A new total synthesis of the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is presented (9% overall yield from commercially available substrates). The key step consists in the condensation reaction between protected L-phenylalanine and 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-7-carboxylic acid, known as ochratoxin alpha (OTalpha). Using d5-L-phenylalanine, the same strategy could be successfully applied to the first total synthesis of d5-OTA, a molecular tracer for the detection and analytic quantification of the natural mycotoxin in food samples by means of SIDA (stable isotope dilution assay).

The key step consists in the condensation reaction between protected L-phenylalanine and 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxoisochroman-7-carboxylic acid, known as ochratoxin alpha (OTalpha). Using d5-L-phenylalanine, the same strategy could be successfully applied to the first total synthesis of d5-OTA, a molecular tracer for the detection and analytic quantification of the natural mycotoxin in food samples by means of SIDA (stable isotope dilution assay).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
