Abstract
A new total synthesis of the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is presented, in which it is prepared in 9% overall yield from commercially available substrates. The key step consists of the condensation reaction between protected l-phenylalanine and 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxoisochromane-7-carboxylic acid (ochratoxin α, OTα). The same strategy could be successfully applied to l-d 5-phenylalanine, leading to the first total synthesis of d 5-OTA, a molecular tracer for the detection and analytical quantification of the natural mycotoxin in food samples by means of stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA).

reaction between 8 and 9 has
been carried out previously, in the presence of 2-ethoxy-1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline
(EEDQ), to give, after deprotection, a mixture of 1a and 1b in a total yield of 35-50%,
depending on the crystallization conditions. See:

The only method reported in the literature so far for the synthesis of d 5-OTA (2a) was based on a semi-synthetic sequence involving: (a) acid hydrolysis of OTA to give (R)-OTα; (b) conversion of (R)-OTα into the corresponding acyl chloride by reaction with SOCl2; (c) reaction between the acyl chloride and l-d 5-phenylalanine methyl ester to give methyl-protected d 5-OTA; (d) deprotection of the latter with NaOH in MeOH to give d 5-OTA (2a). The overall yield based on starting OTA was 5% over 4 steps. See ref. 5a.
