A Three-Step, Gram-Scale Synthesis of Hydroxytyrosol, Hydroxytyrosol Acetate, and 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol

Abstract: Hydroxytyrosol and two other polyphenols of olive tree, hydroxytyrosol acetate and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, are known for a wide range of beneficial activities in human health and prevention from diseases. The inability to isolate high, pure amounts of these natural compounds and the difficult and laborious procedures for the synthesis of them led us to describe herein an efficient, easy, cheap, and scaling up synthetic procedure, from catechol, via microwave irradiation.

“…Indeed, most involve fresh olives [ 34 , 75 , 76 , 77 ], while there were others that used olives intended only for oil production [ 70 , 78 ]. To this date, the content of processed edible olives has been mainly investigated by HPLC-DAD [ 15 , 37 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 ] and MS [ 32 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 78 ], with NMR coming in a resounding third place [ 60 ]. It is important to note that minor deviations compared with the literature were observed, in some cases, in chemical shifts due to pH or calibration mismatches.…”

“…Some researchers focus on the possibility of isolating some of the bioactive compounds from EVOO [ 82 ], such as hydroxytyrosol, to enrich the olive oil itself [ 16 ] or even to be used as a natural food additive, taking advantage of their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity to improve the stability of processed foods including processed meats [ 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 ]. In fact, EFSA confirmed in 2017 that hydroxytyrosol can be extracted from olive sources or produced by chemical synthesis or through the use of microorganisms and added in formulas for dietary supplementation with no difference from the natural compound [ 116 ].…”

“…Hydroxytyrosol, which is one of the most studied compounds and to which a great antioxidant capacity is attributed, has not reported toxicity and no adverse effects (NOAEL) have been observed up to 500 mg/kg/day (NOAEL) [80]. Phenolic compounds play a key role in the beneficial effects of EVOO on human health and could act as supplement in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry for the treatment and prevention of oxidative stress such as inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases and cancer [81][82][83].…”

“…Therefore, it is not surprising that many chemical efforts have been made to collect pure HTy, either by synthesis or from natural sources [12]. Particularly, HTy can be obtained from Ty chemically, often using costly reactants [13][14][15]; enzymatically [16]; or from tyrosine through three biocatalyzed steps [17].…”

Moreover, the acetylation of the primary alcohol of Ty and HTy, to give TyAc and HTyAc (Figure 1), respectively, increases their lipophilicity and lipid solubility, modifying their bioavailability [18], stability [19] and antioxidant effect in cosmetic products and food emulsions [20].…”
