Résumé
A practical synthesis of porphobilinogen based on the biosynthetic mechanism is described. The crossed Mukayiama aldol reaction is the key step creating the central carbon-carbon bond between the two protected forms of 5-aminolevulinic acids. The optimized sequence gives a cryst., storable precursor, which can be transformed in high yield into porphobilinogen and bioconjugates thereof. The enzymic hydrolysis of the precursor produces porphobilinogen in quant. yield. [on SciFinder(R)]
