Both enantiomers of 2-methyllinalyl diphosphate (2-Me-LPP) were synthesized enantioselectively using Sharpless epoxidation as a key step and purification of enantiomerically enriched intermediates through HPLC separation on a chiral stationary phase. Their enzymatic conversion with 2-methylisoborneol synthase (2MIBS) demonstrates that ()-2-Me-LPP is the on-pathway intermediate, while a minor formation of 2-methylisoborneol from ()-2-Me-LPP may be explained by isomerization to 2-Me-GPP and then to ()-2-Me-LPP.
以夏普莱斯环氧化反应作为关键步骤,通过在手性固定相上进行高效液相色谱分离对映体富集的中间体,对2-甲基里哪醇二磷酸酯(2-Me-LPP)的两种对映体进行了对映选择性合成。它们与2-甲基异冰片合酶(2MIBS)的酶促转化表明,(+)-2-Me-LPP是途径中的中间体,而由(-)-2-Me-LPP少量生成2-甲基异冰片可通过异构化为2-Me-GPP然后再异构化为(+)-2-Me-LPP来解释。
