A syringolide 45, an elicitor of the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas Siringae pv. tomato, has been synthesized in five steps via a fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase reaction (Scheme 95) <2000JOC4529>.

Reaction of ribose 5-phosphate 116 with dihydroxyacetone phosphate, catalyzed by fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase from rabbit muscle (RAMA) affords the ketose diphosphate 117. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate was formed in situ from fructose 1,6-diphosphate by action of RAMA and triose phosphate isome-rase (TPI). The diphosphate 117 was dephosphorylated enzymatically using acid phosphatase, and the ketose 118 was reduced directly into the a-C-manno-side 119 by treatment with bistrimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide, trimethylsilyl-triflate and triethylsilane (Scheme 28) [45]. 

Figure 2.20 The two mechanisms of aldolases. Group 1 enzymes from animals and higher plants use an amino group in the enzyme to form a Schiff s base intermediate to activate the aldol donors. Group II enzymes from lower organisms, use a metal ion, usually Zn " in the active site to form an enolate intermediate. The two mechanisms are examplified by fiuctose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, a very important aldolase in synthesis and breakdown of sugars.

Besides FDPA, three other aldolases using DHAP as the donor are known each aldolase generates a new C3-C4 bond with a different stereochemistry u-erythro for fuculose-l-phosphate aldolase, i.-threo for rhamnulose 1-phosphate aldolase, and D-erythro for tagatose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase [7]. These aldolases accept a great variety of electrophilic substrates, which has been widely exploited in synthesis of sugar analogues [8,9]. 

An interesting enzyme-catalyzed three-component aldolization reaction has been described by Gijsen and Wong [18]. Here, acetaldeyde, 2-substituted acetaldehydes, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate react in the presence of the aldolases 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) and fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase (RAMA) forming the corresponding 5-deoxyketose derivatives (Scheme 9.9).

Carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions are some of the most important transformations in organic chemistry. Sobolov et al. [33] reported that CLCs of fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase from rabbit muscle are much more stable than the soluble enzyme. The synthetic potential of these CLCs was demonstrated by the preparation of a series of compounds shown in Fig. 10. 

Two new stereocenters are established in the DHAP-dependent aldolases-cata-lyzed carbon-carbon bond formation. Consequently four different stereoisomers can be formed (Scheme 5.23). Enantioselective aldolases that catalyze the formation of just one of each of the stereoisomers are available fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase (FDP A), rhamnulose 1-phosphate aldolase (Rha 1-PA), L-fucu-lose 1-phosphate aldolase (Fuc 1-PA) and tagatose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase (TDP A). In particular the FDP A, that catalyzes the formation of the D-threo stereochemistry, has been employed in many syntheses. One such FDP A that... 

We faced the problem of the poor solubility of most N-protected amino aldehydes in water, which might account for the low reactivity observed with D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase from rabbit muscle (RAMA) (14, 15, 19-21). Increasing the percentage of organic co-solvent (e.g. dimethylformamide) in the medium to make the aldehyde soluble may lead to either a dramatic enzyme deactivation [22] or an insolubilization of the donor (e.g. dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and DHAP sodium salt). As a result, no reaction or insufficient product yields are often obtained. 

A one-pot procedure has been proposed for the conversion of dihydroxyacetone and PEP into D-tagatose-1,6-diphosphate 6 (Scheme 13.12). The reaction mixture contains glycerolkinase, pyruvate kinase, triose phosphate isomerase, and a D-tagatose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase [27].
