, one product is trans-fused ethyl (1R,2R,4aS, 6R,8aR)-1,2,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-2,6-dimethylnaphthalene-1-carboxyl ate (30) (endo product), and the other is cis-fused ethyl (1R,2S,4aR,6R,8aR)-1,2,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-2,6-dimethylnaphthalene -1-carboxylate (31) (exo product). Isomer 21 with stereochemistry analogous to 4a,5-dihydromonacolin L (2), a precursor of 1, was made by transformation of a tricyclic lactone, (1S,2S,4aR,6S,8S,8aS)-1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,2,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-2 -methyl-6,8-naphthalenecarbolactone (22) using reduction and Barton deoxygenation. Comparison of 21 with 30 and 31 confirmed the structural assignments and showed that the nonenzymatic 4 + 2 cyclizations of 5, 18, and 20 proceed via chairlike exo and endo transition states with the methyl substituent pseudoequatorial. The proposed biosynthetic Diels-Alder leading to lovastatin (1) would require an endo conformation with the methyl substituent pseudoaxial. Intact incorporation of the labeled hexaketide triene 5a into 1 was not achieved because of rapid degradation by A. terreus cells.

Ruthenium Tetroxide Oxidation of Alkenes. A More Complete Picture

The ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of some linear and cyclic alkenes, representatives of five substitution patterns, has been performed in acetone-water (5:1) solution at -70 deg C using stoichiometric ammounts of the oxidant.The main reaction products are 1,2-diols and/or α-ketols depending on the nature of the substrate little amounts of scission products, aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids, are also obtained.Generally 1,2-diols predominate over α-ketols except in the oxidation of (-)-α-pinene that afforded the α-ketol in 51percent yield while no trace of the corresponding 1,2-diol was detected.All reactions prceeded through the formation of unstable brownish precipitates, presumably the intermediate ruthenium (VI) esters, which easily decomposed during the work-up step.Results from oxidation of trans-7-tetradecene and cis and trans-11-tetradecenyl acetate indicated that the reaction was syn stereospecific.In some cases, 1,3-dioxolane products, formed by condensation of the 1,2-diol and the aldehyde materials, were also obtained among the reaction products.Their possible origin is briefly discussed.

The mechanistic study and synthetic applications of the base treatment in the ozonolytic reactions

The E1cb mechanism is the overwhelming process in the reaction of bases and ozonides. As a quenching agent in the ozonolysis of a variety of alkenes, the reactions involving triethylamine often gave better yields and proceeded faster than those involving methyl sulfide. On the other hand, in the presence of 4 A molecular sieves, the secondary amines reacted with mono- and 1,1-di-substituted ozonides to afford the reductive amination products in high yields. The formation of ammonium formate in the reaction mixture also supported the E1cb mechanism in the reaction of ozonide and amine.

A convenient and efficient workup of ozonolysis reactions using triethylamine

Comparisons were made between triethylamine and methyl sulfide for their use as a quenching agent in the ozonolysis of a variety of alkenes. The reactions involving triethylamine often gave better yields and proceeded faster than those of involving methyl sulfide. The role of triethylamine played as base instead of reducing agent in the reaction.
