Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application] The present invention provides novel optically active bicyclo [2.2.1]
This invention relates to compounds and methods for producing the same. [Prior Art] Hitherto, 2-endo-hydroxy-, 2-exo-hydroxy- or 2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-7-anti-carboxylic acid and its methyl ester are known, and diasmine perfume oil It can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of methyl diasmonate, which is one of the aroma components and is useful as a perfume preparation (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 89657/1989). However, since these compounds have conventionally been produced in the form of racemates, they have not been able to be used as raw materials for producing optically active methyl diasmonate having a natural absolute steric structure. In order to obtain natural levorotatory methyl diasmonate, it is necessary to use as a raw material an optically active form of the bicyclo [2.2.1] compound that is rich in enantiomers whose absolute coordination at the 1st position is R. , such a compound has not been previously known. In addition, 2-oxo-7-benzyloxymethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene, which is a key intermediate for synthesizing prostaglandins, which are useful pharmaceuticals, has not been known. ing. In order to purely produce natural optically active prostaglandins, the intermediate 2-oxo-7-benzyloxymethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene must be It must be an optically active substance enriched in enantiomers whose absolute configuration is R. Methods for producing such optically active substances include a method using racemic resolution ("Hung.Teljes8006") and a method using an asymmetric reaction ("J.Am.Chem.Soc., 97, 6908 (1975)"). ), but in the former case, the yield is low, at most 50%, while in the latter case, although a 100% yield can be theoretically expected, the reagent is expensive. This method cannot be called an industrial method because it requires a large number of terpene derivatives and requires a large number of reaction steps to introduce an asymmetric partial structure. On the other hand, conventionally, 2-oxo-bicyclo [2.2.1]
Hept-5-ene-7-carboxylic acid is known, and when this is used, the prostaglandin intermediate can be obtained by changing the carboxylic acid group at the 7-position to a benzyloxymethyl group. However, the conventionally known 2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-7-carboxylic acid is a racemate, and even if this is used, it is not possible to obtain an optically active product. Can not. [Problem to be solved] As mentioned above, all of the above-mentioned bicyclo [2.2.1] compounds are only known as racemates [Helv.Chim.Acta., 66, 1991]
(1983); Tetrahedron, 37, Suppl. No. 1, 411
(1981); J.Am.Chem.Soc., 95, 7522 (1973)],
No enantiomer-rich enantiomer whose absolute configuration at the 1st position is R is known, and, as a matter of course, no method for producing it is known either. In terms of application of conventional technology, these racemates can be optically resolved in the form of diastereomeric salts or complexes using fractional crystallization, or as diastereomeric derivatives and then chromatographically. Optically active forms can be obtained by methods such as optical resolution using enzymes or selectively changing one of the enantiomers using enzymes or microorganisms. However, all of these operations are complicated and have the disadvantage that the theoretical yield is limited to 50%. Therefore, an optically active bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane- or hept-5-ene-rich enantiomer having a hydroxyl group or an oxo group at the 2-position and the absolute configuration of the 1-position is R.
There is a need for the development of a method for easily synthesizing 7-carboxylic acid or its ester. [Means for solving the problem] In order to obtain the above-mentioned optically active bicyclo [2.2.1] compound, the raw material must have a prochiral structure, and the reagents and catalysts used must be asymmetric molecules. The condition is that it has a structure. From this point of view, the present inventors used bicyclo [2.2.1] as a raw material.
Using heptane- or hept-5-ene-7-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester,
If the carbon at the 2nd position is stereoselectively hydroxylated by the action of microorganisms or further oxidized, the desired 2nd carbon can be obtained.
Optically active bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or hepto-5- having a hydroxyl group or oxo group in the position
Focusing on the fact that en-7-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester can be produced, we diligently searched for microorganisms suitable for this purpose, and as a result, we found microorganisms of the genus Penicillium, Aspergillus, Absidia, Viuberia, Cunninghamella, and Mucor. The present inventors have found that filamentous fungi of the genus or Chaetomium, actinomycetes of the genus Streptomyces, or bacteria of the genus Bacillus are suitable for the purpose, and have completed the present invention. The elements for carrying out the present invention are raw materials,
There are four types: microorganisms, culture conditions for obtaining microbial cells, and conditions for conversion reaction of raw materials using the microorganisms, and these will be explained in detail next. [Raw materials] The raw materials used in the present invention are selected from bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-7-carboxylic acid, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-7-syn-carboxylic acid, and their methyl esters. is selected and is expressed by the following formula.

The culture time is closely related to the expression of activity of the conversion reaction, and preliminary studies are required to find the optimal value each time depending on the amount of inoculated bacteria or spores, medium composition, shaking method, etc. , the values listed in Example 1 below serve as a guide. Next, in order to carry out the conversion reaction, it is possible to add a substrate to the culture and continue culturing, but it is more preferable to separate the bacterial cells by a method such as filtration, and then add the cells to an aqueous solution of the substrate. Alternatively, it is preferable to add it to an aqueous suspension and stir or shake it. The solution used in this case is
It can be a 0.05-0.1M phosphate buffer or a suitable alternative buffer (pH in the neutral range of 6-8). Furthermore, the conversion yield can be increased by adding 0.1 to 5% glycerol, xylose, sucrose, or glucose.

Next, in order to carry out the conversion reaction, it is also possible to newly suspend the bacterial cells collected by centrifugation etc. in a phosphate buffer solution, add the substrate and xylose, etc. to this, and stir. In the case of Bacillus thuringiensis IFO 3951, the strain used in the present invention, a substrate is added to the culture during the culture (approximately 7 hours after the start), and the culture is continued for an additional 24 to 48 hours. The conversion yield was higher. In this case, the amount of substrate added is 100
A suitable amount is 5 to 20 mg per ml. After the conversion reaction, whether it is filamentous fungi, actinomycetes, or bacteria, the bacterial cells are removed by filtration or centrifugation, and the desired product is extracted from the filtrate or centrifuged product with an organic solvent such as ether or ethyl acetate. do.

[Formula] (In the above formula, R is hydrogen or a methyl group) Depending on the microbial reaction, the main product is a bicyclo [2.2.1] compound in which a hydroxyl group is introduced at the 2-position, but Depending on the microorganism, a product with a ketone group introduced at the 2-position may also be produced, but this usually does not constitute the main product. Therefore, in order to obtain a bicyclo[2.2.1] compound containing an oxo (ketone group) at the 2-position, the above-obtained product containing a hydroxyl group at the 2-position is oxidized. The oxidation treatment in this case can be carried out by a conventionally known method, such as a chromic acid oxidation method or a permanganate oxidation method.
