Mg-Imidazole-Catalyzed Self-Condensation of Malonyl Thioesters: Getting Tuned for Biomimetic Polyketide Synthesis?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report that a subtle balance of carbanion reactivity, leaving group activation, and pKa of the catalyst is required for efficient self-condensation of thiomalonates to thioacetoacetates in up to 71% yield under “biomimetic” conditions originally proposed by Kobuke and Yoshida (Tetrahedron Lett. 1978, 19, 367).

Cloning and characterization of a type III polyketide synthase from Aspergillus niger.
Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) are the condensing enzymes that catalyze the formation of a myriad of aromatic polyketides in plant, bacteria, and fungi. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a putative type III PKS from Aspergillusniger, AnPKS. This enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of alkyl pyrones from C2 to C18 starter CoA thioesters with malonyl-CoA as an extender CoA throug...
متن کاملSynthesis of unnatural alkaloid scaffolds by exploiting plant polyketide synthase.
HsPKS1 from Huperzia serrata is a type III polyketide synthase (PKS) with remarkable substrate tolerance and catalytic potential. Here we present the synthesis of unnatural unique polyketide-alkaloid hybrid molecules by exploiting the enzyme reaction using precursor-directed and structure-based approaches. HsPKS1 produced novel pyridoisoindole (or benzopyridoisoindole) with the 6.5.6-fused (or ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the substrate specificity of PhlD, a type III polyketide synthase from Pseudomonas fluorescens.
PhlD, a type III polyketide synthase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, catalyzes the synthesis of phloroglucinol from three molecules of malonyl-CoA. Kinetic analysis by direct measurement of the appearance of the CoASH product (k(cat) = 24 +/- 4 min(-1) and Km = 13 +/- 1 microM) gave a k(cat) value more than an order of magnitude higher than that of any other known type III polyketide synthase. Ph...
