Oximes are unrecognized chameleons in general and specialized plant metabolism. and -hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime are key intermediates in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin produced in sorghum. Nevertheless, none of the geometrical oxime isomers accumulate in the plant. Herein, we report a convenient route to the chemical synthesis of and -hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime and its biologically produced -β-d-glucopyranoside using -hydroxyphenylacetic acid as a starting material. This starting material is also available in radiolabeled forms. All reaction steps proceeded with excellent yield under mild conditions, operational facility, and scalability.

The haem-thiolate N-hydroxylase cytochrome P450TYR involved in the biosynthesis of the tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in Sorghum bicolor had recently been isolated. Reconstitution of enzyme activity by insertion of cytochrome P450TYR and NADPH-cytochrome P450-reductase into L-alpha-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine micelles and using tyrosine as substrate results in the formation of p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime. Quantitative substrate binding spectra demonstrate that tyrosine and N-hydroxytyrosine are mutually exclusive substrates that bind to the same active site of cytochrome P450TYR.

The biosynthesis of the tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin involves N-hydroxytyrosine, (E)- and (Z)-p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime, p-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile, and p-hydroxymandelonitrile as intermediates and has been studied in vitro using a microsomal enzyme system obtained from etiolated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) seedlings. The biosynthesis is inhibited by carbon monoxide and the inhibition is reversed by 450 nm light demonstrating the involvement of cytochrome P-450.
