A Convenient and Stereoselective Synthesis of 11Z-3,4-Didehydroretinal by Horner-Emmons Reaction Using Diphenyl Phosphonate

Abstract: In the visual pigment rhodopsin, the chromophore 11Z-retinal (1, vitamin A 1 aldehyde) binds to the e-amino group of a lysine residue of the apoprotein opsin through a protonated Schiff base.2) Rhodopsin is the G-protein-coupled photoreceptor in the retina of vertebrates that initiates the visual signal transduction cascade in dim light.3) It is a representative G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and is a member of the superfamily of the seven transmembrane helix proteins, a biologically very significant cla… Show more

“…The amplified DNA fragments were digested with restriction enzymes and cloned into the expression vector pMT5 [ 48 ] for LWS or pFLAG-CMV-5a (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, Missouri, United States) for RH1. The visual pigments were reconstituted with A1- and A2-derived retinal, with A2-derived retinal synthesized as described previously [ 49 ]. Absorption spectra of the pigment solutions in the presence of hydroxyl-amine (<100 mM) before and after photobleaching were recorded using a spectrophotometer (UV-2400; Shimadzu; Kyoto, Japan), with 5–30 measurements before and after photobleaching.…”

“…A1-10ex (4a) and A2-10ex (4b) were prepared from β-ionylideneacetaldehyde (9a) 23) and 3,4-didehydro-βionylideneacetaldehyde (9b) 24) by C2-/C5-elongated sequence (Chart 3). Although A1-14ex (5a) was a known compound as 14′-apo-β-carotenal, which was produced by the oxidative degradation of β,β-carotene, 21) we prepared 5a by the C2elongated sequence from retinal (2a).…”

“…Under these conditions also threo-adduct can form which gives trans isomer by the elimination of diphenyl phosphate salt. In the mean time via this method 3,4-didehydro-11 Z -retinal and 7,8-dihydro-11 Z -retinal have been prepared [ 100 , 101 ].…”
