N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are the conserved quorum-sensing signal molecules in Gram-negative bacteria. (Z)-N-(4-Decenoyl)homoserine lactone (1), a new AHL, was isolated from the culture broth of the fungus Mortierella alpina A-178 harboring bacterial endosymbionts, called endobacteria. The structure and absolute configuration of 1 were elucidated by EI-MS, chemical synthesis, and chiral GC analysis. The compound induced the expression of a QS-regulated reporter gene in Agrobacterium tumefaciens NTL4, although its activity was lower than that of N-decanoylhomoserine lactone (6).

cis- and trans-Hex-4-enoic acids and their 6-n-propyl and n-butyl derivatives, when treated with a 1.1 molar excess of m-chloroperbenzoic acid and Amberlyst-15 as catalyst in CH2Cl2 at 20 deg C, gave the corresponding threo- and erythro-5-hydroxyalkylbutan-4-olides in quantitative yields.
