| Research Abstract |
Some spores of plant pathogenic fungi possess the compounds, named as self-inhibitor, which interfere the germination of spores. In 1982, Mayor and his coworkers reported the isolation of a self-inhibitor, gloeosporone, from the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioide. We aimed at the synthesis of the compound to investigate the structure-activity relationship.
In the first year of the grant, we accomplished the synthesis of gloeosporone as a racemic modification along with its diastereoisomer. Based on the result, we focused on the synthesis of these compounds in optically active forms. Application of Lewis acid catalysed preparation of the carbamates on (dl)-1-tridecene-8-ol with (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl isocyanate (Pirkle's reagent) gave a mixture of the diastereoisomeric carbamates. After separation of each isomer in pure form, the optically active 1-decene-8-ols were regenerated by reduction with lithium aluminum hydride. By tracing the procedure for synthesis of racemic gloeosporone, the synthesis of (+)- and (-)-gloeosporone and their stereoisomers were completed. The biological test of these compounds synthesized, however, have the weak activity as a self-inhibitor. The effort to disclose the discrepancy between the reported data and our results is under investigation.
