Completely reversed stereoselectivity of reduction of methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methyl-α-L-mannopyranoside (2) and its deisopropylidenated derivative (7) was observed. Compound 2 gave exclusively the L-talo-isomer (3) with NaBH4 in MeOH, but the reduction of 7 with NaBH4 in acetic acid resulted in the L-manno-derivative 8. It is assumed that in the first case the stereoselectivity is determined by the steric accessibility of the carbonyl group, while in the second case free OH-groups direct the selectivity of the reduction by complexation or ligand exchange.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Five new cytotoxic macrolide glycosides phorbasides A-E (3-7), each possessing a macrolide ring appended to a rare ene-yne-trans-2-chlorocyclopropane, were isolated from the same Western Australian sponge (Phorbas sp.) that provided phorboxazoles A and B. The structures of 3-7 were solved by analysis of spectroscopic data including NMR, MS, and CD. A synthesis of methyl 2-O-methyl-α-L-evalose from L-rhamnose was completed and used for configurational assignment of the sugar residue in 3. Acid-catalyzed methanolysis of 3 followed by two-step derivatization of the liberated O-methyl glycoside gave a vicinal 4-O-naphthoyl/tertiary 3-N-(2-aminonaphthyl)carbamate derivative that exhibited exciton coupled CD identical with that of the derivative prepared from synthetic 1,2-O-dimethyl-α-L-evalose.
