摘要
The reaction mechanism for the biomimetic synthesis of tryptophan from indole and serine in the presence of Ac(2)O in AcOH was investigated. Although the time-course (1)H-NMR spectra of the reaction of 5-methoxyindole with N-acetylserine were measured in the presence of (CD(3)CO)(2)O in CD(3)CO(2)D, the reactive intermediate could not be detected. This reaction was conducted without 5-methoxyindole in order to elucidate the reactive intermediate, but the intermediate could not be isolated from the reaction mixture. Since the intermediate would be expected to have a very short life time, and therefore be very difficult to detect by conventional analytical methods, the structure of the intermediate was elucidated using a 2D-NMR technique, diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY). Two intermediates were detected and confirmed to be 2-methyl-4-methyleneoxazol-5(4H)-one and 2-methyl-4-hydroxymethyloxazol-5(4H)-one. The present results demonstrated that DOSY is a powerful tool for the detection of unstable intermediates.
