Popis: The enantioselective synthesis of (S)-(-)-spirobrassinin, which features a unique sulfur-containing spirooxindole skeleton, was achieved by focusing on the phytoalexin generation in Brassicaceae plants. Specifically, (S)-(-)-spirobrassinin was obtained in a one-pot fashion from L-tryptophan through a reaction involving S-spirocyclization with various turnip enzymes and constituents, i.e., using the turnip as a reaction reagent, catalyst, and reaction vessel. Surprisingly, this strategy also enabled the one-pot enantioselective synthesis of the novel non-natural spirooxindole (S)-(-)-5-methylspirobrassinin from 5-methyl-DL-tryptophan.
