Abstract
The stereochemistry of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent hydrogenation was investigated by the conversion of (—)-dehydrogriseofulvin (1) to (+)-griseofulvin (2a) by the use of a partially purified enzyme system of Streptomyces cinereocrocatus in the presence of (4R)- or (4S)-[4-2H1]NADPH. The results of 270 MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated that the origin of the 6’α-hydrogen of 2a is a hydride ion donated by pro-4R-hydrogen of NADPH.
