The oNb group was removed by irradiating a solution of
compound 37 in acetonitrile–water with a 4 W lamp emitting light
of wavelength 366 nm for 1 d. The resulting bis silyl ether 38
was desilylated using TBAF in THF, with acetic acid as a buffer,
to yield F-14329 (1) in 81% after purification by MPLC, identical
to the natural product as to NMR spectra and specific optical
rotation.[21] A conveivable mechanism for the photolysis of the
oNb group, based on the studies of Il’ichev et al.[22] is shown in
Scheme 7. Light-induced tautomerization of 37 could generate
an activated intermediate 39 that undergoes cyclization with re-
aromatization to intermediate 40, which fragments to tetramic
acid 38 and o-nitrosobenzaldehyde.

Scheme 7. Conceivable mechanism of the photolytic deprotection of 37.
In summary, a synthetic route to !-hydroxytyrosine derived
3-acyltetramic acids was devised. It features the use of ortho-
nitrobenzyl as an N-protecting and directing group, readily and
selectively removable at a late stage without compromising the
delicate !-hydroxy group and the configurational integrity of
stereocenters. The fungal metabolite F-14329 (1) was prepared
by this approach in 14 steps and 3.9% overall yield.
