Total synthesis of (±)-, (-)-, and (+)-oudemansin X

Article abstract of DOI:10.1248/cpb.43.1111

Three kinds of oudemansin X, (-)-1, (+)-1 and (±)-1, were totally synthesized. The key point in the present chiral synthesis was the enantioselective acetylation of the racemic alcohols, (±)-5 and (±)-8, using lipase in an organic solvent. The synthetic (-)-1 was found to exhibit strong antifungal activity against several molds and yeasts.
