Leaving Groups

A comparison of the products from elimination reactions of a number of compounds containing various leaving groups with those containing the N-methyl oxypyridinium leaving group suggests that the elimination is not occurring by means of a simple E1 mechanism. Changing the anion of the salt from iodide to methyl-sulphate and tetrafluoroborate affects the product composition indicating that the anion is taking part in the reaction. The mechanism of this reaction appears to be on the E1-E2 borderline.

Elimination Reactions

Stereospecifically deuterated ArCHDCHDNMe3+ I − and ArCHDCHDNMe2O have been prepared, where Ar=C6H5 and p-NO2C6H4. When Ar=C6H5, the elimination reaction of the quaternary salt with ethoxide in ethanol goes with >98% anti stereochemistry, and the Cope elimination of the amine oxide with >98% syn stereochemistry. When Ar=p-No2C6H4, however, both reactions lead to apparent 50:50 anti/syn product. Subjection of (E)-p-nitrostyrene-β-d to the conditions of both the ethoxide-promoted and Cope eliminations results in complete cis–trans equilibration. No loss of deuterium from p-nitrosryrene-α-d occurs under either set of conditions, excluding isomerization via an α-arylvinyl carbanion. The most likely mechanism for isomerization is reversible addition of ethoxide under E2 conditions and ArCHDCHDNMe2O under Cope conditions to the β-carbon of p-nitrostyrene. The cis–trans isomerization of the p-nitrosryrene is sufficiently rapid to preclude determination of the stereochemistry of base-promoted eliminations leading to it.

Elimination Reactions

Stereochemical studies on tyrosine phenol-lyase from Escherichia intermedia have shown that the α,β-elimination reactions of ʟ-serine and ᴅ- and ʟ-tyrosine proceed with retention of config­uration at C-β. Stereospecifically (β-tritiated ʟ-serine is slowly racemized at C-β Deuterium from the α-position of ʟ-tyrosine is partially transferred to C-4 of the phenol formed when the α,β- elimination reaction is carried out in H2O, although no transfer of α-1H in 2H2O was seen. The result favors tautomerization of the p-hydroxyphenyl to a cyclohexadienonyl moiety prior to carbon-carbon bond cleavage. In the conversion of ʟ- to ᴅ-alanine catalyzed by tyrosine phenol- lyase, some a-hydrogen recycling is observed, pointing to a single-base racemization mechanism. Attempts to demonstrate cofactor motion during racemization by NaBH4 reduction of [3H]PLP- enzyme: ᴅ- and ʟ-alanine complexes failed, but showed that, as in other PLP enzymes, the holoenzyme is reduced preferentially from the Re face with respect to C-4′ of PLP and enzyme- substrate complexes preferentially from the Si face.

Intramolecular Transfer

Allylic addition—elimination reactions are widely used in the enzyme-catalysed formation of terpenoid metabolites. It has earlier been shown that the isoprenoid chain elongation reaction catalysed by farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase involving successive condensations of dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) and geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) with isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) corresponds to such an S E' reaction with net syn stereochemistry for the sequential electrophilic addition and proton elimination steps. Studies of the enzymic cyclization of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to pentalenene have now established the stereochemical course of two additional biological S E' reactions. Incubation of both (9R)-and (9S)-[9- 3 H, 4,8- 14 ] FPP with pentalenene synthase and analysis of the resulting labelled pentalenene has revealed that H-9 re of FPP becomes H-8 of pentalenene, while H-9 si undergoes net intramolecular transfer to the adjacent carbon, becoming H-l re (lH-loc) of pentalenene, as confirmed by subsequent experiments with [10- 2 H, 11- 13 C]FPP. These results correspond to net anti-stereochemistry in the intramolecular allylic addition—elimination reaction. The stereochemical course of a second S E < reaction has now been examined by analogous incubations of (4 S , 8 S )-[4,8- 3 H, 4,8- 14 C ]FPP and (4 R ,8R)-[4,8- 3 H, 4,8- 14 C ]FPP with pentalenene synthase. Determ ination of the distribution of label in the derived pentalenenes showed stereospecific loss of the original H-8 si proton. Analysis of the plausible conformation of the presumed reaction intermediates revealed that the stereochemical course of the latter reaction cannot properly be described as either syn or anti, since cyclization and subsequent double bond formation require significant internal motions to allow proper overlap of the scissile C—H bond with the developing carbocation.
