O-Heterocycles via Laccase-Catalyzed Domino Reactions with O₂ as the Oxidant

Abstract

Laccase-catalyzed domino reactions of 4-hydroxy-6-­methyl-2H-pyran-2-one or substituted 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-ones with catechols using molecular oxygen as an oxidant afford coumestans and related O-heterocycles with yields ranging from 51% to 99%.

General Procedure for Laccase-Catalyzed Domino Reactions. 4-Hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one (1, 1 equiv, 3.0 mmol), 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (6, 1 equiv, 3.0 mmol), and catechol 2 (1.1 equiv, 3.4 mmol) were dissolved in 200 mL acetate buffer (pH 4.37, 0.2 M) and vigorously stirred under air at r.t. in the presence of 25 mg laccase (19 U/mg) of Trametes versicolor until the substrates had been fully consumed, as judged by TLC. The reaction mixture was saturated with NaCl and filtered on a Buchner funnel. The filter cake was washed with a solution of 200 mL 15% NaCl and 10 mL H₂O. The crude products obtained after drying exhibited a purity of 90-95% (NMR). Analytically pure products could be obtained by recrystallization. Trans-formations with laccase (320 U/mg) of Agaricus bisporus were performed in a phosphate buffer (pH 6.0, 0.2 M).
