The stereoselective cyclization of geranylgeraniol catalysed by squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC) was investigated. By use of this transformation, spongiane diterpenoids (+)-isoagatholactone and (+)-spongian-16-one, and meroterpenoid 3-deoxychavalone A were synthesized in a concise and redox-economic manner. This work showcases the application of SHC-catalysed cyclization as a key step in terpenoid synthesis.
研究了鲨烯-角鲨烯环化酶(SHC)催化的香叶基香叶醇的立体选择性环化。通过这种转化,以简洁和氧化还原经济的方式合成了海绵二萜类化合物(+)-异阿魏酸内酯和(+)-海绵-16-酮,以及美罗萜 3-去氧查尔酮 A。这项工作展示了 SHC 催化的环化在萜类合成中的关键步骤的应用。
