The biosynthesis of naphthomycin A (1) in Streptomyces collinus was studied in feeding experiments with single and multiple 13C-labeled precursors followed by 13C NMR analysis of the labeling and 13C–13C coupling patterns in the product. The results indicate that 1 is assembled via the polyketide pathway from 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (2) as the starter unit (mC7N unit) plus seven propionate and six acetate chain extension units. 2 is synthesized via the shikimate pathway by a process that attaches the nitrogen to the carbon derived from C1 of erythrose 4-phosphate, consistent with a new branch of the shikimate pathway recently discovered to operate in the biosynthesis of the mC7N unit of rifamycin B.

Glucosylation of the cis- and trans-isomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol (1a/1b, 2a/2b, 1a or 2a) was performed to prepare the corresponding alkyl β-D-glucopyranosides, mainly to get analytical data of pure enantiomers of the glucosides (3a-6b), required for subsequent investigations of related compounds with biological activity. One of the employed modifications of the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis resulted in achieving 85-95% yields of pure β-anomers 3a/3b, 4a/4b, 3a or 4a of protected intermediates, with several promoters and toluene as solvent, yielding finally the deprotected products 5a/5b, 6a/6b, 5a or 6a as pure β-anomers. To obtain enantiomerically pure β-anomers of the target structure (3a, 4a, 5a and 6a) for unambiguous structure assignment, an enzymic reduction of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-one by Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole cells was performed to get (1S,2S)- and (1S,2R)-enantiomers (1a and 2a) of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-ol. The opposite enantiomers of alkyl β-D-glucopyranosides (5b and 6b) were obtained by separation of the diastereoisomeric mixtures 5a/5b and 6a/6b by chiral HPLC. All stereoisomers of the products (3a-6b) were subjected to a detailed 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis.

Abstract13C-NMR analysis of the isoflavonoid phytoalexins phaseollin and kievitone produced by feeding sodium [1,2-13C2]acetate to wounded bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cotyledons has demonstrated the incorporation of intact acetate units into the aromatic A rings. Phaseollin shows a specific folding of the polyketide chain, whereas kievitone exhibits a randomisation of label in accordance with the intermediacy of a 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxylated chalcone during its formation. In neither case was sufficient label incorporated into analysis.

Feeding experiments with glucose- (2-14C), phenylalanine- (3-14C), tyrosine- (3-14C) and p-coumaric acid- (3-14C) showed that the latter three substances are incorporated in good yields into p-hydroxybenzoic acid in leaves of Catalpa ovata. Kinetic experiments showed that p-hydroxybenzoic acid is formed from phenylalanine via p-coumaric acid and the subsequent β-oxidation of the side chain. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid can also be synthetised by hydroxylation of benzoic acid, but this does not seem to be the biosynthetic route in Catalpa.Phenylalanine- (3-14C) is also incorporated into benzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and vanillic acid by different plants; the radioactivity of the β-C atom of the amino acid was found in each case to be located in the carboxyl group of the C6 — C1 acid. This suggests that in higher plants the benzoic acids are formed from the corresponding cinnamic acids via β-oxidation.

The13C-isotopomer enrichment of hepatic cytosolic acetyl-CoA of overnight-fed mice whose drinking water was supplemented with [U-13C]fructose, and [1-13C]glucose andp-amino benzoic acid (PABA) was quantified by13C NMR analysis of urinaryN-acetyl-PABA. Four mice were given normal chow plus drinking water supplemented with 5% [1-13C]glucose, 2.5% [U-13C]fructose, and 2.5% fructose (Solution 1) overnight. Four were given chow and water containing 17.5% [1-13C]glucose, 8.75% [U-13C]fructose and 8.75% fructose (Solution 2). PABA (0.25%) was present in both studies. UrinaryN-acetyl-PABA was analyzed by13C NMR. In addition to [2-13C]- and [1,2-13C]acetyl isotopomers from catabolism of [U-13C]fructose and [1-13C]glucose to acetyl-CoA, [1-13C]acetyl was also found indicating pyruvate recycling activity. This precluded precise estimates of [1-13C]glucose contribution to acetyl-CoA while that of [U-13C]fructose was unaffected. The fructose contribution to acetyl-CoA from Solutions 1 and 2 was 4.0 ± 0.4% and 10.6 ± 0.6%, respectively, indicating that it contributed to a minor fraction of lipogenic acetyl-CoA under these conditions.

The mechanism of the polycondensation reaction leading to naphthalimide polymers has been investigated using a model compound. In complement to 19F-NMR analysis, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopies were used to identify the intermediate compound. It was concluded that there was no evidence for the formation of an isoimide, but the formation of an amide—acid intermediate was clearly demonstrated.

Treatment of naphtho-9-crown-3 ether with FeCl3 and aqueous H2SO4 generates bis-naphtho-9-crown-3 ether in ca. 30% yield. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group; a = 9.2004(9), b = 18.0868(17), and c = 13.2078(13) Å, β = 97.799(2)° and Z = 4. 1H and 13C NMR data have been obtained in solution, and the solid-state 13C NMR spectrum is included for comparison. A chemical shift range of ca. 12 ppm has been found for the oxygenated aliphatic carbons in the solid state, in contrast to the 3 ppm range in the solution 13C NMR spectrum. These results are discussed in terms of the torsional environments of the carbon sites in the crystal structure.Key words: crown ether, stereochemistry, oxidative dimerization.

Several isomeric compounds derived from the spiro systems 5 to 9 (Scheme 4) were obtained from the acid cyclization of the appropriate dihydroxy ketone precursor.The configuration and the conformation of the products obtained was determined by 13C nmr analysis and equilibration studies. The experimental results can be rationalized by taking into account the anomeric and the exo-anomeric effects and the usual steric interactions.
