Dideuterated β-cyclohexenylalanines, proposed biosynthetic intermediates of the cinnabaramides, can be obtained from chiral alkynols via a sequence of Irland-Claisen rearrangement, ring closing metathesis, and radical decarboxylation. Feeding experiments indicate that both (2S)-β-cyclohexenylalanines can be incorporated into cinnabaramide, while the configuration at the cyclohexenyl ring does not restrict biosynthetic processing.
氘代β-环己烯基丙氨酸是肉桂酰胺类化合物的生物合成中间体,可通过手性炔醇的爱尔兰-克莱森重排、闭环复分解和自由基脱羧反应序列获得。饲喂实验表明,(2S)-β-环己烯基丙氨酸都可以掺入肉桂酰胺中,而环己烯环的构型并不限制生物合成过程。
