Question
Chapter 18.SE, Problem 69GP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Given that the enzyme chorismate mutase catalyzes a Claisen rearrangement of chorismate. The structure of prephenate obtained as the product is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
In Claisen rearrangement allyl phenyl ethers undergo rearrangement when heated to 200-250°C to yield an o-allylphenol. It is a case of (3, 3) sigmatrophic rearrangement.
To show:
The structure of prephenate obtained as the product obtained when chorismate undergoes Claisen rearrangement catalyzed by the enzyme chorismate mutase.

(a) What product is formed by the Claisen rearrangement of compound Z? (b) Using what you have learned about ring-closing metathesis in Chapter 26, draw the product formed when the product in part (a) is treated with Grubbs catalyst. These two reactions are key steps in the synthesis of garsubellin A, a biologically active natural product that stimulates the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Compounds of this sort may prove to be useful drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
