The total synthesis of the cyclopeptide biphenomycin B (1b), a compound exhibiting a potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, is described. The non-proteinogenic amino acid (S,S)-diisotyrosine (2) was prepared by enantioselective hydrogenation of the corresponding didehydroamino acids. The 15-membered ansa ring was obtained in 85% yield within 5 minutes by ring closure of the appropriate linear pentafluorophenyl ester in the two phase system chloroform-aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate without dilution.

, p. 487 - 490 (2007/10/02)
The rearrangement of (E)-didehydroamino acid derivatives to the corresponding Z-derivatives under acid or basic catalysis as well as under the influence of radicals has been investigated. The condensation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl or N-tert-butoxycarbonyl protected alkyl 2-amino-2-(dimethoxyphosphoryl)acetates with aldehydes or ketones in dichloromethane in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene furnishes (Z)-didehydroamino acid ester derivatives diastereoselectively in excellent yields and with high purity.

, p. 275 - 277 (2007/10/02)
Biphenomycin B, a highly potent antibiotic against Gram-negative, β-lactam-resistant bacteria, which was previously isolated from culture filtrates of Streptomyces griseorubiginosus No. 43708, has now been synthesized.
