(Figure presented) The total synthesis of depsilairdin, a host-selective phytotoxin isolated from Leptosphaeria maculans (the causal agent of blackleg disease of oilseed Brassicas), has been achieved by N-terminal extension of a suitably protected derivative of the hitherto unknown amino acid (2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-3-methyl-proline (Dhmp) followed by esterification with lairdinol A. The latter esterification, complicated by the sterically hindered nature of the carboxyl group, was accomplished by a novel method involving reaction of the 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) derived active ester with the bromomagnesium alkoxide of lairdinol A. Three depsilairdin analogues were also prepared by replacing the Dhmp residue with l-proline and cis- and trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline. Phytotoxicity assays showed that the analogues were nontoxic to both blackleg-susceptible (brown mustard) and -resistant (canola) plants, suggesting that the presence of the Dhmp residue in depsilairdin is important for its host-selective toxicity toward brown mustard.
Enantiospecific and stereoselective synthesis of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines and indolizidines from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline

We have developed a short, efficient, and stereoselective synthesis of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine and indolizidine glycosidase inhibitors starting from 4-hydroxy-L-proline. The regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation of an N-Pf-4-oxoproline enolate and the stereoselective reduction of the resulting keto alcohol allowed us to introduce the cis diol present in the target compounds. The different side chains needed to complete the syntheses of the target compounds were introduced by reduction of the ester group of a substituted proline or by reaction of organolithium or organomagnesium reagents with the same group followed by stereoselective reduction of the resulting ketones. Hydrogenolysis of the alcohols thus obtained gave the hydrochlorides of the desired pyrrolidine glycosidase inhibitors, which were obtained in nine steps in overall yields greater than 50%. The indolizidine glycosidase inhibitor 8-epi-swainsonine was also prepared using this approach.

A short, efficient and stereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure (2R,3S,4R) 3,4-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine, a galactosidase inhibitor, from 4-hydroxy-L-proline is presented.The key steps are the regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation
