<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing (-)-AMBROXAN (R) from homofarnesol that uses SHC (squalene-hopene cyclase). <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing (-)-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyldecahydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan includes making SHC act on the homofarnesol, in a solvent at a pH of 5.2-6.6. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、(−)−3a、6、6、9a−テトラメチルドデカヒドロナフト[2、1−b]フランの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a process for producing (−)-3a, 6,6,9a-tetramethyldodecahydronaphtho [2,1-b] furan.

3a、6、6、9a−テトラメチルドデカヒドロナフト[2、1−b]フラン(「アンブロキサン(登録商標)」とも称する)は、香気特性と残香性に優れたアンバー系調合香料に欠かせない化合物である。   3a, 6,6,9a-Tetramethyldodecahydronaphtho [2,1-b] furan (also referred to as “Ambroxan (registered trademark)”) is indispensable for amber-based blended fragrances with excellent aroma characteristics and residual fragrance properties There is no compound.

また、光学異性体を比較すると、(−)−アンブロキサンは典型的なアンバー香気を有し、(+)−アンブロキサンは弱い木様香気を有するため、香料としての有用性の点から、高い光学純度で(−)−体を得る必要性が高く、(−)−アンブロキサンの不斉合成方法について、現在研究開発が盛んに行われている。   In addition, when the optical isomers are compared, (−)-ambroxan has a typical amber fragrance, and (+)-ambroxan has a weak tree-like fragrance, which is high in terms of usefulness as a fragrance. There is a high need to obtain a (−)-isomer with optical purity, and research and development are actively conducted on asymmetric synthesis methods of (−)-ambroxane.

例えば、下記に示すように、天然植物クラリーセージの抽出物である(−)−スクラレオールを出発原料とし、(+)−スクラレオライドを経由する製造方法が、(−)−アンブロキサンの好適な工業的製法として知られている(非特許文献1)。
しかしながら、この方法においては、天然原料を用いるために、多段階反応であり操作が迂遠である、供給量と供給安定性が満足のいくものではない、(−)−スクラレオールの酸化分解工程においてクロム酸や過マンガン塩などの酸化剤を用いており環境負荷が大きい、という問題があった。
For example, as shown below, a production method using (−)-sclareol, which is an extract of natural plant clary sage, as a starting material and passing through (+)-sclareolide is a suitable industry for (−)-ambroxan. It is known as a general manufacturing method (Non-patent Document 1).
However, in this method, since natural raw materials are used, the supply amount and the supply stability are not satisfactory because of the multistage reaction and the operation is diverted. In the oxidative decomposition process of (−)-sclareol, There is a problem that an environmental load is large because an oxidizing agent such as acid or permanganate is used.

一方、下記に示すように、スクアレン−ホペン環化酵素(Squalene-Hopene cyclase;以下SHCともいう)はスクアレンを基質とし、ホペン、ホパノールといった環状化合物を生成する環化酵素であり、Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius由来、Zymomonas mobilis由来、Bradyrhizobium japonicum由来、 Methylococcus capsulatus由来、Frankiana由来、Acetobacter pasteurianum由来、Tetrahymena pyriformis由来等のものが知られている。中でもAlicyclobacillus acidocaldarius由来酵素は遺伝子配列が解明されており、大腸菌によって組換え酵素を発現させ、安定に機能させる方法が知られている(非特許文献2)。 On the other hand, as shown below, squalene-hopene cyclase (Squalene-Hopene cyclase; hereinafter also referred to as SHC) is a cyclase that produces a cyclic compound such as hopene and hopanol using squalene as a substrate, derived from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius , Zymomonas mobilis origin, Bradyrhizobium japonicum origin, Methylococcus capsulatus origin, Frankiana origin, Acetobacter pasteurianum origin, Tetrahymena pyriformis origin, etc. are known. Among them, the gene sequence of the enzyme derived from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius has been elucidated, and a method for expressing the recombinant enzyme in Escherichia coli and causing it to function stably is known (Non-patent Document 2).

近年、この酵素を用いて、種々の基質に対する反応性が検討されている。例えば、ファルネソールを基質とした場合、変換率64%で下記の化合物(a),(b),(c),(d)が7:3:45:9の割合で生成することが報告されている(非特許文献3及び4)。   In recent years, reactivity to various substrates has been studied using this enzyme. For example, when farnesol is used as a substrate, it has been reported that the following compounds (a), (b), (c), and (d) are produced in a ratio of 7: 3: 45: 9 at a conversion rate of 64%. (Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4).

Figure 2009060799
Figure 2009060799

また、ホモファルネソールを基質とした場合、アンブロキサンが生成することが報告されている(非特許文献5)が、変換率は3%と極めて低く、また、(−)−体の光学純度については言及されていないことから、当該文献は、(−)−アンブロキサンの製造方法をなんら開示するものではない。   Moreover, when homofarnesol is used as a substrate, it has been reported that ambroxane is produced (Non-Patent Document 5), but the conversion rate is extremely low at 3%, and the optical purity of the (−)-form is Since it is not mentioned, this document does not disclose any method for producing (−)-ambroxan.
