4-Alkylidene-beta-lactones (hetero ketene dimers) and alpha-amino acids are useful precursors for total syntheses of the beta-lactone-containing proteasome inhibitors salinosporamide A, cinnabaramide A, and derivatives. A key step is a nucleophile-promoted, bis-cyclization of keto acids that simultaneously generates the gamma-lactam and beta-lactone of these natural products. This reaction sequence may have implications for the biosynthesis of these natural products.
4-亚烷基-β-内酯(杂环烯酮二聚体)和α-氨基酸是用于全合成含β-内酯的蛋白酶体抑制剂盐孢霉素A、肉桂酰胺A及其衍生物的有用前体。关键步骤是亲核试剂促进的酮酸双环化反应,该反应同时生成这些天然产物的γ-内酰胺和β-内酯。这一反应序列可能对这些天然产物的生物合成有影响。
