Synthesis Of Disubstituted Β-Hydroxy Acids For The Enzymatic Synthesis Of Chiral Β-Lactones, Laura Charlotte Underwood, James Christenson
Science Symposium
Beta-lactone synthetases are a class of enzymes which produce chiral beta-lactones, four-membered cyclic esters, from racemic beta-hydroxy acid substrates. Chiral beta-lactones are used as chemical synthons and as bioactive compounds, such as the FDA-approved drug, Orlistat. However, substrate specificity of stand-alone beta-lactone synthetases are poorly understood, and their use in chemoenzymatic synthesis of chiral bioactive compounds remains unexplored. This research focused on the organic synthesis of beta-hydroxy acids to probe the substrate specificity of this class of enzymes and to generate potentially bioactive compounds against essential tuberculosis enzymes. The beta-hydroxy acid 2-[(5-chlorofuran-2-yl)(hydroxy) methyl]hexanoic acid was synthesized from lithiated hexanoate and …
