Metabolic coupling of dehydration and decarboxylation in the curacin A pathway: Functional identification of a mechanistically diverse enzyme pair

This study describes the functional identification of a pair of mechanistically diverse enzymes that catalyze the successive dehydration (CurE ECH1) and decarboxylation (CurF ECH2) of (S)-HMG-ACP to generate a 3-methylcrotonyl-ACP intermediate, the presumed precursor of the cyclopropyl ring in curacin A. The reactions catalyzed by ECH1 and ECH2 are found in a broad cross-section of microbial natural product gene clusters and participate in the introduction of carbon chain branch points and functional group diversity as key steps in the HMG-CoA synthase mediated addition of C-2 from acetate to the β-carbonyl group of polyketide chains.

Ether cleavage by activated metals II.* Cleavage of allyl and benzyl ethers by activated magnesium
Bartmann, Ekkehard
, p. 19 - 24 (1987)
Activated magnesium (prepared by reduction of magnesium halides with potassium) reacts with allyl and benzyl ethers to give the corresponding allyl or benzyl magnesium compounds.

The allyl ethers of α- and β-naphthol are readily cleaved by metallic magnesium in absolute tetrahydrofuran forming allylmagnesium naphtholates in excellent yields. The cleavage of 2-methylallyl β-naphthyl ether, on the other hand, proceeds slowly giving
Synthesis of the sex pheromone of the citrus mealybug, Pseudococcus cryptus
Nakahata, Takashi,Itagaki, Noriaki,Arai, Tomonori,Sugie, Hajime,Kuwahara, Shigefumi

The sex pheromone of the citrus mealybug (Pseudococcus cryptus), [(1R,3R)-3-isopropenyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl]methyl 3-methyl-3-butenoate, was synthesized from (+)-α-pinene in five operational steps in a 43% overall yield. The synthetic pheromone was identical with the natural pheromone in 1H-NMR and mass spectroscopic properties, and showed almost the same pheromonal activity as the natural pheromone.
Nickel-catalyzed electrocarboxylation of allylic halides with CO2

Nickel-catalyzed regioselective electrocarboxylation of allylic halides with CO2at atmospheric pressure has been developed by adjusting reaction parameters, including catalyst, solvent, temperature and additive. β,γ-Unsaturated carboxylic acids were obtained in moderate to good yields and with high chain selectivity. This reaction shows tolerance to functional groups. In addition, cyclic voltammetry was performed to provide the possible mechanism of nickel-catalyzed CO2allylation.
